Subject: RE: Spinning (revisited)..and a shout out to my wife.... I teach Spinning classes and am so happy that your wife was able to use them as a training tool. Yes...a training tool. Among spin instructors there is a constant argument on whether we should do things that you would or would not do out on the road. It all comes down to this...we aren't outside and therefore it isn't the same thing...BUT, it is a great for cardiovascular training - you can train for endurance, intervals and strength (climbing ) while being low impact and easy on the joints. It isn't replacing bike training on the road, but compliments it beautifully :- )! Plus there is no traffic, no weather problems and you never have to worry about crashing :- )! I know this subject has been covered extensively, but just had to give my 2 cents worth. |
