Indoor Cycling at FLY FITNESS!
Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 1:45PM Indoor Cycling
Our Schwinn AC Performance Bikes arrived last week! They're beautiful and top of the line! Each one has a console that reads your RPM (cadence) and heart rate (if you're wearing a heart rate monitor).
Very few group fitness classes burn as many calories as indoor cycling (spinning) does. Fitness Magazine reports that a 135 pound woman can burn as many as 425 calories for 30 minutes of spinning with an accelerated rate of exertion, which means that it is possible to burn upwards of 800 calories for an hour long class. On a personal note... Traci has lost 4 pounds since she re-started spinning 2 weeks ago! Whoop! Whoop!
Below are a few answers to questions you may have about the program. If you have any other questions please contact us!
I've never taken a spin class, is it easy to do? YES! The great thing about spinning is that you may go at your own pace. If you want to sit and just spin your legs for the first class, that's okay with us. If you can, come in 10-15 minutes before your first class so we can set you up on the bike.
Do I have to be a serious cyclist to come to class? No! Although hard core cyclists can come to class and get a great work out, we find that the majority of participants don't ride outside regularly.
Do I have to wear shorts that make me look like I'm wearing a diaper? You may wear whatever is comfortable for you. If bike shorts aren't your thing, we recommend wearing pants--regular shorts will ride up.
Do I need to wear bike shoes? Our bikes are SPD compatible, but we also have cages if you choose to wear sneakers. We find that clipping into the bike provides a more stable and safer ride and also allows you to target the correct muscle groups. With that said, it's your ride... wear what ever you're comfortable with.

Your life only lasts for a few decades, so be sure that you don't leave any regrets. Laugh or cry as you like, and it‘s meaningless to oppress yourself.replica miu miu handbags
