For those who want to enjoy cycling year round, spinning classes are not affected by outside weather conditions. Spinning is a great way for the outdoor cycling enthusiast to stay in shape year round. Spinning does not require that the participant learn any complicated dance steps, like some of the other aerobic workouts do. The cost of a spinning program varies from one facility to another. It may be included in your overall club membership fee, or participants may be charged extra to participate.
Spinning programs do require that specially designed bikes be available for use by the participant.
Since spinning is still considered a relatively new form of exercise, it may not be available at many health clubs. If your fitness center does not currently provide a spinning program, express your interest to the club management. Experts strongly recommend that you take a few instructor led classes, before beginning this workout at home. Many participants complain of a sore butt, the first few times they take a spinning class. Bikes shorts and gel seats, both of which offer special padding, can help to alleviate this discomfort.
