Spinning, or the use of a spin bike, is not the same as using a regular exercise bike. Sure, you can use it in the same way that you would ride a regular bicycle, but the act of spinning has become so much more than that. Using a spin bike for spinning incorporates more fun and new approaches to basic cycling and pedalling. Instead of sitting there and pedalling away, you do things like climbing, sprinting, standing, and even upper-body movements, too. People love spinning for how it incorporates fun with fitness. Coaches (whether in-person or through a video) are uplifting, highly motivating, and can make or break a class. It's also common to hear loud, happy music, and fun lighting while in a session. Not only is a spin class more fun than regular cycling, but it can also help you burn far more calories. Since you're not going the same speed at the same resistance for the entirety of the class, you use your energy more efficiently to sweat more than ever before!
