For those looking to lose weight it is the perfect solution because the average person in a 40 minute class will burn 500 calories.
It’s also great because people from all fitness levels can enjoy a heart pounding workout. Each person is encouraged to find his/her maximum effort and work from there. Another great benefit is that it tones your legs as you spin.
The "climbing" exercise often incorporated into spin classes build strength and define muscle in your legs. Gaining muscle in your legs not only looks great, but also increases your metabolism, making it easier to lose weight.
Women should not be afraid of bulking up their legs though, because these climbs are limited and will not create large, bulking leg muscles.
It’s also no impact by nature so your feet and knees won't hurt. This makes spinning a great workout for people of all ages, even older adults with joint problems. Spinning even helps increase lung capacity and cardiovascular health.
