Indoor Cycle - Get Into It!!!

Spin classes are effective, enjoyable and low impact.

Whether its cold and rainy outside, there is no excuse not to get an amazing cardio workout on a stationary bike. The rider is always in control of the cadence of cycling and the tension on the flywheel, and there are no complicated moves, techniques, or choreography to master. Just make sure you are set up correctly and pedal away!

You work both aerobically and anaerobically, strengthening the heart and helping to lower your resting heart rate. Spin provides a great way to tone the glutes, quads and hamstrings, as well as engaging your stabilizers and core muscles during the sitting and standing positions. This will lead to better posture in everyday life.

If weight loss is your goal then look no further because you can burn anywhere between 400-600 calories in one 45-minute indoor cycling session. It all depends on how hard you push your body and your mind. You will also dramatically improve your fitness level.

Spin is a non-impact activity, and causes less stress on knees, hips and ankles than many other forms of cardio.

Castlereagh Aquatic & Fitness Centre offers 5 Spin classes a week, so you won't miss out no matter what your work hours are like. Each instructor has their own individual style and music selection for the class.

So if you're never done a Spin class before then give it a go. It's for EVERYBODY and it's FUN!
