What is it? Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. As you pedal, motivating music plays and the instructor talks you through a visualization of an outdoor cycling workout: "You're going up a long hill now, you can't see the top yet.…" During the class you vary your pace -- sometimes pedaling as fast as you can, other times cranking up the tension and pedaling slowly from a standing position. This helps you to focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body.
Why we love it: Spinning burns serious calories (about 450 in 45 minutes) and offers an awesome aerobic workout that makes your heart pump fast. It also tones your quadriceps (front thigh muscles) and outer thigh muscles like nobody's business! Because you stay in one place with the same basic movement throughout, Spinning doesn't involve a lot of coordination; it's easier to concentrate on your form than in other types of aerobic classes. And although you follow the general instructions of the spinning teacher, you are in control when it comes to your pace. You can finish a spin class, regardless of your fitness level, simply by adjusting your pace or the tension knob on the bike.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

Get a bike and a pulse meter and learn how to use it.
You will do 600 calories / hour and you'll learn to drive like less of a **** as well.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

"You're going up a long hill now, you can't see the top yet.…"
That would be bad enough in reality, let alone having some idiot shouting it at me. That would make me angry.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
