        THE MANY BENEFITS OF SPINNING (Indoor Cycling)                                    

                                                      By Cyndi Gattoni Hollister, Cycling Director

1.Participants can burn 500+ calories in an hour class.

2. Increases leg strength while toning the leg muscles.

3. Stress relief

4. Year round activity

5. Increase your energy

6. Improve your cardiovascular endurance

7. Doesn't place high amounts of stress on joints compared to high impact aerobics, jogging or stair climber.

8. Improves posture by encouraging the use of stabilizer muscles found in your trunk, hips and shoulders. Strengthening of these muscles helps to enhance body alignment and posture.

Spinning is designed to accommodate all fitness levels and provides a challenge to all who participate. Participants control the intensity of their workouts by a gear knob on their bikes. Spinning has been at the top of many research studies proving that the average spinner can increase their heart rate to 80% which is considered excellent when it comes to burning fat. This is very significant because the majority of fat burning occurs when a person's heart rate is around 65-75% of maximum capacity.

Club USA's spinning program has been highly successful for over 10 years. We started with 16 bikes and in 2008 had 65 bikes with most classes full. Club USA has 14 certified instructors, many of them with years of racing experience along with teaching and coaching.
