what kind of results do you get from spin?

KatieBride06

how often do you spin?

and what results/benefits do you really notice?

i know its a great cardio workout, but is it helping you slim and tone? i'm trying to increase my resistence to get more toning lately. funny, but i always gauge how good my workout was by how sore i am the next day. and spin never makes me sore. is that good/bad? i usually only go twice a week. and do elliptical and strengthening at home a few other nights. i know i need to put in more strength though.

I love it! I spin four times a week (besides this week-have the flu). It helps my butt, abs and especially legs firm up. I just feel stronger and much firmer with spinning. I just need to do more light weights for my arms!

Spin is a great cardio work out.

 

If you want to drop weight, 80% has to do with what you eat and about 20% is about working out.  If you eat garbarage, then you're not going to see a difference, even if you work out. 

The best way to help with losing weight is weight training.  Invest in going to some strength training classes or go an see a trainer.  Building up lean muscle mass helps burn more calories.

I love spin, aI actually teach it 2x a week.  I am almost always at least a little sore.  Keep upping that resistance and for toning, add some weight training.  you'll see results much faster that way.

I generally get dizzy.

I think that spin burns more calories per hour than basically anything else you can do at the gym...it's on par with kickboxing and running.
