2 for 1 Spinning Class

Several years ago I was a huge fan as it seemed a fantastic way to burn a lot of calories in a relatively short time and left me with that wonderful buzz after a good exercise class. But, like all good things in Dubai, the class got too busy and you had to book weeks in advance so I let it slip and returned to the gym.

So you can imagine how pleased I was to learn that Emirates Golf club have introduced Spinning at different times of the day and week, I have started going on a Sunday morning at 0745 which is a perfect time for me and the class whilst challenging is not only doing me the world of good but also making me feel fantastic. My only tip is to get some padded shorts! And for those of you, who don’t know what I am wittering about, please see below…

Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. As you pedal, instructor plays fabulous, motivating music and 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.

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 far 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.

So what are you waiting for?
