There are almost as many fitness programs as there are fitness experts and fitness centers! One of the hottest new fitness programs today is spinning. For those of youlike mewho thought spinning required a loom and wool, let me explain. Spinning is a fitness program which makes use of specialized stationary bikes. It has nothing to do with turning wool into yarn. Nor does it bear any relationship to turning ones body quickly around in tight circles until one is dizzy.
Spinning us an indoor cycling activity designed to tone muscles and burn fat. Beyond the typical stationary bike, spinning is an indoor group fitness program in which you bike to lively music in a row of bikes. Spinning can be as vigorous and strenuous or as slow and leisurely as you want it to be. You can increase speed and or the resistance on the bike by turning a dial while you spin. Obviously, the higher the speed and resistance the greater the fat burning and the better the muscle toning results will be.
Unlike many fitness programs touted to provide lean muscle mass, spinning requires little equipment. Because it is a class, thus a group activity, it does require that you attend a gym, fitness center, office exercise facility or anywhere spinning classes occur. My church has recently set up spinning classes in its auditorium in conjunction three parishioners who run a fitness center and wanted to give something to the church.
