How to Burn 500-600 Calories in 45 Minutes


Have you ever tried a spin class?  Spinning classes are a great way to get a vigorous workout, burning anywhere between 500-600 calories, while keeping your muscles in tip top shape.  This is especially true for bikers during the off-season, however, spinning is the perfect activity for everyone!

Spinning is an effective workout and provides variety to keep your fitness program fresh!  However, you have to push yourself for maximum results.

Spinning classes are done in a fitness studio or gym, with music and dim lighting to create an atmosphere of energy.  It includes a warm-up, steady up tempo cadence, sprints, climbs and cool-down.  You are in complete control of the resistance on your bike to control how easy or difficult your level during class.
A great instructor will encourage and motivate you to push yourself, and you'll see that spinning is a great workout alternative. It's a great way to stay in shape when you can't get outside on your bike, or just to keep up your stamina and endurance as well as burning off major calories.
Spinning was created by world-class “Johnny G.” Goldberg as a convenient and quick way to train for races.  In 1989 he and John Baudhuin opened the first spinning center in Santa Monica, California and then developed a program to certify other spinning instructors.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Live Fit Live Strong!!
