SPINNING® is a non-impact cardiovascular workout that takes place on a special Schwinn stationary bike. It is a group exercise program in which participants work at their individual fitness levels using Polar Heart Rate Monitors to regulate appropriate intensity. The Spinning program concept incorporates the mind/body connection and visualization, leaving riders with a great sense of accomplishment. It does not require a lot of coordination and is appropriate for men and women of all ages and abilities.
Endurance Spin
Participants will train their body to be more efficient at metabolizing fat and maintaining a steady state of training, for sometimes extended periods of time. Heart rate training will be between 65-75% of max. Increased pedaling efficiency and aerobic capacity are the main focus of this class.
Strength
Heavier resistance during this class will help develop muscular endurance and power! Heart rates will stay between 75-85% of maximum. The goal of this class is to build cardiovascular strength to handle a slightly uncomfortable pace. The heart rates straddle the aerobic/anaerobic energy zones, switching from one system to another!
