What is the difference between a Spinercise class and a Spin & Tone class?
Trying to figure out which one I should take. Would like to get rid of the jiggles :), especially my stomach.



Answer
I think they're very similar. I do the Spin & Tone.

Spinning, or studio cycling, is an excellent exercise to strengthen your heart and tone your legs. Classes consist of anywhere from a half dozen to 20 participants perched atop special stationary bikes. The instructor then takes the class on a "ride" that includes sprints, hill climbs, and other fun exercises like intervals and circuits. Classes are usually 45 to 50 minutes long and are set to music. Aside from the group energy, one of the things that makes spin classes so much better than regular stationary cycling is the bikes themselves. Spinning bikes are equipped with a weighted flywheel in the front that picks up speed as you pedal, and the seats and handlebars are adjustable, so you feel like you're riding on a real bike. There's a knob below the handlebars that allows you to adjust the tension, making pedaling easier or harder, as you ride down flat roads, up mountain sides, and down hills.

Spinning is very popular, especially among people who don't care for traditional exercise classes. There are no complicated dance moves to follow, and since you control your bike's tension, you can stay within a comfortable exercise zone for your fitness level, while still feeling like you're "keeping up" with the class. Unlike actual cycling, there are no worries about lagging behind the pack. Everyone finishes together. And everyone gets a great workout. Spinning scorches about 7.2 to 13.6 calories per minute, or about 500 calories per class. All that pedaling is also a great leg shaper, as it tones your glutes, thighs, and calves.

Is spinning a good exercise to loose weight after having a baby?

Actually Iwonder which exercise works for entire bady weight loose. i heard Spinning works most on the legs and not an entire body, esp, not at all on abs? is it true? I am trying to loose my baby fat and wonder which cardio exercise is the best?


Answer
Any sort of aerobic exercise is good. Even walking with the baby in the stroller. As far as the uncomfortable seat, it depends on the manufacturer of the bike on the comfort factor. You can also buy padded bicycle shorts which help quite a bit also.
