is using indoor cycle trainers as good as going to spinning class?

frankfarte

if so, what kind of trainer should i get that will simulate going to spin class?
are you able to adjust the tention as if you are going down a hill( very fast) or up a hill( very tough/slow)?

what brand/ type would be the best for this, i consider myself intermediate. i am looking for the trainers you attatch to the back wheel of your regular bike, not a stationary bike.

thanks

Answer
The big differences of spin class bikes vs a trainer stand:
- spin bikes have that heavy flywheel that simulates the mass of your entire body; this tends to "smooth out" your pedaling effort. On a trainer stand, there's hardly any flywheel so your pedaling feels (is) much "jerk-ier" which really bugs me. It may not bug you as much.

- On a trainer stand, you're on your actual regular bike that fits you the way you're used to. On a spin bike, even though it's adjustable, it's never quite exactly the same. This may or may not make any difference to training, but it does bug me.

- In a spin class, you have the instructor yelling, everyone else working hard, loud music, it's really motivational and the time goes by fast. On a trainer stand, it's just you and your tunes and the clock, and if you start slacking off nobody will know. Plus psychologically, it's harder for me to really push myself for more than a few minutes riding solo on the traininer, but in a 60 minute spin class I can hammer the whole time.

- Tension / resistance: really depends on the equipment. Some spin bikes I've been on I can crank it all the way down and still not have it be hard enough. Others, if I crank it down a few turns I can't even move the pedals. On a trainer stand, you have the bike's gears, plus some models have a resistance setting. But the big problem is if your tire slips on the roller. Generally, strong riders complain they can't make it as difficult as a good spin bike or being on the road. For an intermediate rider, any good trainer stand should be hard enough.

Finally, how much can you spend? You can buy for-real spin bikes if you have the $. Figure a used one in the $500-$1000 range, new is up to $2k. Check with the used fitness equipment stores.

Oh, and always use a fan blowing air over you, trust me you'll be able to push harder and get a better workout.

Cyclist do you believe Spinning can imitate a true ride experience?

KidFromBro

If so what are the key things that make this idea? Music? Program? Instructor with cycling experience? Or other?

Answer
I DO believe that some types of spinning are great substitutes for actual riding. I am a triathlete and train about 5 days a weeks on the bike. On the days that i do long extended intervals(10 to 12 min) i like to do this on the trainer because i can up the drag on my trainer to make it harder on my body as well as get in an uninterrupted long interval in. I find that when i try to do intervals on the road something is always going wrong. Flats, having to stop for traffic(which ruins that part of the workout entirely), not having enough daylight....... whatever the situation i can always complete my interval rides on my trainer uninterrupted.

Now for long rides..... You need to do those on the open road to get used to dealing with the weather conditions like wind, and turning, or riding with a group, and holding a steady pace while staying in a straight line.

In the winter time all i do i run on the raods and spin on my trainer. And in early spring when i am trying to get ready for those early road races and individual time trial events, I am on my trainer quite a bit. I love the trainer for high intenity workouts. like intervals or power sprints or even just putting that baby on a high friction level and just grinding for and hour or so.

But when it comes to developing road racing skills like pack riding and the brains to race with higher level cyclists...... the trainer is no comparison for the open road.

Use you trainer for what it is .... A trainer...... not for the entire sport of cycling. Intervals, or your off day slow easy rides are what i find the trainer best suited for.

Good luck and have fun. But remember to get outside some and learn how to develop cycling abilities the trainer cannot develop for you.

What is the difference between a Spinercise class and a Spin & Tone class?

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.
