Burning Calories and Weight loss during spinning class

Posted: August 17, 2011 in Losing Weight

Indoor cycling is consider one of the top calorie burning exercises in the world.  The amount of time and energy used in a forty-five minutes session compares to not many other exercise classes.  The first class is a game breaker because a good class is a big confidence builder.  I always focus on getting the student through the first class and make adjustments to make the second class better.  Legs are the largest muscle group on the body and it takes more energy to exercise but it also burns the most calories.  It is important to fuel and hydrate your body one hour prior to class.  The average amount of calories burned during an indoor cycling is 300 to 500 depending on your weight, body fat, and food intake.  Carbohydrates like pasta or a nutritional bar is good fuel before training.  A drink with electrolytes or protein is also good before class.  The amount of classes per week and a balance diet will help burn the most calories for indoor cycling.
