Body toning

[fruitsalad]

Do you think by doing 3 or 4 spinning classes a week can tone the whole body or just legs and bum?

[Old_Geezer]

Not sure, but I think you'll end up with some good yarns to tell.

[askyourgran]

If you have vertigo ......no.

[joggerjayne]

Whole body, definitely.

[joggerjayne]

You need to maintain whole body position, movement and balance when you are spinning.

The more tired your legs get, the more your body will depend on other body parts, particularly your torso. You'll get a great tummy workout, because your abs will need to support your upper body as you spin.

What's a spinning class?

[ummmm]

Exercise bikes.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, sherrard ...

LOL

I only found that out recently ummmm - I always thought it involved burling round and I couldn't ever do it cos I get dizzy easily :)

[sherrardk]

I am so out of touch with things - had to ask someone what the hell 'half a head of highlights' was.

[AlBags]

dizzy or tizzy? ; )x

[EvianBaby]

Spinning = pure hell.

Don't be fooled into thinking it's just a normal excersise bike.

[joggerjayne]

Agree with EB.

[karenmac60]

I'm always tizzy Al - but I don't like being dizzy, makes me feel sick :(

[joggerjayne]

In a spinning class, just at the point where you want to fall off the bike and die, some spinning instructor with the face of a supermodel, the body of an Olympic sportswoman, and the hair of a Playboy bunny, and who hasn't even broken out into a sweat, will shout ...

Okay, we're going to up the intensity a bit.

And you just want to kill them!

[askyourgran]

Oh I thought spinning was what the street dancers do on their backs sort of hip-hop style. sorry

[ummmm]

I don't take part in anything that makes me want to kill people :-)

That's my excuse....

Taking a wander down to the park to feed the ducks will tone you up eventually....

[joggerjayne]

Break dancing ?

[askyourgran]

That's it.

[joggerjayne]

Fitness instructors tend to look so good that you want to kill them, even before you start the spinning class!

[Old_Geezer]

A spinning class is where they show you how to put the wool on the spinning wheel and keep it running while the thread forms on the spindle; surely.
