Spinning benefits

As modern life progresses, it becomes more necessary to include physical exercise in our lives. And whether we have died or are very sedentary with a fairly comfortable lifestyle. Technologies allow us to do as little as possible and move without the need for physical exercise. In the last decade, gyms have improved a lot and have gained quite a bit of popularity. Although most people look for an aesthetic goal in a gym, practicing physical exercise is a habit or healthy. One of the most practiced exercises to burn those extra calories that we have in our day to day is spinning.

In this article we are going to teach all the benefits of spinning.

Spinning: aerobic or anaerobic training?

As we know, we have two types of resistance when doing an exercise. The anaerobic resistance and aerobic resistance. Spinning is an activity that is carried out in a group and is directed by a monitor. This activity is carried out through stationary bicycles and they are indifferent to the classic immobile bicycle. It has an inertia disk that means that, even if we stop pedaling, it continues to move continuously. This will help us to make pedaling something more natural. Also, we cannot get our knee stuck when we do the push exercise.

When we talk about spinning, we think of doing aerobic work. That is, use this exercise to burn calories through exercise of moderate intensity for a long time. Something similar to what it might be like to jog for a certain amount of time. However, there are spinning sessions that can have a completely demanding work at a cardiovascular level, for what could be considered anaerobic training.

Spinning can be worked in different ways depending on the objective we have. You can work cardiovascular resistance, speed training or interval work. It is a kind of exercise that is quite engaging because the one who carries it out ends up quite tired and sweats a lot. It is an exercise that is performed with high intensity music and it is quite fun and motivating. The fact of finishing your die enough gives the feeling that we have burned a lot of calories and, therefore, we are eliminating that extra fat that we have.

This type of exercise is more requested by the fact of burning calories to lose that extra fat that we have. However, there are many benefits to spinning. Benefits both for health and for our psychological environment. We are going to analyze one of the main benefits of spinning:

Has little impact on the joints

When we look for an aerobic or anaerobic exercise that lasts in time, we have to consider the fact that this exercise does not have a direct impact on the joints. Spinning has little impact so helps us benefit from a workout without our joints suffering. Its practice is recommended for those who suffer from arthritis.

Reduces the risk of injury

Anaerobic exercise

Many people worry about the fact that the gym stalls or can't keep up with the pace they did before. However, we focus on possible injuries. An injury is going to make us not improve enough. On the contrary, we will be stuck all the time and lose our progress.

Unlike running on asphalt, this low-impact exercise mode makes us less likely to be injured. In addition, as it is an exercise that has a repetitive movement pattern over time, it will make it safer than other directed classes such as aerobics.

Improves cardiovascular health

It is obvious that if we train our cardiovascular capacity we will have benefits in it. Spinning is a good way to make our hearts work in a healthier way.

Reduces stress

It is clear that if we work still high intensity and we deplete our energy reserves, it will help us reduce stress and relieve tension. This makes it quite a good option to practice it after a hard day's work. For those people who work 8 hours in the office it is a very interesting option. In our hormonal environment help reduce levels of cortisol, the hormone that controls our stress.

Helps in fat loss and increase our self-esteem

Benefits of spinning

In a spinning session we can burn many calories depending on the intensity at which we are working and how long we prolong it. It is possible to burn up to 700 calories in just one session. This interval training causes us to burn more calories during the session and also after exercise.

To burn more calories we will be helping to generate a caloric deficit that, accompanied by a diet, will help us lose fat. We must not forget that diet is the basis of fat loss. If all of our energy expenditure at the end of the day is not less than the consumption of calories through food, no matter how much spinning we do, we will not lose fat.

With regard to self-esteem, if it helps us lose fat, we will be improving our physique. This is accompanied by an increase in self-esteem by feeling good about yourself and helping you look better.

Help you sleep better

Depleting our energy reserves helps us sleep much better. In addition, during spinning, a hormone called serotonin is released, which is responsible for promoting mood. Serotonin also supports the production of melatonin, which is the hormone related to sleep. Therefore, doing a spinning session at a time more or less close to bedtime may be a good option.

Improves stamina

Thanks to continuous exercise and an intensity art helps us improve both aerobic and anaerobic resistance. We can also gain as a collateral effect an increase in toning our muscles, quadriceps, calves and glutes.

As you can see there are numerous benefits of spinning. I hope this information motivates you to do this type of exercise.
