@theGym SPINATHON - Charity CYCLE Special! Saturday 8th March 2025

@theGym CYCLE Classes by Becky for NICU Southmead

A spin class is a high-energy indoor cycling workout that typically lasts 45–60 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Intense Cardio Workout

• Expect to get your heart rate up with fast-paced cycling and resistance changes.
• It’s a great way to burn calories and improve endurance.

2. Motivating Atmosphere

• Loud, upbeat music keeps you moving.
• The instructor will guide you through intervals, hills, sprints, and recovery periods.

3. Stationary Bike Setup

• You'll ride a stationary bike with adjustable resistance.
• The instructor (Becky) may help you adjust your seat and handlebars for comfort.

4. Strength & Endurance Challenges

• Some classes incorporate upper body movements.
• Resistance changes mimic outdoor terrain (climbs, flat roads, sprints).

5. Lots of Sweat!

• Bring water and a towel—it’s an intense workout!

6. Encouragement & Community

• Classes are often filled with people of different fitness levels.
• Expect encouragement from the instructor and fellow riders.

7. Low-Impact but High-Intensity

• Spinning is easier on the joints than running but still a killer workout.

Tips:
✅ Wear moisture-wicking clothes and padded bike shorts if possible.
✅ Bring plenty of water.
✅ Don’t be afraid to go at your own pace—adjust resistance as needed.
