How to use an Indoor Cycling Trainer and a Spin® Bike

Once adjusted for your personal use indoor training cycles and spin® bikes are relatively simple to use.  Indoor cycling trainers and Spin® bikes are both very similar in that they generally all have a resistance dial on the crossbar, which can be dialed up to a level that is either comfortable to you,  or dialed up to achieve a higher level of exercise . The terms spin, spinning and spinner are in fact registered trademarks for particular bikes whereas indoor cycling trainer is a generic term referring to all indoor training bikes.

An indoor cycling trainer employs resistance to increase or decrease the workload. Turn it to clockwise direction to increase the resistances, which makes it harder to pedal, and turning anticlockwise direction will decrease the resistance. After few minutes of warm-up, you should be sweating  a little and your heart rate should be up – this means you are ready to have a heavy workout.

A variety of moves are employed on an indoor training bike including short periods of sprinting, pedaling as fast and hard as you can, then increasing the resistance, all the time turning up the resistance a notch, before slowing down again and allowing your body to recover.

A typical organized group spinning® session will also include some workouts where you pedal standing upright on your bike, as you would when climbing a steep hill on a real bike. Your shoulders should remain relatively still and you should tense your abdominal muscles to help support your back.

Finally, the workouts should end with stretching to cool down the body and keep the muscles goups nice and long rather than allowing them to cool down too quickly.

Spinning® sessions are really good workout for burning fat. 500 calories of fats can be burned in an hour, depending on the intensity of your own workout as you can control the resistance dial to control the intensity of your workout. The quadriceps, calf muscles, abdominals, hamstrings, glutes, biceps and triceps are the muscles, all get a big benefit from exercising on a spin bike.
