Spin Cycling / Burning Calories

Spinning classes are high-energy group workout classes performed on a type of stationary bicycle. There is usually lively music playing and an instructor who leads the class through exercises and movements on the bike. Spinning earned the top spot on a "Fitness" 10 best calorie-burning exercises list, zapping 425 calories in 30 minutes. Along with burning calories, spinning will increase the lean muscle mass in your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and calves, which will help to kick your metabolism into high gear. And spinning is low-impact, so if you have joint issues or other problems that become exacerbated by activities such as running, spinning may be for you.
