Among these classes, Spinning stands out, a sport that has attracted more and more fans? be men, be women? all over Brazil. And why is all this success? Below is the answer to this and all other questions about physical activity:

What is Spinning?

Gilberto Ambrogi, professor at the Bio Ritmo Academy, points out that Spinning is a group gymnastics exercise that simulates cycling training, using stationary bikes, music and heart rate as tools.

A very positive point of Spinning classes is that the student can have the load and intensity control adjusted to their needs. That's because, the bikes? which are fit for practice? allow for this change in load and speed, as well as trunk lift (the handlebar allows different levels of grip).

Benefits

• Gilberto Ambrogi points out that one of the main benefits of Spinning is the high calorie expenditure. "It is possible to burn 400 to 800 calories, depending on the characteristics of the practitioner (gender, age, weight and physical condition) and the intensity of the class," he explains.
• The Bio Rhythm professor adds that Spinning improves cardiovascular capacity.
• Gilberto also explains that the classes improve the tone of the legs and buttocks.
• Spinning classes are quite enjoyable, especially due to the choice of songs.

The Importance of Music in Spinning Class

Gilberto Ambrogi explains that the choice of songs during class gives the student a clear reference of the intensity and type of terrain to be simulated at that moment (level / rise).

? In addition, the soundtrack has strong motivational appeal and it is up to the teacher to make use of this tool to conquer his target audience ?, highlights the teacher.

Who can practice Spinning?

Gilberto explains that anyone who can ride can take Spinning classes. "The absence of impact, the intensity that can be individualized and the small amplitude of the joints involved allow their practice by people who were often advised against practicing other physical activities," he says.

But overall, the orientation is the same. Before starting any regular physical activity, it is essential to consult a doctor.

How many Spinning classes to practice per week?

Gilberto Ambrogi explains that when there is a periodization of classes, the person can practice spinning daily, respecting at least one day of weekly rest.

Periodization is the schedule of classes. There are "mountain" sessions where students must work hard to work their leg muscles; others that prioritize fat loss; and interval workouts, which are designed for students to gain strength and improve fitness.

"In gyms where there is no periodization, usually all classes are very intense and, therefore, it is not advisable to practice daily," says Professor Gilberto. Check out the video below for a spinning class at the gym:

Important Tips for Spinning Practice

• Before starting the activity, adjust the seat and the handlebar height of the bike, always according to the teacher's instructions;
• Always have a hand washcloth, even to prevent your hands from slipping on the handlebar;
• Take a small bottle of water and hydrate yourself during class;
• Try to use frequency often during class. This device is used to monitor your heart rate, making it easier for you to burn fat.

Spinning X Jump

In addition to Spinning, Jump classes also stand out in gyms around the country. But ultimately, which one offers the most benefits?

Gilberto explains that Jump has the advantage of impact, which helps in calcium retention, and the intensity of classes, which leads to a large caloric expenditure. "Spinning, in turn, when periodized, can be practiced every day and is a gentle activity to the joints and muscles of the body," he says.

Still according to the teacher, there is no better or worse activity."I would even say that the combined practice of these activities during the week could bring even greater benefits to women," concludes Gilberto Ambrogi.
