With a long, snowy winter underway has come a return to indoor exercise which for me means more challenging sessions lifting weights, instructing a few new classes at our gym and more classes on the spin bike. If you are curious about spinning indoors, this post is for you! The easiest and most accessible option is to ride at home. I used to place my road bike on a trainer (aka rollers), hit play on the VCR and ride until boredom seized me. But companies like Zwift and Peloton have changed the home riding game. You can now ride from home with an online trainer, group and team and compete against others in real time. Sounds pretty cool huh? The next option for riding indoors is to head to a gym or spin studio and sample one of the many group classes offered. I personally teach both Stages and Les Mills RPM but there are literally hundreds available. Stages, for example, is great for those who are data driven and goal oriented whereas Les Mills seems to attract people who like sound, fun music in a more lighthearted atmosphere. And of course, there is always the option to head to the gym and spin on your own. You can do your own workout on your phone, listen to books or music, or watch the lates episode of Last of Us. It may take time to sort out which option is right for you. If you try a class and hate it, try another. There is truly something for almost everyone who is interested in keeping their cycling fitness up to speed. All you need to do is show up and be open to whatever comes your way. Time to level up your fitness and discover the next level version of you!
