A Healthy Journey In An Exercise Bike

The Spinning bike was introduced to the world in the 1980s

. Initially they were created to provide training workouts during the winter months for cyclists. The normal exercise bike is housed in a heavy constructed frame. This frame has been designed to provide a solid base yet with flexibility so that it can be moved on the gym floor easily. Also, bikes can be aligned side by side or placed at random depending on the class.

There is a large wheel at the front end with a flywheel which can be adjusted. This allows for pressure or tension as required. Any adjustments can be made by turning a knob on the side of the machine. This adjusts the pressure between the wheel and pedals. On the pedals there are straps to hold the feet safely in place. The cyclist can reposition his arms due to the fact that the spin bike bar is shaped in the former of a letter W.

There are many benefits provided through spin cycling according to the experts. One of them of course is the fact that one does not have to be concerned about bad weather, and can in fact ride-exercise 24 by 7. Another prime benefit of this sport is that it affords a low-impact style of exercise which is easy on the body.

Unlike many other sports such as running jogging etc., one's joints are not overly stressed. The cardiovascular effect is excellent and to the mind of most exercise conscious individuals, puts the spinning bike at the top of effective exercise equipment. Indeed, considering that the muscle groups are worked concurrently, you can get a full body workout. It is said that a spinning bike will enable you to burn off the fat at the rate of several hundred calories per hour!

You won't find as a rule your spin bike offering much in the way of comfortable features. They are usually very basic. The basics of the sport are easy to master and one can progress very quickly -- indeed if you are gifted and hard-working you could even reach professional standard if you wished. A question that is often asked is how does one keep one's mind focused and unclouded by tedium? The answer usually given is to take your MP3 player along to the sessions. You will then have an opportunity to listen to music, an audio book, or even learn that language you promised yourself -- Italian, Spanish, French etc. Why not exercise your brain -- after all it is part of your body!

If you enjoyed bike riding as a child there is no reason why you cannot get the same exhilarating feeling, sense of accomplishment and improved well being as an adult with regular spin bike exercise. It is not costly to start; you could treat yourself to a water bottle or a nicely padded seat, which is a gel pad that slides over the saddle, or a useful moisture - wicking sports top.

There are numerous spinning bike clubs and associations around today. So you have no reasons to not get started straight away. A quick surf on the Internet will be helpful. Your constant motivation will come from the boost in fitness and fun you will receive from this great sport.
