The Sport of the Week – Spinning

Spinning (indoor cycling) is a type of fitness that offers you a varied program of exercise on a specially-built bike, all of this with musical guidance. Everybody will follow the speed of the music and can decide the intensity of the work-out for him/herself by raising or lowering resistance. In that way everybody will have the physical workout they desire. The ACLO offers spinning as an open hour with a first come first serve principle: Limited amount of space!

Informative facts:

  • Indoor cycling uses specific hand positions and five core movements. Hand positions 1, 2 and 3 are identified by the area where your hands should be placed onto the handlebar. Use a relaxed grip to avoid neck and shoulder tension. The five core movements are seated flat, seated climb, standing flat, standing climb and jumps. The different positions target different muscles.
