Seriously, if you haven't you are missing out. It is one of the best interval training methods when you are looking for optimum fat loss results.
I prefer a spin bike to the usual exercise bike that you would find in a gym because it gives you a much smoother ride experience.
It also feels more like you are riding a real bike.
The only downside to a spin bike is that you cannot see what level you are working at so it is harder to compare your progess.
But that is a sacrfice I am willing to pay for a better workout.
I am going to be hitting my spin bike this arvo for a big interval training session.
I recently purchased a second hand one for a steal - $65 from a gym that I train some clients out of who were going through an equipment refit.
That is a steal for a Schwinn bike that granted, may have had 3 years of hard use, but it is still a lot better than the older one we used to have that was on it's last legs.
My workout today will involve me doing Tabatas on the bike - 20 seconds sprinting flat out followed by 10 seconds of recovery. This goes on for 4 minutes - 8 rounds total.
I'll be going through this for 3 rounds - 16 minutes of total work.
It is a really tough workout that really gets the heart rate going.
I use Workout Muse for my audio soundtrack. I just press play on the iPod and it tells me when to work and when to rest. I don't even have to look at the stop watch.
Seriously, this product is well worth your investment. You can find out more information by clicking here
I will be smashed afterwards but it'll be worth it.
