Howdy!
How are you today? Did you have a nice Tuesday?
On Monday morning, I went to one of the toughest group cycling classes of my life at 5:45am! I'm an early bird, but that was really EARLY! The class was absolutely amazing, and I was sweating buckets by the end. The instructor was very motivating, and I can't wait to take his class again in the future.

I used to teach group cycling classes all the time, but I haven't taught or taken as many over the past year due to my running schedule and gyms needing me to teach other formats. I think I forgot how much I liked it and what a killer workout it is. I burned 750 calories in a 60 minute class. Talk about an effective workout!! In addition to the mega calorie burn, there are many other benefits of indoor cycling.
Indoor cycling:
- Increases your lung strength and capacity.
- Decreases your risk for heart disease.
- Increases lower body strength. Cycling is a killer workout for your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps!
- Improves sleep patterns.
- Improves energy levels.
- Improves cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Aids in weight loss efforts.
- Is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety!

In the class I took, we rode the new Keiser bikes. I usually ride on Schwinn bikes, which I love, but the Keiser bikes were great! They provided such a smooth ride and had an extremely comfy seat! I was definitely a fan.
Alright folks, I'm off to finish some homework and head into work. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Q's and A's:
Do you take indoor cycling classes?
What is your favorite group exercise class? My heart will always belong to step, but I love them all!
In health,
