Gazzan Posted August 11, 2014 Share I travel for work and probably do 3-4 VA classes per week. It's good for overall fitness and convenience but I find that if I only spin for a few weeks then get back on the MTB then I lack power and suffer on steep hills.

Cargyrl Posted August 11, 2014 Share Spinning great cardio, bad strenght training.1 or 2 a week, with further weight training afterwards.Early Mornings, road bike on indoor tacx trainer, focus to power output and cadence. Rob K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleatsnCleavage Posted August 11, 2014 Share Spin classes once or twice a week at VA. However the 45 minute classes are too short and not enough 90min classes at suitable times for me. But I find it helps with my fitness, I recover faster at the top of my climbs when I am spinning. Better to spin than not cycle at all. ALso more engaging and entertaining than sitting at home on the IDT. So I mix it up, spinning, outdoor training and IDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazmo Posted August 12, 2014 Share I spin at gym in the week at night, when I cannot ride.I also crank a bit higher than the instructor. Its boring, and i dont enjoy it really, but much better than sitting on the couch. Fadhl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted August 14, 2014 Share Once I started winning the spin classes I stopped going. Now I go and suffer away on the watt bikes in Virgin. Find with a proper interval workout I feel proper brocken afterwards. nazmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazmo Posted August 29, 2014 Share There's no watt bikes at KC too local probably.I find intervals on a spin bike, one hour worth makes you feel as if you did a 3 hour road ride. Can actually be an awesome workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help.Me. Posted August 29, 2014 Share IDT at home doing heart rate program just something i experienced : i have being on a spinning program for quite some time now 12 weeks. After the TB i took on weeks rest and then i started this week with the beginners level on the spinning program. I was not able to do everything ,it felt if i only started with the program!!!! Never ever did one session felt if i was getting fitter ?? What could be wrong?? Sorry for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyC Posted August 29, 2014 Share I work rotations away from home and am away a few weeks at a time, at work I Spin one day and do weights the next for the week and rest on Sunday and I do a lot of races with no issues, its great and if done right its very beneficial.I also use pre recorded spinning classes from Youtube so its like being in a spinning class back home.it obviously doesnt beat being on the trail but its a great alternative.
