Spin
Short description:
It’s no surprise that this demanding class has steadily increased in popularity over the last several years. Spin is an intense way to tone your physique and support cardiovascular health.
Long description:
Spinning, or indoor cycling, is a high-intensity cardiovascular workout class that involves cycling on a stationary bike that has a weighted flywheel on the pedals. The addition of the weighted flywheel makes spinning more challenging than riding on a normal stationary bike.
A typical spin class lasts anywhere between 30 and 75 minutes. Throughout the class, the instructor will call out different settings, in which students must change their positioning (from sitting to standing) or adjust their speed and/or resistance.

Expect a high-energy, upbeat atmosphere in which students are really challenging themselves physically. We encourage you to push yourself to your own max. Still, each participant controls their own intensity and resistance, so you can design a personalized workout that suits your ability level.
What should I wear to spin class?
Generally, spin class attendees dress in cycling attire (fitted shorts and shirts/tanks). Many students prefer wearing padding cycling shorts for additional cushion against bike seats. You may also benefit from cycling-specific shoes that offer appropriate support while pedaling.
Do I need to bring equipment to class?
Studio cycling classes offer all the equipment you need beyond your body and attire. However, students may bring towels to mop up sweat and water bottles because you’ll definitely work up a sweat.
How many calories will I burn during spin class?
Spinning is a high-intensity workout that maximizes calorie burn. The precise amount of calories burned depends on each participant’s unique physical makeup. However, experts calculate an average energy expenditure between 400 and 600 calories per

This choreographed workout is a great choice for those wanting to enhance balance and coordination and achieve a leaner, toner physique.
Long Description:
While Barre is inspired by many of the choreographed moves used by ballerinas, this class is so much more. Barre classes incorporate a ballet barre in addition to traditional moves like pliés and pirouettes. However, this fitness class also includes moves typically associated with yoga and Pilates.
The foundation of barre is isometric exercise, which is a type of physical activity that involves tiny movements that contract your muscles to activate and strengthen them. This is unlike larger, compound movements like sit-ups or shoulder presses. Imagine squatting with both knees turned in opposite directions away from the middle body. Contracting slightly up or down in this position can seriously tone the glutes and quads—but there has been no large-scale movement.
Since little to no impact is involved and a full range of motion is not required, barre is a great choice for people of all ages and ability levels.
Health Benefits of
If you throw a ball with a lot of spin the ball will create air resistance (drag) then the ball will curve or slide as the ball reaches the plate and causes the batter to swing. This is because the faster moving air below the ball creates a smaller amount of pressure, which forces the ball to dive or break.
A major threat to the business is the fact that UW-‐Oshkosh students already pay for a gym membership that is included in their tuition. It is important that we do everything possible to promote Planet Fitness and draw this group in. We will minimize this threat by offering student discounts and gearing our promotions towards the younger demographic.
I had always had an odd passion for working out, even before I became a weightlifter. I endured years of volleyball conditions, all of which left me sprawled across the floor, drenched in sweat; however, I never complained. My muscles quivered, my heart raced, my lungs pressed against my ribs, and my body collapsed; but my mind was determined. However, I found myself alone in this sentiment.

Vertigo is a classification under dizziness that results in a spinning sensation or illusion of movement. (Many people who experience dizzy sensations often do not have vertigo, but instead, are found to have the common lightheadedness). Vertigo arises from disturbances in the vestibular system or neural structures such as the cerebellum, the brain stem, and the proprioceptive fibers along the spine.

Necessity turned out to be the mother of invention. In a short period of time, Mabel, the first black superstar skater in the history of the United States, came up with the new variations of basic spin. They were so gorgeous! She was the star of the shows at British West Indies with the famous Ice Follies, and in Mexico with the Ice Capades. The only sad thing is that the spins she invented have never been called anything more than just spin's variations. If it were for me, I'd call them Fairbanks spins.

A recreation center is essentially a gathering of many workout machines; the equipment is the focus of the recreation center. It is good practice to support the heavy equipment in the rec center so that no one gets injured through their use. When you become a member of the student recreation center there are rules for your safety and for proper use of the equipment that you must follow. You must wear proper clothing that protects yourself and the equipment, you must have closed toed shoes, and you must always wear a shirt (during basketball games there is an exception). You may not wear jeans due to its tendency to tear the equipment fabric. Proper use of the safety features built-in to the equipment and your common sense are a necessary pre-requisite ...
I had said before that “Some quotable quotes in the first two weeks of dance class were me to “my arms hurt”, “my legs hurt”, and “I feel like goo”.” I have found that this class has actually helped encourage me to work out on my own. This has had favorable results as I feel I have improved physically. While I don’t think that I will be pursuing dance as a career, I think I am ready to continue on to other forms of dance for the remainder of my education here at CSU. I expect the other classes to be more technically demanding, but I have a feeling this one will have been the most physically demanding. “I feel my entire body engaged…” I wrote this after we first started the forward/backward crescent movement exercise, before we added the pleats in first and second position.
