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.

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.
I am falling in love with this exercise. Not only I am feeling healthier every time, but also I feel stronger and happier. The most wonderful fact is that my thighs harder than before! I wanted to study more about this exercise and gets the most benefit out of it. Thus, I decide to look into more about this exercise and figure out how effectively I can participate to get the most out of it.

...hat the facilities are at best decent and nothing relatively superior, is for the use of a gym that isn’t over crowded, and filled with like-minded individuals of the same age and race. My research methods such as an inductive method including participant-observation allowed me to observe the members and how they interacted amongst each other. Most of what I learned came from the women’s locker room, where many of them felt as ease as they discussed diets, workouts, and health issues. The one aspect that did change after using the facilities was that the price included within the membership was not for high end machines, or for state of the art locker rooms with luxurious amenities. The price is paid to be part of a network of older individuals, with like-minded ideas of staying fit for the sake of being healthy, and to work out in a crowd-free, judgment free area.

They can provide one heck of a cardio workout. They have built in weights and some brands have weights that can be added or removed to help work out the muscles in your arms and upper body.
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.
When executing the turn outs of most of the warm ups, my hips were not square to the barre, but would move in the direction of whichever foot was turned out. Squareness is being able to keep the shoulders and pelvis on the same plane. This provides aids in stability when standing on one leg and gesturing with another. During the combination I found that my squareness was decent most of the time, except when I did the flaps after the Suzie Qs. Neither my hips or my shoulder were on the same plane. This would also occur during the transition from the combination on the left to the right and the two back essences at the end. I would find myself unsure of how to transition from one back essence to another and that lead to my pelvis and shoulders no longer being aligned and I would lose my balance. Squareness of the body enhances weight shifting and I believe that as I continue to progress one of my first steps in fixing my efficient weight shifting is to begin with mindfulness where my hips and pelvis are in relation to the plane that I am on.

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.
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.
Cycling is a exercise that requires a lot of oxygen for the physiological balance between the energy used, therefore it is able to strength the heart, prevent high blood pressure. This exercise is known to be more effective then medication, because during the process of cycling it compress the blood vessels, speeding up the bloodstream, increasing the amount of oxygen in the brain, The inhaling of fresh air is able to make our brains more clear in making decision and feel a since of freedom in
The word “Zumba” derives from a Spanish word meaning “buzz like a bee and move fast.” It’s also Columbian slang for “fast.” With this Zumba phenomenon, over 6 million participants take classes each week. This Latin-style dance class – which includes salsa, meringue, cha-cha, cumbia and salsa – is fused with hip-hop and reggae, as well as other global styles of dance like belly dancing, flamenco, Bollywood and African. The variety of culture integrated in this dance form creates a better and more fun atmosphere for the people doing it.
