I wouldn't want to miss a Spinning class for the world. Whenever I feel the need to exercise but feeling reluctant to do so, I would just join any two of my favourite group fitness classes namely spin & body pump in the local gym here. I would just let my body to go with the flow and before I realise, it's all over for a good 45 minutes workout on a stationary cycle in the spinning/cycling class. My usual time is on Tuesday morning in the 7:15 - 8:00 am class and also on Thursday evening in another form of more intensive spinning class called RPM. This class is taunted as Taking the ultimate ride! that combines cycling, choreography and cycling techniques that give aerobic and anaerobic adrenaline ride of a music driven group exercise. Under the guidance of an Instructor I experience slow climbs, fast climbs, short sprints, fast sprints and recovery spins as if I am in the pack in the Tour de France or Tour de Langkawi back home. The variation of speeds are made possible with adjustable resistance on the stationary cycle. I could burn up to 900 calories in a class which is needless to say, great for fat burning and general body toning. You see, I like to eat dairy products like fresh & full cream milk, eggs and chicken with skin on and that's one reason i need to exercise. I could tolerate low fat margarine & have been reducing intake of commercial products such as biscuits,chips, pastris, cakes & muffins but I cannot miss my 'nasi' at least once a day intake during dinner. I also do not forget to fill up on my fruit & vege but most of the time are bananas, salads and cucumbers. In short, i just can't stick to a low fat diet and getting into exercise is the only way forward for me to be fit and healthy. After all, I enjoy sweating profusely to get me going for the week.
