Aerobic classes are a very popular way to loose fat, get in shape and meet new friends.
Aerobics are also a great way to increase your endurance, strength and overall fitness level.
Many fitness centers in Edmonton offer “FREE” Aerobics classes when you join. These classes
are designed to be fun, energetic, and motivating.
What is Aerobics?
Quite simply, aerobics is any activity that keeps your body continuously moving with an elevated
heart rate. Running, skipping, biking are all examples of aerobic activities.
What are some of the different types of Aerobics Classes in Edmonton?
Group Aerobics are any type of class that is designed to raise your heart rate and
keep it high for extended period of time(usually 45 mins to 1 hour). These classes
are designed to increase your cardiovascular endurance, while getting you into your fat burning

Spin Classes in Edmonton

Many fitness centers in Edmonton feature spin classes. These classes range from 45 minutes to 1 hour and are developed for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
What is a spin class?
A spin class is an indoor cycling program that is ideal for anyone that wants to improve their cardiovascular fitness while getting in shape. Spin classes are designed for anyone and everyone who are able to sit on a stationary bike and peddle. The spin bikes are very easy to use and don’t require any extra equipment to get started. Spin classes are great for loosing weight, burning fat, increasing your endurance and improving your cardiovascular fitness.
Here’s a video on Spinning:
What if i can’t keep up with the other riders in my spin class?
The great thing about spin classes is that you adjust your own difficult level right on your spin bike. These bikes use resistance to make it your workout as easy or as hard as you want. For your first few spin classes I recommend keeping a steady pace until your body gets used to the workout and then you can increase the resistance in your bike as you see fit. The spin class instructors are great at helping to motivate you to increase the resistance and helping you burn those excess calories.
How often should I go to a spin class?
Attending a spin class at your local health club 1-3 times a week is great for those who want to loose fat, burn calories and feel better.
Spin classes sound boring:
I have to agree. Sitting on a bike peddling for 45 minutes does sound boring but spin classes are designed to be fun, motivating and energetic. Spin class instructors design their programs around a soundtrack that is upbeat and energetic, which keeps the class focused. You can go to any gym and sit on a stationary bike for 45 mins and have an OK workout, or you can attend a spin class that is motivating and challenging.
Where can I find a spin class in Edmonton Alberta?
If your interested in getting in shape, meeting new friends and having fun at the same time a spin class is for you. Many of the facilities that have other group exercise classes such as step classes also have spin classes running daily.
