Cycling VS Spinning Class

Stradalli Cycle Full Carbon Road Bike

The debate continues, is it better to get a full carbon road bike from Stradalli Cycle or simply join a spinning class? It is well known that cycling is one of the best activities you can have because it counts as high impact cardio but the question is which is better, actually getting out on your bike or taking an indoor class? Here are a few things to take into consideration:

What you need to know about cycling:

·         The Negative: Of course with cycling you have the issues of dealing with inclement weather as well as needing to have more gear. Bike shorts, helmets, spare tubes (and know how to change them) are all a necessity. Spinning class allows you to go whenever you want and less gear is required.

·         The Pros: There is no denying you get more of a workout from cycling outdoors. In spinning class if you want to do ten miles the majority of the time your mind quits before your body because you know that you can quit any time you want. In cycling you are enjoying it more because you are outside and you get to see the world. So mentally you are more focused on the ride and less focused on the actual workout. This is why cycling creates far better workouts than spinning class, not to mention a much more enjoyable experience.

Different experiences:

·         Cycling is a recreational activity you can either incorporate into your weekend or center your entire weekend around depending on where you live. You can check out trails at local parks, drive to another town over the weekend and enjoy it’s cycling experiences; join local events and much more.

·         Spinning classes are just spinning classes, they don’t change, they give you a good workout but again you are doing the same thing and experiencing the same thing each time.

Food for thought:

There is a way you can get the best of both worlds. Rather than take a spinning class you can purchase a full carbon road bike on sale right now at Stradalli Cycle and then purchase a bicycle trainer (stationary bike stand) online as well.

This works great because if the weather is bad you can still get your workout in and when the conditions are right you can unhook your bike from the trainer and go out for a ride. So if you sign up for spinning class or purchase a stationary bicycle you are stuck inside all the time. If you buy a Stradalli Cycle full carbon road bike you can use it whenever you want and turn your workout into an adventure.
