Does cycling (the kind in the gym) start with stovepipe or muscle gain?
The kind of riding in the gym is officially called "spinning bike", and the fat loss and muscle gain of spinning bike basically happen at the same time.

First, the origin of spinning bike

SPINNING, the English name of spinning bicycle, was initiated by American personal trainer and extreme athlete JOHNNYG in 1980s. This is a unique and dynamic indoor bicycle training course, which combines music and visual effects.

Second, the effect of spinning bike

Spinning, like all aerobic exercises, is to fully activate the body's motor cells and achieve the purpose of reducing fat while consuming energy.

Spinning requires very high physical fitness. Usually 45 minutes can consume about 500 calories, but also a lot of sweat. The body loses water quickly, so it should be replenished in time. However, losing a lot of water does not mean losing weight by "reducing water". If you wear a heart rate meter during exercise, you will clearly see that from the moment you exercise, you are completely consuming fat. During leg-centered exercise, the muscles of hips, waist, back and arms can be fully exercised, and at the same time, your cardiopulmonary function can be enhanced.

Third, it is suitable for the object.

Spinning bike, which originated in America, is full of American flavor, energy and passion, so it is favored by people aged 25-35. However, there is no age limit for this sport abroad, because its scientific design ensures the safety of participants, and the exercise intensity is completely controllable, which is suitable for all people with athletic ability. However, it is suggested that people with knee injuries should not participate in this sport, because the friction of the knee joint is very large during the whole riding process, coupled with high-intensity pressure, it is easy to form potential injuries, which will gradually be reflected in the future exercise process. Patients with heart disease and high blood pressure are also best not to participate, so as to avoid the danger of high-intensity training.

Fourth, matters needing attention

1. Before each spinning activity, you must spend some time doing enough warm-up. You can jog on the treadmill for a while, or do aerobic exercise, and then participate when your body starts to get excited. Because the body that has been almost dormant for a long time can't adapt to the sudden increase of load and strength, it is easy to get injured before the bones and muscles stretch.

2. Check whether each component is safe before getting on the bus, and pay attention to adjusting the position after getting on the bus. The most important thing is to fasten the safety lock on the pedal to avoid the danger of bumping when getting off at high speed. You should always keep your feet parallel to the ground when riding a horse.

3. Breathing on spinning bike is very important, so you should learn abdominal breathing. During abdominal breathing, the tension and relaxation of abdominal muscles occur alternately, which makes the capillaries in local muscles contract and relax alternately, accelerates blood circulation, expands the supply of oxygen, is also conducive to the discharge of metabolites, plays a role in regulating and promoting the whole body organs and tissues, and can greatly enhance lung function.

4. It is best to wear professional spinning clothes, and cotton sportswear with good elasticity can also be substituted. Sports shoes with shoelaces are the best choice, because this can firmly fix your feet on the pedal and prevent them from slipping.
