Spin Your Way to a Stronger Routine: Why People Who Strength Train Should Try a Spin Class at BHAC

If your workout routine focuses on lifting weights, cardio may not be at the top of your list. But the right kind of cardio does more than burn calories. It can support your strength goals by improving endurance, aiding recovery, and boosting overall performance. That is where spinning comes in.

At Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs, our Wellesley and Brighton gyms offer energizing spinning classes designed to complement, not detract from, strength training. If you train at our Wellesley gym or are looking for convenient spinning classes on Comm Ave, cycling could be the perfect way to enhance your routine. And the best part is that spinning classes are included with your monthly membership.

Why Add Spinning to a Strength-Focused Routine

Indoor cycling is a joint-friendly form of cardio that supports heart health and athletic performance. For people who strength train, spinning can:

• Improve stamina and energy levels during workouts• Build muscular endurance in the legs and core• Support fat loss while preserving lean muscle• Enhance recovery by increasing blood flow and reducing soreness• Burn calories efficiently without adding stress to the joints

Since you control both the pace and the resistance, spinning adjusts to your needs. You can use it for light recovery or challenge yourself with intense interval work, depending on the day.

Tips for People Who Strength Train and Want to Try Spinning

1. Plan Around Your Lifting ScheduleUse spinning for active recovery on rest days or keep the intensity lower if you are adding it after a strength workout.

2. Prioritize Resistance Over SpeedThink of resistance like the weight you lift. A slower pedal against heavier resistance will benefit your legs more than spinning fast with no tension.

3. Stay HydratedSpinning will make you sweat. Bring a water bottle and drink throughout class to stay hydrated and perform your best.

4. Recover After ClassJust like lifting, proper recovery is essential. Replenish your energy with a mix of protein and carbs to support your muscle recovery.
