Questions about spinning, yoga and weight training
I go to spinning class for 1 hour 5 days a week with my husband. We have grown to love that class. I also go to weight lifting classes twice a week for an hour a session. 'The lifting classes are both upper and lower body. I am starting yoga up to three times a week for flexibility. I know a little about cardio, etc. and know spinning is mainly cardio. Are there any strength training components to spinning? My quads are definitely harder. Also, I like the yoga but don't know the benefits except stretching and flexibility. Do you all have any general opinions about this? What about the weight training. I like going to the classes for the structure, camaraderie and it helps me with discipline. I don't know much about the mechanics of strength training, though. I particularly like the squats with the dumbbells because it makes me look tough. I belong to 24 Hour Fitness. Any ideas, information or suggestions? Thanks, guys.
It sounds to me like you have a well rounded routine down. The spinning is great cardio, the weight training will tone you up as well as burning calories and the yoga will keep you grounded and limber. I can't think of anything that I can add to your pretty complete workout routine.
