An hour-long session burns about 600 calories. It, however, is very beneficial to a person for those who suffer from the conditions below:

1. For diabetics

Spinning increases the ability of your muscles to take up glucose. It makes your muscles and liver cells sensitive to insulin, thereby lowering your blood glucose.

Doctors recommend a 30-minute workout incorporated with weight training for maximum benefits. For type 2 diabetes spinning, it lowers the risks of diabetes-related kidney and eye disease.

2. For arthritis and joint pains

Cycling is a low impact workout meaning it is easy on your joints. This is good for patients with arthritis or other orthopedic injuries and can be used to boost mood and lift your energy levels.

It also builds your leg muscle making it easier to support your knee joints and improve balance which is a big problem for advance arthritic patients.

3. For the cardiovascular health

One hour of cycle class triggers the release of chemicals in the blood that is associated with lowering the rate of heart stress.
