    spin class....

    How accurate do you think the calorie tracker on the bikes are?

    It claims only 200 or sooo....but I can burn 200 real quick on an eliptical in 20 minutes!!

    Hard to believe an hour of sweat dripping intense full body spinning is soo little?!?

    It's probably the best cardio work out I get in...I just started and love it!!

    My gf luvs it, never understood the idea of 20 people sweating and farting in closed room doing stand still cycling.

    When i want to cycle i grab a real bycicle and ride for a couple of hours, the air is much fresher.

    Dont know about the calories

    Typical average is closer to 500 cal. Higher for larger guys. I figure 400 per hour for myself.

    Love it. Best cardio I have found in gym!

    I also have started to like it alot...some instructors are way better especially when they get into upper body alot....

    I searched spin on my app I use to track food and work outs.....when I put in 60 minutes spin it came up with 750 calories off the bat....

    I just know I can burn 400 maybe 500 in an hour of running.....and spin is alot better sweat...so the 200 cant be right...

    Been doing "hip hop spin"

    The instructor was saying it burns 700 to 1000 calories....Pretty intense!!
