Cardio & Aerobic Exercise is also Important

Cardio and Aerobic Exercise are important along with weight and resistance training to keep the weight off, strengthen your heart and lungs and to improve your overall mental acuteness. Logging miles on the treadmill can be a bit boring, so we offer some great alternatives to keep you moving and add variety to your routine.

At BodyByGeoff we incorporate movement, or conditioning, into our personal training to give you the benefit of weight, resistance and aerobic exercise all in one workout.

You can also attend classes for cardio variety.

Introduction to Spinning

Spinning was created by world-class cyclist "Jonny G." Goldberg as a convenient and quick way to train for races. In 1989 he and John Baudhuin opened the first spinning center in Santa Monica, California.

What is it? Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. As you pedal, motivating music plays and the instructor talks you through a visualization of an outdoor cycling workout, "You're going up a long hill now, you can't see the top yet!" During the class you vary your pace, sometimes pedaling as fast as you can, other times cranking up the tension and pedaling slowly from a standing position. This helps you focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body.

Because you stay in one place with the same basic movement throughout, Spinning doesn't involve a lot of coordination; it's easier to concentrate on your form than in other types of aerobic classes. Although you follow the general instructions of the spinning instructor, you are in control of your pace. Spinning is for everyone regardless of your fitness level: you control the level of difficulty by simply adjusting your pace or the tension knob on the bike.
