3 Spinning Secrets to Help Lose Belly Fat

Lower the Resistance

Lower the resistance when spinning to work harder and faster. When you increase the tempo and how much you move during spin class you’re encouraging your body to get a cardio workout that will help burn belly fat through spinning.

Spin While Fasting

Try to attend spin class first thing in morning before you’ve consumed any food. This will help increase the amount of fat burned during your spinning workout. If you attend spin class on an empty stomach your body will be forced to burn fat for energy, instead of the carbs and glycogen stores for energy.

Get Enough Sleep

Attending a spin class while tired is not only dangerous but when your body is tired it tends to be more stressed. Stress is a huge contributor to weight gain. Be sure to get enough sleep during the week so that your body isn’t tired during spin class, and you’ll find you lose more belly fat with each workout.

Be sure to drink plenty of water while you are at spin class, staying hydrated is very important! And it may seem obvious, but try not to  indulge in a sugary treat after your spin class and you’ll soon find that belly fat disappears after attending a few indoor cycling sessions. Each of us is different in how a workout will help us lose weight, but spinning burns a lot of calories in a short period which helps us lose that unwanted belly fat quicker.

Belly fat is one of those troubling areas we all struggle with losing weight from. That belly fat seems to increase with age, stress, and other factors that we put ourselves through during our day to day life. Attending a spin class to lose belly fat is possible, but must be done in combination with a solid daily diet plan of healthy food choices as well as getting adequate sleep every night.
