Sisäpyöräily

Sisäpyöräily, also known as indoor cycling or spinning, is a form of exercise performed on stationary bicycles. It is a group fitness class, though it can also be done individually. The classes are typically led by an instructor who guides participants through various terrains and intensities, mimicking outdoor cycling. Participants can adjust the resistance on their bikes to control the difficulty of their workout.

The exercise provides a cardiovascular workout, improving heart health and stamina. It also engages muscles in the legs, glutes, and core. Due to the stationary nature of the bikes and the controlled environment, it is a low-impact activity, making it accessible to individuals of varying fitness levels and those with joint issues.

Sisäpyöräily classes often incorporate music to set the pace and motivate participants. The atmosphere is usually energetic and social. Instructors may encourage participants to stand on the pedals, increase resistance, or adjust their cadence to simulate uphill climbs, sprints, and recovery periods. The duration of a typical class is between 30 to 60 minutes. It is a popular form of exercise in gyms and fitness studios worldwide.
