We here at Fota Island Resort are thrilled to announce the launch of our new spinning classes.What exactly is spinning you may ask? Well I am here to explain the new class that will have you in tip top shape this summer. Spinning is a popular group class. According to Ivillage health.com Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called a spinning bike. As you pedal, motivating music plays and the instructor talks you through a visualization of an outdoor cycling workout.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 to focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body Spinning helps to increase ones lower body and cardiovascular fitness.Spinning takes place at Fota Island Resort Golf academy every Tuesday morning at 7am & 7pm and Wednesday evening at 7pm sharp. Our spinning classes last for 45mins. To participate in our classes one must bring a towel and plenty of water (you will need it after this intense workout). The cost per class is €8 for non members and €5 for members. Pre booking is essential to reserve your place on our spinning bikes please call the spa on 021 467 3131
