How many calories to you burn off in a spinning class?

In: Calorie Count [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have been looking for this answer myself and the general consensus is it can be anything from 350 calories to over 500 calories for a 40 minute class.

This depends on the level of effort. high resistance and fast pace will burn more calories but no resistance sprints will burn very little as the bike does the work. High resistance burns more but not as much as resistance and speed combined.
A common misconception is a lot of calories are burnt as we sweat so much in the spin classes but that is just down to being is a closed environment.

But as with all exercise, a professional should be consulted to find the programme right for you.
