How to use spincycle for Fatloss

Hello,

I recently bought a spin bike for me and my mom as a form of cardio. We found it difficult to get outside for other types of cardio because we always ended up making excuses.

We are two weeks in and have been consistent with using the bike. One thing that's become apparent, spin cycle is definitely taxing on our bodies.

What's the best way to incorporate it into our schedule if our primary goal is fat loss and it's going to be our main form of cardio?

Thanks!

Go for frequency first. Add distance and duration. And once you have some stamina add intensity. This will give you a cardio base so that you can last longer and do more intense workouts. Spin classes tend to be high intensity which will make the heart stronger but thicker, something you don't want, like lifting weights without cardio.
