Hi -- I've got a curious question here. I just started taking spinning classes on the days I can't bike, and the instructor has us doing all sorts of weird...
I stay away from spin classes for just that reason. Those classes definately aren't geared toward actual cyclists, and definately not towards triathletes....

Only suggestion would be to change gyms. I thought the 'keep fit' style spin was a New York thang (when I moved from hard-core biker-central San Francisco last...

Tobias, I've never really had problems before - but I'm cramping up every time I hit a swim class, and am now starting to get cramp on runs. (no problems on...
Make sure you are properly hydrated and have plenty of electrolytes in your system. Remember you can still be sweating a lot while swimming and losing plenty...
On the rare days where I can't ride in the morning, I'll take a spin class to get my ride in. This is only because most gyms unfortunately do not have spinner...
Often those cramps are from some kind of mineral or electrolyte deficiency. A multivitamin might help for your day to day workouts. Specific foods can...
Great question. I have had similar experiences in spinning classes in the past and would recommend that for triathlon-specific training, "spinning" be avoided....
Hello Tobias, Cramping is most often caused by electrolyte imbalances, i.e. sodium, potassium, chloride, etc. One way to avoid cramps with this origin is to...
I teach indoor cycling at some of the city's top gyms and would like to offer my 2 cents: If you're asking an instructor to work out for you, you're barking up...
Thanks for all the advice, everyone. On 'pointy toes' I've been swimming since I was kid and never really had an issue - maybe I've changed technique without...

I think that, with the right instructor, spinning is a great training tool for triathletes especially for those of us that compete at sprint distance events....
I have thoroghly enjoyed reading all of these e-mails regarding spin classes. I'm somewhat new to the sport of triathlon, and the bike is my weakest leg. In...
My second post in two days! Spring is coming... So I've decided to replace my old bike helmet. I thought it was about time. I bought it in 1998. Once my...
I put it in the dish washer for clean up. Perfect. It comes out good as new and works for another 7 years! Just make sure you don't have 'heated dry'...
