hat's the most popular
piece of cardiovascular
equipment at your local
gym? Chances are, peo-
ple must wait their turn to hop on,the
treadmill for 30 minutes of aerobic
bliss. Treadmills, along with stationary
bikes and indoor rowing machines, are
an integral part of any gym's cross-
training room.
But now this equipment is turning
up in the aerobics room as more gyms
offer classes like Spinning, a heart-
pounding indoor cycling class. Other
group classes looming on the horizon
include Treading (a treadmill-based
workout) and The Boathouse (a row-
ing workout).
All of these.follow the same basic
format — 45 minutes to an hour of
interval training set to music under
the watchful eye of an instructor. The
beauty of these programs is that they
require no special skills. There is no
complicated choreography or tech-
nique to master, so anyone can join a
class and benefit.
"Even when you fall behind, you
can still stay with the pack," says
Chicago personal trainer Lawrence
Wayne of Fitness Companion.
These classes offer plenty of motiva-
tion to keep exercisers working hard
and they've become very popular.
Equipment is limited, so many gyms
require participants to make reserva-
tions for a class, which means you
can't always jump in at the last
minute.
Also remember that, although class-
es are led by an instructor, you should
monitor your own effort. If you work
too hard, you won't make it through
the class. When it's time to pick up
the pace, avoid the temptation to
bump up the resistance and/or speed
too high. Intervals should make you
breathe hard (they are work, after all),
not pass out on the floor. If it's your
first time in a class, be sure to let the
instructor know.
