I have always liked cardio that gives you some control over the intensity, and spinning is great for that. You can get on the bike, start moving, and adjust the workout based on how you feel that day. It is also a good way to burn some extra calories without having to do anything complicated.
One thing I like about spinning is how much you can change the workout just by adjusting speed and resistance. Going faster with lighter resistance can give you more of a cardio-focused session. Slowing things down and adding resistance makes the legs work a lot harder.
You can also stand up out of the seat and pedal, which changes the feel again and brings more of your lower body into the movement. Mixing these variations together can keep the session from feeling repetitive and gives you a few ways to push yourself.
Like anything else, it does not have to be extreme to be useful. Even adding a short spinning session at the end of your workout can be a good way to increase activity and help with your overall calorie burn.
