How to Use These Videos

There is no one size fits all when it comes with spin training. That is why we leverage on the power of the web to bring you 10 of the best spin workout videos so you can try them all out and decide which of these is the best for you. Work your way down from the top, using one workout video a day for the next 10 days. When you finish, you can decide on which is your favourite and repeat it. If you can’t decide, you can go back to the top of the list and start over again.

But, remember, if you are new to this or have only just come back after a long while, be sure to warm up before attempting these spine workouts. While these are videos created by professionals for beginners, do not start without a warm up and do not over exert yourself.

Peloton Bike Hack

Here is a quick hack, get a smartphone or tablet holder for your stationary bike, mount your screen horizontally so you can maximise your view, visit the links below and start the spin class of your choosing. If you have one of those foldable stationary bike or movable ones with castors on one end, move the bike to the middle of the living room and set it up in front of the big screen smart TV. Either mirror your mobile or use the YouTube app on the TV to start streaming. They may not be live, most of them are recorded spin sessions but it’s as close as it gets. We found that some channels set live streams on YouTube but you will have to check and follow the scheduled time to join a live class.
