How many calories will I burn in a Spin class, and what is the approximate equivalent distance in road miles traveled?
The number of calories you’ll burn depends on a number of factors, including your weight and the intensity at which you exercise. Research indicates that on average, participants burn about 400-500 calories in a 40-60 minute workout. The “distance” traveled depends on cadence; however as an estimate, an average 40-60 minute class at a cadence of 80-110 rpm is equivalent to approximately 15-20 miles on the road.
