What is a Boomer Spin class? 

Let's start with the basics – what is a spin class? Spin is a high intensity indoor cycling cardio workout. You cycle on a bike that is stationary, which is a plus if you’ve ever fallen or you have trouble with balance. Do this with other baby boomers on a spin bike in a gym that keeps you out of bad weather and out of dangerous traffic. This cycling cardio exercise class can be done safely when it’s dark outside – before work when the sun is not up yet, and after hours when the sun has already gone down for the day. When you cycle with a spin class, you follow directions from an experienced instructor who keeps an eye out for any medical problems. The gym’s location near Willis-Knighton hospitals guarantees a response team can help you quickly if the need arises.  

Why spin with boomers? More than 70 million people in the United States are part of the baby boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964. This generation is expected to live longer than previous generations. This means more years (lifespan) to consider your health and lifestyle practices so you can enjoy the extra years with your loved ones (well span). Regular physical activity is a globally accepted strategy that supports and sustains health and functional independence as you age, even into older years. Community is another. Come check out this boomer spin class, enjoy fun physical activity with your friends, and improve your well span.
