JUMPS
(HAND POSITION 2) Jumps are
performed by moving off and on
the saddle with smooth, controlled
movements. Jumps develop
overall strength, hone reaction
time and improve balance.
HAND POSITIONS
The Spinning® program is a simple and effective way to get the fitness results
you want. Following are the three hand positions used in the Spinning program.
SEATED FLAT
(HAND POSITION 1 OR 2) This
basic movement builds
strength and stamina.
SEATED CLIMB
(HAND POSITION 2) This
movement tones and
strengthens the gluteals
and hamstrings.
STANDING FLAT/RUNNING
(HAND POSITION 2) This movement
is performed out-of-the-saddle
using light to moderate resist-
ance. “Running” develops core
strength and increases
endurance.
STANDING CLIMB
(HAND POSITION 3) This out-of-the-
saddle climb incorporates high
resistance to strengthen and
define the legs.
RIDING POSITIONS
Here’s an overview of the core movements that form the foundation of the
Spinning program.
HAND POSITION 1 can be used
for warm-up, cool-down and
light to moderate intensity
seated flats. Form loose fists
and rest the outsides of your
hands on the handlebars.
Keep your elbows and
shoulders relaxed.
HAND POSITION 3 is only used
for out-of-the-saddle climbs.
Lightly grasp the ends of the
handlebars, wrap your fin-
gers around them and place
your thumbs over the ends.
HAND POSITION 2 is used at all
times except out-of-the-saddle
climbs. This position provides
a stable foundation and opens
the lungs to facilitate
breathing.
