Adding hand weights to your spin class routine is helpful for:
  1. Nothing, spinning is not compatible with upper body exercise.
  2. Improving balance and core strength.
  3. Building strength in the arms and shoulders for a ‘whole body’ workout.
  4. Improving participants’ coordination.
Explanation
Answer: A - Adding hand weights to your spin class routine is not helpful; spinning is not compatible with upper body exercise. Spinning classes are designed to build cardio fitness, core stability, and lower body strength. Attempting to incorporate drastic upper body movements, such bicep curls with hand weights, can lead to poor balance, uneven pedaling form, and injury. Participants should maintain a balanced position with only a light grip on the handlebars. Using hand weights can unbalance riders and lead to accidents and injuries.
