Eating during a spin class is:
  1. Advisable to restore lost glycogen and carbohydrates.
  2. Dangerous and should not be allowed.
  3. Unhygienic and probably prohibited by your facility.
  4. Okay as long as it is only sports bars or other nutritious snacks.
Explanation
Answer: B- Eating during a spin class is dangerous and should not be allowed. While carbohydrates and glycogen stores are depleted during a spin class, eating while spinning is extremely dangerous and can lead to choking and stomach cramps. If participants feel they need to add carbohydrates while spinning, they should be encouraged to select a suitable sports drink and bring that to class along with plain water.
