Participants can improve upper body strength while spinning by:
  1. Doing ‘push-ups’ on the handlebars during a session.
  2. Leaning on their arms for balance during a session.
  3. Pulling hard on the handlebars during climb sessions.
  4. None of the above.
Explanation
Answer: D - None of the choices listed are ways that participants can improve upper body strength while spinning. Spinning classes are designed to build cardio fitness, core stability, and lower body strength. Attempting to incorporate drastic upper body movements, such as push-ups, can lead to poor balance, uneven pedaling form, and injury. Leaning or pulling on the handlebars can cause shoulder and back strain and injury; participants should maintain a balanced position with only a light grip on the handlebars.
