The following are acceptable hand positions for a spin class:
  1. An ‘aero’ position with the hands forward.
  2. The hands on the sides of the bars, palms facing in, slightly in front of the bend in the handlebars.
  3. The hands directly in front of the body, on the straight part of the bar closest to the body.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the positions listed as choices in this question are acceptable. Participants can chose different hand positions depending on the type of effort. Hands at the base of the bar give a more upright position, helpful for climbing and out of the saddle work. Hands at the sides of the work aid stability and are helpful for high-cadence work. An aero position is more advanced, but acceptable for seated work if the arms are not extended too far.
