Cycling gives you tremendous bang for the buck. Spin and cycling will deliver serious cardio and calorie burn benefit with very little wear and tear. I burn 1200 to 1300 calories during 1 hour advanced spin class. Also, just riding casually gives more benefit than you think. Buy a nice bike and you won't regret it.

    1200-1300 calories in one hour seems a lot. Are you sure of this? I thought that a 1 hour spinning class would normally burn around 600cal.

    Wow! I take a spin class 4 times a week and have never burned that many calories. In my hour class I do burn about 600. My 45 minute class has a different instructor and she is not very intense so I may only burn about 400. I love it though and it definitely is great cardio.

    I think your calorie burns are a bit overinflated...

    I've love cycling but unless you are an elite cyclist I very much doubt you are burning anywhere near that amount.
