As someone relatively new to spin classes, I was interested to read an article the other day about the ‘hover’ move being unsafe / injury-prone and not recommended.
I’m interested in views on this from those more experienced. To be honest I don’t really care if it’s not an effective “real cycling training” move, as I’m not a cyclist and use spin purely for cardio fitness – but I am interested in the joint impact risks (especially on knees) and whether there’s any reason to be concerned.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hey Laura,
Check this video out:
Hover is a very controversial subject & I don’t think the debate is ending anytime soon.
Thanks,

Thanks for sharing, the video was helpful and I appreciate the balance of views (and common sense approach).
The recent 20 min Spin HIIT Energy Boost class posted I did find to be more on the extreme / controversial move side – but that said, going forward I’m just sticking to those instructors who rely less on these moves 🙂
