Everyone from Hilary Rhoda and Alessandra Ambrosio to Harry Styles and Demi Lovato have been spotted leaving a SoulCycle class \u2014 something about those yellow bikes just calls out to celebs.\n\nIt&amp;#39;s not hard to see why, though: One single spin class packs in a major punch of cardio and toning. And because you can determine your speed and resistance, it&amp;#39;s not hard for beginners to jump in and get started. Plus, the instructors for spin classes almost always keep things upbeat and positive \u2014\u00A0key for committing to any fitness routine. \n\nWhat It Is: Any spin class involves riding a stationary bike, working out the bottom half of your body. But classes like SoulCycle add in extra elements, like small weights and customized playlists. Think of it as a really intense dance party.\n\n&amp;quot;We ride to the beat of the music, and perform choreography to work our entire bodies while an instructor motivates you to push harder on and off the bike!&amp;quot; says Charlee Atkins, Senior SoulCycle Instructor. &amp;quot;We incorporate core and upper body movements including an arm series with hand weights and push-ups which are done to the rhythm of the music.&amp;quot;\n\nLoadingView on Instagram\n\nWhat to Wear: You&amp;#39;ll want to keep things fitted to get the most out of the movement on the bike without getting tangled up \u2014\u00A0try a fitted spandex. A tank top will keep you from overheating. And you&amp;#39;ll need special shoes to clip into the bike; SoulCycle will rent them out, but if you&amp;#39;re a regular spinner, it might be worth investing in your own pair.\n\nWhat Not to Wear: You&amp;#39;ll want to skip shorts for this one. We have two words for you: Thigh chafing. (Sorry.)\n\nDon&amp;#39;t Forget to Bring: A big bottle of water. Once you&amp;#39;re clipped into the bike and spinning, it&amp;#39;s hard to jump off and take a water break. And having a towel to rest over the handlebars is also useful for keeping sweat in check. \n\nAbove: Smartwater 12 pack, $26, amazon.com; Adidas by Stella McCartney Run printed CLIMACOOL\u00AE stretch tank, $50, outnet.com; Khataland Equanimity Hand Towel 2 Pack, $14.40, target.com; SoulCycle Colorblock Mesh Back Tight, $98, soulcycle.com; Louis Garneau Women&amp;#39;s Ventilator 2 Cycling Shoes, $79.99, dickssportinggoods.com.\n\nRelated: 7 Ways Your Wardrobe Is Sabotaging Your Workout\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
