How long will it take to build muscles in my legs and thighs if…?
I do spinning at the gym for about an hour. Three days a week
I'm a young women of 5'6.5 in height and I weight about 150 pounds
Pretty quickly you'll notice your legs are getting toned and more defined. If you combine your spinning class with restricting your caloric intake, you'll lose weight, as well.
Cycling, however, is fundamentally an endurance activity characterized by doing lots of repititions with low resistance. For example, if you maintain a pedaling cadence of 60 RPM, you will be doing 3600 repititions through an hour long spinning class. Cyclists, like long distance runners, don't tend to build lots of muscle bulk.
They can have highly defined muscles, but they won't have a lot of it.
As others have stated previously, building muscle bulk requires low numbers of repititions with high resistance. Thus, if you want to build bulk you need to do some weight lifting along with your spinning classes.
Muscle bulk formation, however, is also a function of testosterone. Due to their low testosterone levels, women are incapable of putting on as much muscle bulk as men.
Hope this helps you.
