If the thought of running on a treadmill for one hour bores you to tears, you are not alone. Plenty of people feel that way too � and have gone on to find more exciting ways to get some exercise. Just ask Esther Wong, who discovered a new way to do an old exercise!
Esther Wong, 25, is an event stylist and the founder of Afterbloom. Depending on her work schedule, she tries to fit in time to exercise at least two to three times a week.

One day, she came across a fitness video on Instagram. �It was about a new type of indoor cycling class called Flycycle that�s in KL. I was intrigued by how the workout engages both the upper and lower body with push-ups, weights, ab work, all while cycling on the stationary bike. I had never heard of spin done that way and was sold. I immediately looked up for a class!�

Initially, Esther was concerned that she wouldn�t be able to keep up with the intensity of the class. �I�ve heard that these indoor cycling classes can be quite intense, and was worried that I�d fall off the bike in the middle of the class! Luckily, Flycycle provided a pair of spin shoes that are clipped to the bike�s pedals. That really helped to keep my feet secure, as I used to find that my feet would slip off while cycling halfway through the routine.�

�The instructor of the day was very kind and encouraging! His enthusiasm made it easy for us to keep up with the class. He started by demonstrating some basic moves on the bike. A little warm up and then we went straight into the routine. We all pedaled according to the beat of the music, and all of the songs were catchy and fast paced - which made it fun to keep up to!�
