Sorry guys, i posted the wrong "question" cuz i said spinning, but i meant something else by it. But thanks for all the helps on spinning classes =) So i'm gonna edit this post as to not create a new one.

Well, what i meant is, when I am cycling some people say try to keep pedaling even on the "up" swing of the pedal. I guess if you have clipless pedals, than it is easier to "pull" the pedal up, thus you are always pedalling and you can keep a constant tempo. So in fact, you're doing a full cycle of pushing and pulling to give the same force and not have to just exert force on pushing the pedal down. But i have the regular pedals and i'm trying to do the same but i can't seem too! Is their a way or method that i can do to practice it? Is it even possible without clipless?

I hope this makes sense.

Pedaling in a complete circle can't be done with platform pedals. Unless you are a freerider, go clipless, it is the single most performance increasing upgrade you can do to any bike.
