PdxMan 4,292 Posted August 20, 2012 Spinning is great because you can go at your own level. Don't worry about the spastic person next to you cranking it as hard as they can trying to out-do the instructor (there's one in every class). Just go at the pace you feel comfortable with and try to push yourself occassionally. That is where you will see the gains in your fitness and endurance.

lowe1961 45 Posted August 20, 2012 oh yes i need a gel cushion . I think i will take the one off my husbands bike that he dont ever use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renea77 84 Posted August 22, 2012 LOVE spin class, take it two to three times a week. The gel seat is a MUST unless you like walking like a cowboy the next day lol. Those seats are a pain in the rear(literally). Totally love the class, keep it up if you like it. It burns a lot of calories and is a great workout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finding MeMe 204 Posted August 22, 2012 My fav workout session. I sometimes spin alone with my ipod if my gym is not having a class. After a while your butt will get used to it and you will ride without that gel seat just fine. Happy losing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ready4success 380 Posted August 22, 2012 I've been eyeing the class at my gym. I'm kind of getting bored with the elliptical and treadmill everyday. Does it burn as many calories as the elliptical or less? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finding MeMe 204 Posted August 22, 2012 Yes it can burn up to 800 cal per class depending on the level and intensity of your workout session. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
