babygrl1234 6 Posted September 10, 2007 Take a gel seat in with you to put on the bike. You will probably still have a sore butt but it will not be quite as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmarruda 22 Posted September 10, 2007 Take a gel seat in with you to put on the bike. You will probably still have a sore butt but it will not be quite as bad. Good tip, I was just looking at the gel covers yesterday, but decided against it only because my butt is just now getting used to it. But I do want to look into getting spinning shoes.

babygrl1234 6 Posted September 10, 2007 I am definitely going to get some shoes. But mostly because when I get my road bike I will use them for that also. Biking shorts are also really nice to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmarruda 22 Posted September 17, 2007 I took spin yesterday and usually the class only has a handfull of people in it on sundays. Yesterday it was just me and the instructor. I was going to leave, I definately didn't want to be the only one there, but I stuck it out and it was worth it. The instructor changed up the class based on what I could do, and challenged me. And whenever she said something, I knew it was geared towards me (since I was the only one there!) It was actually pretty cool. Its definately funner with more than 1 person, but I liked that she was just talking to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nina_S 1 Posted September 17, 2007 OMG! I love spin class!! I am so happy to see that so many other people do too. For those that are hurting try getting a gel seat cover (it just fitsd right over the bike seat) and/or some padded bike shorts. You can these at your local sporting goods store. Schwinn has a seat cover for like $12 - you can also get one from Amazon.< /p> Schwinn Adult Double Gel Bicycle Seat Cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmarruda 22 Posted September 17, 2007 Hey Nina, Everytime I see a seat cover I say, nah, I don't think I really need it. Then right after class I'm cussing at myself because I didn't buy it! I really should invest the $12, since I'm trying to get to spin 3+ times a week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
