    Yes its OK to go, but you might not want to go all out. Lower your resistance a bit and increase your cadence.

    So I am a spinning fanatic lol!!! I go everyday of the week most of the time. If I am super sore I still go but I focus on endurance rather than strength. So I don't put as much resistance on the wheel but try to push myself to go a little bit faster to make up for it. Also it helps me loosen up my muscles so I feel like it reduces my soreness. Just do some extra stretching afterwards and you should be fine :) Hope this helps you for next time :)
