    This is what has worked for me to relieve the butt pain. I noticed that's what other riders do too, so I didn't think it would hurt anything. But I did start getting lower back pain but I didn't tie it to the spinning class. I would follow what she said below. I wonder if my lower back pain was coming from that.. I thought it was from my crappy chair at work.


    well do keep your weight back in the future; I'm sorry the instructor did not correct your posture. You might want to show up a bit early next time and ask the instructor to make sure the seat is at the right height, and the correct fore/aft position too. If you see others leaning; chances are they are relatively new to spin. You want to be close enough to the handlebars that you just have a gentle bend in your elbows --not so far you have to stretch, or so close you are riding in the fetal position. The handlebars are for resting the hands gently; providing balance only. Once you get used to it, your bootie will be ok and you won't even think about it anymore.

    blessings.
