Do you have one of those squishy gel seat covers you can buy?? I hear those are heaven.

The gel seat covers that Iceprincessk25 wrote about and your key. : ) I was not a fan of spinning class until I rode through a class using one of those gel seat covers. It makes a WORLD of difference. My gym has them available in the class. If your doesn't you should look at purchasing one.

Good Luck!

It took me about 3 classes to get used to it. The girls in the first class I took said, "just to warn you, you WON'T want to come back." Thanks! :huh:

Make sure that you're keeping your knees forward when you're riding, too. Like everything else, your form matters & I noticed when I was slipping in form, my tush hurt more. I still need to get one of those gel seats. I borrowed one for a class & it was fantastic!

Good luck & keep going! :flowerforyou:

the doctor at my job is serious into cycling and spinning (she is currently talking me into doing it) but she says in time your butt will get used to it and it will stop

She told me their are shorts you can buy with a padded butt - but they are fairly expensive- You could always buy a gelled seat to bring with you to the spinning class-

I rode one of those stupid bikes at the gym and my butt hurt for 2 days afterwards :grumble:

Padded bike shorts are a must have! You will feel so much better after with those on. If you don't like wearing the spandex road biking ones you can throw another pair of shorts on over or they also sell ones that already have the over shorts attached , mountain bike shorts.

This happened when I first started riding my bike. I got used to it after about 5 days or so, when I developed my "butt callus" haha. But if you go a long period of time without riding it will come right back!

Best of luck with the spinning! Let us know how it goes. I'm thinking of taking a class myself but still filling a little intimidated!

OMG, NO! IF I can do it , you can do it! and there is the tension that you control, so its all good! I only went today cause my favorite instructor was doing it, and I knew she would rock. I got there a bit early and had her help me with the proper settings, height , foot, ect... She was awesome.

DO IT! I burned 805 calories!!

Perfect! thanks so much for the encouragement! I do LOVE riding my bike! I find myself on the bike all the time at the gym too, so I should go for it.

Thanks!

spinning rocks! but I would love it better with a gel seat. never heard of those! I must look into them:)

turtle31

you could get a gel seat from sports Authority they're around 16 bucks or so.

I see a gel seat cover in my future!!

I wish I could be brave and go to a spin class

Why not?! It's a lot of fun & people in the classes are so focused on what they're doing that they won't notice what you are (or aren't) doing! Get a bike in the back of the class & try it out! You might find a new favorite workout!

I agree! I sat in the back corner of the room,.. the only other looking I did was once in a while at the person in front of me. And the instructor. That is it! No one will notice you.. and I dont mean that in a bad way!

I've been meaning to try it as well but have been scared! My legs are not a friend to the bike right now and I know it's just gonna kill me!!! :laugh:
