Just did my first spin class- question
OMG I sweat so much and actually felt a bit nauseous. I almost gave up after the first few minutes but am so glad I pushed through the hour. But seriously, my azz was killing me! Those seats have zero padding! Will I just get used to it or is there something I can put on it, etc. It was almost unbearable at times! Help!

I believe they sell shorts with a padded butt...but I got used to it after the second class. It definitely gets a lot better!

I'm not a regular to spin classes...but it does get better the more you go. And it's an insane workout!

Re: Just did my first spin class- question
Yay! Good for you! Spin is definitely is very sweaty work out but a great one!
The first few minutes of class is always hard so expect that. The more you do spin, the more trained you'll get though. I used to go more and went after months last Monday--the class was extrmely hard again! You do build stamina so stick with it!
As for your butt, it will be sore for a few days. You do get used to the seat a bit over time but I purchased a pair of cycling shorts from TYR. Try the TYR site-they have sales sometimes. They have some padding in them so it makes it a tad better. They aren't cheap but I wash them by hand so basically wear them everytime I spin.

They do have gel seats you can put over the bike seat, and they help. But when I was spinning a lot, I found that I no longer needed my gel seat. I just got used to the regular seat.

Re: Just did my first spin class- question
Good for you! I hated spinning the first class and then ended up trying it again and became an instructor!
As far as the butt hurting, they sell gel seats for like 20 dollars at Sports Authority and they make a WORLD of difference!

Re: Just did my first spin class- question
Thanks everyone! I went and bought a gel seat cover and hoping it works! I kind of hated the class but it was mostly because I felt like I might die lol. I'm going to stick with it and hope I start to love it because I really sweat like mad!
