Spinning lovers come here please!

Oh dear god I’ve just bought a spinning bike as I can see gym closures coming. I’m a swimmer normally but pools may close and I can’t run anymore due to ligament damage.

So I’ve just managed three minutes wow it’s fucking hard. I started a beginners class and fuck me I was breathing out of my arse. Had to get off it before I fell off it. Walked down the stairs like my legs were made of rubber. Sat on the couch and felt sick.

Honestly I’m not that out of shape!!

What did I do wrong and does it get easier 😭😭😭

I promise it does get easier. Do you have a Peleton or something else?
Definitely start on a much lower resistance and work your way up as you get more used to it.

It’s much better to be able to manage a whole class at a lower speed/resistance than die after 3 minutes!

I do a spin class every day, how high did you have your resistance, sounds like it was pretty high? I'd turn it right down for your next class, but do stick with it, it's fantastic exercise!

It just says pro fit on the side and it’s a twisty knob for resistance. I think I had it too high
