First spinning class - my arse! my arse!

[DuffyMoon]

just been and I would have almost enjoyed it but for the saddle pain - is there anything I can do to remedy ??? I am rather a fat git on the large side which I know makes things worse. I want to keep going but dont know if I can put up with pain

[hsmile]

keep at it as your backside will get used to the saddle, you can get padded pants, either inner pants or cycling shorts with padding. The shorts or pants must, really must be tight snug fit - anything lose will chaff (beleive me that is worse)

you can get udder cream it is what long distance cyclists use on their rear to ease the pain sudocream will also help afterwards

spin is just fab

once you build up some muscles in your legs you won't spend much time on the saddle anyway. I've heard of spin sessions where they remove the saddle to make sure you're not 'resting' on it and instead making full use of your legs.

I'm planning on doing my first spin class in the morning!
Hoping I won't suffer with a sire backside

done session 2 and survived; I fugured it couldnt be worse than week one, so only way was up !. I also bought a gel saddle - wanted shorts but obviously fat people dont exercise and they dont go up to a size I need [hangry] Anyhoo - bottom still sore but definately better...and I managed about 2 minutes of standing up!!! unlike week 1 where I managed about 2 nano seconds...go meeeee! [hgrin]

Was going to suggest a gel saddle. Well done, your bum will get used to it and you'll become addicted!

LOVE spinning.

put it on under cover of the towel though as was a little [hblush] the others obviously have rock hard bums...and most of them do ALL the standing up which I think is way off for me for now - can cope with the sprints though [hwink]
