Spinning tips I wish I knew ..

Hi 🍋 fit fam!

So for context I’ve been going for spin class for almost a year now, and would I go again? Hell yeah! Hahaha I love that it gives me the adrenaline to workout more!

I still rmb the first time I went for spin class and I was super lost! Haha wish I was told earlier about some of the basics 🤭 So here’s some things that I think is good to know before your first class!

🚲🚲🚲

✨ 1. Reach at least 10 mins earlier before class starts

- Spinning classes can be really strict like all doors will be close once the class starts and no late comers can come in after that 🥲

- Do come at least 10 mins earlier to set up your bike and be comfy before class starts

✨ 2. Bring a bottle of water

- Do keep yourself hydrated while spinning

- Most spin classes have water stations for you to refill

✨ 3. Set up your bike before class starts

- You can get help to setup the bike if it’s your first time

- Saddle seat height should be at the height of your waist (I prefer lower so it’s easier to control 🤭)

- Distance of handlebar to saddle is around 1 arm length

✨ 4. Familiarise with footing

- Place your foot to the pedal; the ball of your foot should be at the center of the pedal

- You will hear a click sound and you’re ready to go! 🤭

- To slide out, twist your leg in outward direction ( away from the bike )

✨ 5. Have fun!

- Start with a pace that you are comfortable

- Gradually challenge yourself by following the tempo / increasing your resistance once you are ready 🤩
