Goal 2: Spin Bikes

Did you know that there are about 100 ways you can hurt yourself on a spin bike?
Alright, I am exaggerating but there are reasons why spin rooms need instructors and over the last couple weeks I have learned that just hopping on and pedaling is not as easy as it seems. My advice is to attend a class and admit that you have never been on a spin bike in your life and have no idea how to adjust it. Then have the instructor fit your bike to you and remember the settings. If you are to stubborn to ask for directions be sure to check out a spin bikes settings before you go. I have been going for a few weeks now and I have just learned that the knee aches I was having were completely avoidable just by moving my seat back. Also, go ahead and by the gel seat pad. They are cheap and if you wish to return after the first couple sessions it will really help. Don't suffer to exercise! Pain really isn't your friend.
