It’s Not As Bad As You Think
1. Clamp your feet in. It’s very easy to slip off, especially when being extra active and working the pedals, consistently and at alternating speeds.
2. Adjust your seat. Butt pain is inevitable, but you can decrease the amount of hunching, reaching, and straining if you make sure the seat is at a natural height and distance from the handles. Speaking of the handles …
3. Don’t grip tightly. Holy moly is it easy to get into it, tense up, and squeeze the handles. I found that doing so for 15 minutes straight tense my shoulders and lower back. More than once I had to remember to loosen up and just keep in motion. Consistent speed and perpetual motion were more important than beast-ing it through a song.
4. Push yourself, but don’t pop a blood vessel. Spinning is appropriately challenging and organically allows you level up as you go. I get the impression that an alpha mentality of competitiveness would defeat the purpose. It’s best to remember that I’m not challenging anyone other than myself … and that lady up there with the microphone is just here to root me on. There are no moments of grunting relief, so keep it steady and solid throughout. I genuinely like the idea of that.
