I haven't gone to spin class in years....I even have clips LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484802 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:31:04 +0000 babybean404 2484802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buy padded shorts and keep going to the class! It hurt me so badly at first but after a few weeks I didn't notice it anymore. I kept going and lost 30 pounds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484790 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:10:48 +0000 Andrea 2484790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get help with the bike set up? I was in pain until I got the settings right, even with padded shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484210 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:13:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 2484210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like everyone else has said, totally normal. If you're new to spinning and the pain/irritation continues, you might have the instructor check your bike set-up. Moving the seat closer (or back an inch or two) might help make a difference. Also try moving the seat up/down as well. Sometimes I'm not careful about my seat height and my butt grazes the seat more than it should, resulting in skin irritation and soreness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484194 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:01:17 +0000 peachykeen 2484194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very normal - the first few rides are always really hard on my pelvic bones, particularly! If you're going to be doing it several times a week, it may be worth buying padded bike shorts or capris. I think mine are Pearl Izumi brand - I got them on sale and they've lasted a few years so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484185 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:53:37 +0000 MrsSCB 2484185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You definitely get used to it! The first few classes are a bit painful, though. But I love spinning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484166 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 09:34:27 +0000 avivoca 2484166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484112 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:49:07 +0000 Eko 2484112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! It get's easier after about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484073 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:22:20 +0000 MrsKRB 2484073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very normal, and your bum will definitely get used to it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484064 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:13:31 +0000 sslm 2484064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: definitely normal, definitely gets better with time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484063 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:11:41 +0000 jhd 2484063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: for me it got better with time. Some people buy padded shorts or get a seat cushion to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sore-after-indoor-cycling-class#post-2484058 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:07:20 +0000 cat620 2484058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me this is normal - I took my first indoor cycling class yesterday, and I woke up this morning with a sore bottom! During the class, I kept thinking about how uncomfortable the bike seat was. Is this something that gets better with time? </p>
