Have you ever taken a spin class? Any advice for my first time?

Hello, I signed up to take an 8 week spin class starting this weekend. WHat should I expect? How intense is it? What should I wear? Thanks.Have you ever taken a spin class? Any advice for my first time?
It will be VERY intense and it is OK if you can't keep up with others who are used to this kind of workout.





You should wear sneakers, and tight fitting work out clothes- lycra if you have it. Or just sweats that are comfy and are knww length. YOu van wear shorts, too if you're comfortable, but you will be peddaling fast and at times standing up from the bike.





The music will be fast dance music most likely and the instructor will speed up the pace and then take it down a litle, but it will be intense and youwill sweat!Have you ever taken a spin class? Any advice for my first time?
i took spin classes and it whooped my butt!! don't get me wrong it was a good kinda whooping. make sure to take a big bottle of water and a towel-- your gonna need both. make sure the instructor knows your new so that he doesn't expect you to be preforming like advanced members. start out at your own pace, and don't be afraid to slow down, lower the resistance, and not do all the fancy things, sit down, or whatever you need to make yourself comfortable. it will take several classes before you get the routine down and learn some of the moves well-- take your time and don't push yourself too much, you don't want to get hurt.


have fun.
