So tonight I did my first spin class. OMG it was hard work. I felt it was a victory that I made it through the entire class.

However, I have a question. Is it normal to have pain in the groin area from the seat?? I felt like a fire breathing animal was chewing my crotch off. My pelvic bones are so sore. I think if I can get used to the pelvic pain I would like the class. Guess I need to tough up my bones or find some padded underwear. LOL

Invest in the padded gel biking shorts. They are worth every penny. I have two pairs since they need to be washed by hand. ~LA

lol yes it is normal to feel that pain i gave it up for water aerobics but i am going to try it again congrats on finishing the class.

I LOVE spinning!! I have purchased a gel seat at Walmart ($10). You will be sore the first couple classes. Don't be afraid to stand up during the class even if the instructor is not telling you to. Spinning is great because you get to determine how hard you work! Just make sure you adjust your calories for the day of the class.

Definitely! Couldn't walk normal for weeks afterwards ... Such a great exercise though

Hurt like hell the first few times but I guess your bits must toughen up after a while lol

Very normal. I don't do spinning very often because it takes awhile to get used to the pain. When I do do it, I bring along one of those gel seats that you can slide over the spinning bike and that minimizes the misery. I don't tend to feel pain in my groin as much as my tailbone. I avoid sitting too far forward, which places a lot more pressure on the groin area, and my position is more where the pressure is placed on the middle of my butt. Nonetheless, it hurts for awhile, but you do eventually get used to it.
