I’m 6 weeks post op today. As a gift I treated myself to a spin class. My first one in a long time! I’ll admit I wasn’t sure I’d make it through the 55 minute class but my 247 pound body did! I was the biggest in the room for sure but I didn’t care! I was there for me and only me! I feel fing fantastic!!!! The instructor is one I like a lot. She’s very motivating and pushed us to focus on why we were there! What we wanted and reminded me that nothing changes overnight! I can’t wait to go back Friday!

If you’ve never tried a spin class, I encourage you to. You work at your own pace and you feel awesome when you’re done!

I do not even know what a spin class is, but I think I need to lose another 40 pounds first

Not sure what you weigh, but I first got into spin when I was 360lbs. It’s great cardio and great for toning the booty!

Spin class is where you ride a stationary bike but it’s made to go fast. They play great music and get you moving! I started at much heavier. Check one out and you may be surprised! I like it because it’s kind on my hips and knees!

? Congrats ?

I may have to try it, but i have found using a bike at the gym hurts my bum LOL.. is there any cushioning on these bikes?

It hurts my bum too lol! Unfortunately there’s less padding on the spin bikes but I’ve found the more I do it the less it hurts!

You can buy padded cycling pants, shorts, or just simply buy a chamois to wear under your workout clothes. They really help with pain from the saddle. Aerotech Designs carries some. For reference, their 3x fits around a US 26.

The padded pantaloons saved me! Would have never been able to continue without them!
