How to ride a spinning bike?

In modern society, people are generally busy with work and under great pressure. Many people do not have time to exercise after get off work, so the gym has become a popular destination for many people. A spinning bike is a device that imitates a bicycle. When you exercise on it, it feels like riding a bicycle. Many beginners often feel leg pain when riding a spinning bike. What's going on? This situation is often related to excessive exercise. So, how do you ride a spinning bike?

It is crucial to master the correct posture. If you experience leg pain after riding, first check whether your riding posture is correct. Among the many people who complain about leg pain, most are beginners. Most of the reasons are that you exercise too vigorously at the beginning and do not warm up properly. Therefore, it is recommended that you do 5-10 minutes of warm-up exercises before getting on the bus. Then don’t think that spinning is as easy as riding a bicycle. You must start from the entry level, step by step, entry level - elementary - intermediate - mountain climbing - extreme, and increase the amount of exercise in this order.

For example, when I first started riding a spinning bike, I pushed too hard and ended up having severe leg pain the next day. Later I realized this, so I rode at a constant speed at the beginning and didn’t make too many movements in between. I got the hang of it quickly and my legs didn’t hurt. Here is another tip. If you feel pain in your legs or knees while riding, you can try riding backwards. This can relieve the pain and make your legs thinner.

Some fitness coaches also said that the coach did not plan well. In this case, aerobic exercise should be the main focus. If you take spinning classes, you must take the beginner course. If the intensity is too high, it will be both ineffective and harmful to the body. It is recommended to jog on the treadmill and ride a bicycle with low resistance for a long time, with the total time being no less than one hour.

In fact, the most important thing when riding a spinning bike in the gym is to grasp a principle: proceed step by step, set a goal for yourself every day, and don’t be in a hurry. For example, if you practiced for 20 minutes yesterday and 25 minutes today, today you have made progress compared to yesterday. If you experience discomfort such as leg pain, do not persist, but rest in time.
