6. Your butt will be sore…from the seat
You'll notice that after your first few classes your butt hurts, badly. And we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's not necessarily a "my butt is getting toned from spin class" sore. It's literally sore from the bike seat. But that goes away, promise.

7. The resistance is key
The more accurate you are with changing your resistance accordingly during class, the more calories you will burn and the quicker you will feel results Yes, it hurts, but isn't that way you're there?

8. Release any tension 
Don't hold onto to tension during class. It will distract you too much during your ride. Take this time to let go of any negativity you've had happen recently and you will finish class feeling renewed.

9. You forget you're working out 
The best part of spinning? It's basically one big dance party.
