You might have heard of newbie spinners getting rhabdomyolysis, where muscles break down rapidly. But this medical condition can be easily avoided by going to a beginner’s class and listening to your body. If you feel your legs tiring out, take the saddle instead.
In addition, here are a couple of tips ensure your indoor cycling class in Singapore goes smoothly:
A regular gym kit would do just fine for a spin class.
Do note that you don’t want to wear flared leggings while on a spin bike, just in case the leggings get caught in the wheels of the bike.
It’s not necessary to buy your own cycle shoes or cleats, as most spin studios will provide them. If not, the bike should have a cage pedal where you can slide in your sneakers to ride. If you do want to buy your own cycle shoes, check with the spin studio you’re with on the cleats they use. The most common are:
Most spin studios use either Stages or Schwinn spin bikes, and the setup for both are similar. Stand next to your bike and position your seat at your hip bone. Your handlebars should be about the same height as your seat or just 1-2 inches higher. Shift your handlebars forward so that the space between the seat and adjustment knob of the bars is the length of your forearm (elbow to fingertips).
Stand on your pedals and put your hands on the furthest part of the handlebars (usually referred to as top or position 3). Your spine should be in a neutral position and your core should be engaged.
Keep your elbows slightly bent and your wrists light on the handlebars. Relax your shoulders away from your ears and roll them back to ride comfortably. When you stand, your leg should be able to extend comfortably without your knees locking.
Once you’re strapped in, it’s a good idea to start pedalling out your legs to get them warmed up. The first 2 songs played are usually at a moderate tempo to increase your heart rate slowly and steadily. If you feel any discomfort during this time, take the saddle and stay seated to prevent injury.
After class, your instructor should go through stretches for your glutes and quads to prevent muscle cramping. You should continue stretching at home as well – use a foam roller to knead out tight muscles. It’s also a good idea to stay hydrated and replenish with electrolytes for faster muscle recovery.
Indoor spin classes have plenty of benefits that will help improve your overall health:

Absolute Cycle offers a wide range of spin classes in Singapore. There’s the Essential 60 which is slower paced and suitable for first timers. For more experienced riders, opt for Absolute 45 or Theme 45 that’ll give you 45 minutes of full body workout on the bike.

Occasionally, Absolute Cycle also brings in celebrity instructors like Akin Akman from New York City’s AARMY and Queenie Azabeth from Shanghai’s FlowCycle – pioneers in the spin circle known for their intense workouts and motivational pep talks.

Definitely recommend for those new to spin – always a good burn.”

For something a little cooler, there’s now cycling in a swimming pool. The Ripple Club makes use of water resistance with cycling on stationary bicycles underwater.
