The spin class I am currently taking, is not for me. So I do my own workout on the bike. She wants us to sprint, which is fine, but not when you crank the tension up. WTH? That makes my knees hurt. If you want a sprint you take the tension down, not up, that puts a lot of strain on your knees. She also feels that you are warming your muscles up when you start out at 60-70%, uhm...nooooo. For me I have to work up to that, but hey, what do I know. Maybe you are supposed to do that. It doesn't work for my body, so I don't do it.
Of course this is the same instructor that has you do one arm pushups. You lean to the right or left-uhm noooo, lower back injury just waiting to happen. One time she even said it 'simulates a turn'. I'd wreck if I did that.
She had me wondering at her 'knowledge' when we were stretching. She wanted us to do neck circles. ALL the way around. Uhm-nooooo, you never lean your head to the back, you stay to the front. Carry on. Just my ranting.![]()
