Hey All

ah yes all those contraindications to spinning...there are so many...for example:

hand position 3 is to be used in standing position only, but i see a lot of people use it seated

those popcorn jumps, man even THINKING about it hurts my knees

hovering, trying to not move the upper body while spinning...also hurts knees

and telling people how much of their resistance knob to turn (ok, somehow that sounds dirty to me hahaha), as someone said, each bike IS different. and one of the Master Spin instructors said you tell people increase/decrease resistance. As for how to gauge intensity...you can use HR, and combine HR with resistance and cadence. the addition of cadence really helps, because obviously you can only push through hard through certain resistances or HR will go through the roof (well you might want that).

Cheers!
