I haven't sweat so much in my life (presumably I sweat during uwh, but thankfully I can't see it); I was dripping on the floor (kinda embarrassing)
I realised, after about 2 minutes, that I'm quite good at pedaling whilst sitting on my arse, but the standing up was horrendous, I didn't even complete it during the warm-up. The 'tracks' involving standing were abysmal, I didn't manage to stay standing for even half of any of them. The sprint sections were fairly easy, so I probably should have increased the tension but I didn't want to push it the first time.
My arms are quite tired after the class; next time I'll put the handlebars higher, see if that help. We were told not to lean on the handlebars whilst standing, but I struggled so much at it, that I couldn't help it.
My right foot, and left to a lesser extent, got pretty sore, though I spoke to the class leader at the end and I might have been pedalling slightly wrong. More worryingly, my right ankle got very achy about half way through the class, I'm hoping that it was just fatigue - I haven't felt any discomfort in it since the end of the class.
I'm going to leave it a few days before doing another spin class, though I'm thinking about the Sunday class.....
