Before you go into your spinning class, there are some things you can do to prepare. For one, you want to be hydrated and fed, just make sure you don’t eat anything that’s too heavy or makes you feel full. We recommend a healthy snack to get you going and drink enough water not to feel thirsty. You also want to learn to engage your core during your spin class. Abdominal strength is what allows you to maintain balance and remain suspended instead of leaning on the handlebars. So, imagine you have a girdle around your middle to remind you to keep your core engaged. You also want to be mindful of your posture! Relax your shoulders so you can engage your core, and keep your feet flat and straight knees. These are all important elements to have a proper posture. So, keep these things in mind.
