Spin class

I am wondering if those "bikes" get any more comfortable to sit on the less you weigh... my gym added a couple of them to the circuit room, so I sat on one and tried to use it, and I lasted about 2 minutes before it got wayyy to uncomfortable.

I'd really like to take spin classes now that my knees are doing much better, but not sure what to do about the seat!

Someone tell me there's hope for me :)

it takes time, but after a while you don't notice it any more.  your butt just has to get used to being in the saddle.  to get you over the hump, you could try a couple of things including bringing your own padded seat cover (most have gel in them) or wear tri/bike shorts with extra padding.
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

Definitely wear bike shorts!

But don't wear a bike jersey. Unless that's the norm where you are. Where I am, you get looks if you do that. LOL

I remember the first time I took a spin class, I barely lasted 15 minutes without feeling like I got kicked in the crotch by bigfoot. Over time I built up my tolerance, and certainly as I continued to lose weight, it became easier, and finally became enjoyable.
