How do I sit properly on a spin bike?

Apparently I've been too upright when I'm sitting on one. I'm trying to determine the correct seating posture for a spinning session to the most effective.


Answer
Adjust the saddle height to where you have a slight bend in the knee with the ball of your food over the center of the pedal. Your leg should be straight with your heel over the same spot. Move the saddle for and aft so the protruding bone just below your knee cap is over the center of the pedal when it is straight forward and parallel with the floor.

Adjust the handlebar position to allow you to place some weight on your arms.

You want to do an easy 10 min warm up and then start pedaling at a high cadence 70-90 rpms and apply just enough resistance to get your hart rate up and you should be sweating after 15 min. You don't want to use too much resistance where you kill your legs. It's too easy to do that but a heart ate monitor will keep you on the right track.

Answer
Perhaps you could do a Yahoo! search?

EDIT: If you bought the Walmart version then I recommend that you go back to your local store and obtain one. These were made for Walmart, and actually should be relatively easy to assemble with basic mechanical ability.

Thats not to say that they'll last very long...
