Hey my fiance is dragging me to one of those psycho biking classes at the gym in a couple hours so could I get a few ideas on how to not fry out before the class is finished?? All answers are greatly appreciated!
Answer
I know what you mean. I've taken spin classes for over 10 years and sometimes I have trouble making it to the end.
Here are some of the things I do. If I went really hard for the last song and I'm just fried, then I don't follow the class to the next exercise, I'll take all the resistance off the bike and just spin the pedals for a minute or two to rest and catch my breath and drink some water. This is useful to do if you went out too hard at the beginning of the class. Unlike real biking the rest of the class isn't going anywhere!
The "5 minutes more" strategy. When it is really tough and I want to stop, I just say I'm going to try to go another five minutes and that's it. A lot of times if you can hold on for just a little bit more, you'll be able to make it through the class.
Only go at your own pace, don't pay attention to others in the class. You don't know their fitness level or their goals, so measuring yourself against them won't do you any good.
Practice positive talk. When you are working out hard you have to fight down your fear that you are going to burn-out or you won't make it through the whole class. So actively fight your feelings of fear. Visualize yourself not quiting and what it will feel like to finish strong. Try to keep this image in your mind when the going gets tough for you.
