This should be the position your torso maintains during your entire ride, whether you are seated or standing.Once you’ve achieved this tall spine/shoulders back/head and neck relaxed position, tighten your core and hinge forward at your hips to bring your hands down to your handlebars. I begin every class by sitting up tall in the saddle, and doing 4 big shoulder rolls back while pedaling gently. It’s important to ride with good form to get the most out of your workout.Ensure your feet are strapped in securely (or clipped in if you’re wearing shoes with clip-less pedals), but not so tightly that your toes go numb.If you are, raise the bars to a more comfortable height. When your hands are on the handlebars make sure that you aren’t putting a lot of pressure on your hands or leaning too far forward.Make sure your ankle is either below your knee, or slightly behind it and NOT coming in front of your knee.When you sit on the bike and pedal, bring your knee up so that your thigh is parallel to the floor.Your saddle should be at a height that is just about even with your hip bone when you’re standing on the ground next to the bike.
What is comfortable for one person may not be for another, so it’s important to adjust your bike for your body size. Before you start the workout, here are a few important tips and tricks to help you get the most out of it.
