Gym Wear/Outfit


Recommended Posts

What brand padded cycling shorts do you recommend sir? I usually wear supporter but, of course, we can't be too careful. Thank you in advance.

 

If youre not gonna bike outdoors and youre just gonna do a spin class or use the indoor cycle, the suggestion is not to use the padded shorts or the gel seat pad.

 

The padding gives you a false sense of comfort that detracts from the efficiency of your workout. That means you dont maximize the time you spend on an indoor bike if youre on a padded seat or wearing a pair of padded shorts.

 

Granted that the seat of the indoor bike is not the most comfortable seat in the world, the discomfort goes away after a while... either that or your butt gets used to the discomfort and goes numb after a while.

Not really.. its a combi of standing / sitting depending on the objective of the class. Normally there would be sprints either on the seat or off the seat, a seated climb, a standing climb and assorted drills....
