I got a stationary bike and I used it for the first time today

??? What the fuck
Do stationary bikes work different from normal bikes? I've never experienced this in all my riding years.

Maybe stand on the bike? Can pedal faster anyway.

They also make padded cycling shorts, but thats stupid for a fake bike.

>>38606828
it's just uncomfortable especially if you've never done it before. try standing up to pedal for a while every few minutes to take the pressure off, and if it persists for a few weeks you can look into getting a different seat

>>38606828
The seat is too high.

lmao google "how to adjust a seat on a bike"

protip: arched back does nothing for aerodynamic, muscular or endurance performance, so you need to have a straight posture, dont copy cyclist fags who swear on rounding their back for several hours.

Complete shite.

stationary bikes aren't as ergonomically friendly as actual bikes. and even then it takes some time to get used to the position.

give it a week or 2 and you'll be fine

>>38606828
just wait a little, this also happens with regular bikes
make sure you get at least two days rest before the second session, after two weeks you will be fine

>>38606920
what? of course being aerodynamic makes you go faster but if your ridding to lose weight or stay fit you don't need to tuck and it can hurt your back if your new.

They function differently. You can't stand on them. The peddels are further forward like a kiddy tryke, on the 'wheel'. The seat has a larger butt area to match this.

/n/ here
>Spinning bike or 'exercise bike'?
>Saddle hard or soft?
>Did you bum/lower back move in any way while seated?

If you answered spinning, hard and no, then it's just adaption phase.

If it's an exercise bike, change equipment, you're wasting your time.
If it's a soft saddle, it will always hurt.
If your lower back or bum is moving in the saddle, you're seat is probably too low or you have terrible techniue on too high a resistance.

not on a stationary bike it doesn't. you're inside dickhead.

make sure the position is set up correctly and buy some padded shorts

Recumbent bikes are more comfortable.

Except fucking education

>>38609074

>>38608887
The ones at my gym have armrests. I'm never sure what to do with my hands.

Also the levels only go to 20? It's still too easy to pedal.

have you tried exercise pedals? you can just use a regular chair with them. they can be really cheap (~$60 USD), though pic related is $300

been thinking of get one for cardio cause jogging hurts my knees

Why do Americans call it a taint, it sounds weird, try calling it a Gooch it sounds much filthier.

>>38610510
Lol there's was gang in england near where I used to work called the Gooch gang or some shit

>>38610510
We use both. Tbh I thought taint meant asshole for the longest time
