20 years ago I was a kickass cyclist, somehow I forgot how to set up a bike. This was so great and now I can fit my 2 metre frame onto my bike easily, I thought I was going to crack out the angle grinder and welder, awesome stuff.

[@thefancygarden5099]

I have been spinning with you for about 3 weeks now and loving it! This video is a great update on your previous set up video! The camera angles are so much better!! Please do another stretching "Dessert" video as well! I always have "Dessert" after my ride and it would be fun to have another option. Thank you!

I’m new to spinning and just thrilled by your channel! Love all the instruction and am enjoying your beginners’ workouts!

Yay!! Welcome to the channel, Jessica!!! So glad you’re here!!! 🙌😍🎉

[@undividedheart4436]

Lol wish I would’ve seen this sooner. After adjusting my bike, riding feels so different. A lot better. I was struggling to keep my core engaged in past rides and never would’ve imagined that it had to do with how my bike was set up . Thank you!

Fantastic energy!

Amazingly helpful, Kaleigh!!! Honestly, I have been doing a lot of outdoor walking and avoiding my spin bike for the last couple of months due to some discomfort. I was feeling like perhaps my body was not meant to cycle. I discovered that my handlebars were way higher than they should have been. I'm cueing up one of your cycling videos for the morning. Can't wait to feel the difference and get back to working out with you! So grateful for the knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm you bring to this space. #keepkickingbutt

[@michellehunt2110]

So glad to have found you. Loving riding with you. I have an Echelon bike, and I’m concerned that I’m not understanding your resistance levels. When I was riding with Echelon, they would advise starting at level 8-12 and to go up to 20+ which was tough. Are the resistance levels on the Echelon bike the same as other bikes? At level 9 I’m not sweating like you and I’m defo not as fit as you 😩. Please let me know. Thank you 🙏

[@kaleigh]

Hi Michelle!! Yay!!! I’m so glad we can workout together!!! 😍😁 I’ll send you a video and this explains how each resistance number should feel for you! Hopefully this will! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXFoXWOfKZ1brM

Hi Kaleigh, I’m so hooked on your videos, I’m doing them almost every day now! I watched this recently, and noticed you talking about cages and shoes. Sorry if I’m being a bit clueless...but I couldn’t figure out if you meant that it’s best to change just your shoes or the pedals as well? I have pedals that are shaped a bit like a letter “H” with a plastic cage over top to hook my sports shoes into. Do I need to change these if I buy cycling shoes?

This might be a silly question but when you mention speeds 5-10 , would I be looking at RPM, Avg Resistance or Speed on my bike monitor??

[@beyourbest9982]

Thank you for explaining the basics. Other videos recommend to mostly keep the saddle horn between the thighs and not come past the resistance wheel with your knees. You have a different position in the 2nd „jogging“ position. Can you give me advice?

Thank you for this!! The bike im using has a 0-100 level (magnetic resistance) It’s an IC6. But im not sure how does it compare with the resistance you explain here 🥺

[@VMoonshadowV]

I'm wondering the same thing. My resistance just has - to + so turn right to bring up the resistance and turn left to turn it down. I'd like to know how compare it to the numbers she calls even if I need to mark it on my knob so I know what to go to each time to keep my workouts consistent

Is there a resistance chart for your bike to the echelon? Super confused! My workout was not very good ha!

[@jennifertait2287]

I just got Shimano clip in shoes! I love them. I watched your video to get the best fit and think that’s all good. I had a question about resistance- my bike does have a cadence counter but when I try to keep up with you I feel like I have to take off resistance. Is that just because I need to get stronger? Also is 10 resistance the knob turned as high as it goes?

[@kaleigh]

Hi Jennifer!! Yay!!! Awesome you got yourself some Shimanos!! So happy you love them! The resistance is relative to each person and is based on your rate of perceived exertion, so 10 may or may not be turned all the way up on your bike! It should feel though like it is the very top of the hill, if you were to turn it anymore from your 10, you would slow down or stop. When you mention having to slow down to keep your cadence, in most cases I think keeping resistance up, even if you slow down a bit is best and the speed will come with time. However, if you find you are slowing down a lot, you would want to adjust your resistance a bit!

Found your 20 minute video tonight and it was spot on. I have the Reebok ZR9 Bike and was wondering what you would recommend for the resistance. It has 32 levels of resistance. When I followed your video earlier the levels didn't seem to be that different if I stuck to the numbers you said. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks 😊

[@alexaguidry5984]

Is there a way or gage to use if I’m using a peloton to know what resistance to use

[@kaleigh]

Hi Alexa! Great question! I don’t have a number for number translation because the resistance I call out is all relative to each person! Once you find your 5-10 in my workouts, you can definitely correlate the numbers to the Peloton bike! My resistance levels are based on feel, so a 6 should be moderately light, while still feeling something under your feet, as if you were just starting to climb your hill. A 10 is the very top of your hill, this is a very heavy resistance but you are still able to maintain a smooth pedal stroke and not drop below 55RPM. I also have a video which explains each number in detail! You can find that on my channel homepage under “beginner’s guide to indoor cycling” or this link here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXFoXWOfKZ1brM I hope this helps!! 😍

[@AmyBarkerPhoto]

So I just got done setting up my bike, and it doesn't have numbers on the shifter for resistance. Do I just adjust a little at a time when you say "go up"? This is frustrating. It just has a + and a - symbol.

[@kaleigh]

Hi Amy! My bike doesn’t have numbers either. The numbers I call out are based off what you feel, for example a 5 is like riding on a flat road. Just enough resistance where the pedals aren’t moving on their own. A 10 would be the steepest climb up a hill where you can maintain a smooth pedal stroke. Hope that helps! 💜

[@xQmausx]

Hello Kaleigh, do you have any ideas for tall people? The seat won't go as high as the top of my hip bone, and the handlebars only raise to about the same maximum height as the seat. When I got to step three in this video, I feel like my knee is bent too much. Thank you for any advice you can provide.

[@kaleigh]

I know that can be a challenge depending on the bike. I’m not sure if your seat moves back and if so, sometimes that can help give you a little more length!
