So the spin class is giving me serious crotch-ache. I haven't had this much pain since I gave birth. The other spin ladies recommended I wear a super-gigantic-monstrous maxi pad, so this Saturday, I bought 20-pack of the heavy flow stuff, hiding it under other items so the total strangers next to me in line wouldn't notice.I wore one to class this morning and I call BS. I'm sitting here with a throbbing you-know-what and it isn't because I've been bumpin' uglies. (If you're grossed out now, shouting "TMI, TMI" at the computer screen, blame it on Madison Joe, who specifically requested more stories about my sore ass body parts...maybe not my sore ass, specifically, but whatever.)
Please, please, PLEASE send any and all tips about how to avoid this pain. I will pay. Or give you a prize.
On a positive note, I showed up to weights and spin today, two full hours of hellacious exercise. The word "exercise" seems too gentle for what I've signed up for. It's not a beating, for sure; my trainer is too gentle for me to call it that. But it's really (kind of) of awful.
Oh, and today I was able to do a smidge better than last week. Just a smidge. I'll take it.
Happy Tuesday, all.
PS: Here's a link to my trainer's website.
PPS: When does this get better?

Try wearing cycle shorts, they have a padded area that helps protect you.
I agree with the bike shorts idea. For me, the taint's the thing that gets really sore, and bike shorts let you rest on that pretty well.
Although the placement of everything is going to be different, maybe some padding between the lines is necessary.
I love this post! I laughed so loud, people at work turned to look at me!
Next week will be better when you are just a smidge better, and the week after that too.
