| Description: | Guidelines for properly setting up a client for indoor cycling/spinning
- Have client start by standing face-forward next to the bike and moving the seat so that it's level with their hip bone.
- Instruct client to sit on the seat and rotate the pedals until one leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke. If the leg is fully straight, adjust the seat down one notch.
- Alternatively, if the client's leg is too bent, move the seat higher until there's just a slight bend in the knee at the bottom of a pedal stroke.
- If the handlebars can be adjusted, a good rule of thumb is to set them ~1 forearm's length from the start of the seat.
