If you haven't already done so, use a heart rate monitor in your spin class. The majority of your workout should be spent at ~70 - 80% of your max heart rate. Try not to spend more than 10% of the time above 80%. So for a 60 minute class that would be less than 6 minutes above 80%
Start out slow. Don't feel intimidated to keep up with the group. If you try to hard at the first you'll burn out! But as you continue, don't be the person next to you cheating themselves by not using resistance properly. Good luck!!
