Repeat this sequence as many times as you want. Slowly increase the volume (number of rotations) and intensity (speed of rotations). Push to the point that you feel a little bit nauseous/uncomfortable. Adapting to spinning takes time, consistency is much more effective than one intense session. Not something that you will just get overnight.
