This ride is low-impact and perfect for those just starting out or looking for a productive recovery day. No fancy equipment needed—just you and any stationary bike! Key Metrics to Focus On: Cadence (RPM): How fast your legs are moving. If you need numbers: Low - 50-60 Medium 70-80 High 90 + Otherwise just go with what feels good! This is your workout! Resistance: The "road feel" or weight on the flywheel. 1-10 Resistance Scale for Indoor Cycling The resistance scale is a simple way to measure how hard you're working. The lower the number, the easier the ride. The higher the number, the more challenging it is. 1-2 (Easy): This is for warm-ups and cool-downs. It feels like you're pedaling with almost no resistance. 3-4 (Moderate): This is a steady, comfortable pace. You're working, but you can still talk in full sentences. 5-6 (Challenging): This is where the work really begins. You're breathing heavier and can only talk in short phrases. 7-8 (Hard): You're pushing hard here. Your legs feel heavy, and this level is tough to maintain for long. You can barely speak. 9-10 (All-Out): This is a maximum, all-out effort, like a sprint. You can only hold this for a few seconds. RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion): We’re aiming for an 8/10 or 9/10 during sprints! ⚙️ EQUIPMENT USED: Bike: Echelon Sport Heart Rate Monitor: Garmin Instinct My Favorite Cycling Shoes: Lake Shoes #BeginnerCycling #IndoorCycling #SpinClass #EnduranceRide #30MinuteWorkout #FitnessForBeginners #LowImpactCardio
