First cardio workout

Today I hit the exercise bike, the LifeCycle 9500, for 40 minutes. Next time I’ll try to up it to an hour, but my legs were ready after 40 minutes. It was only level 6 (out of 20) and I was just thinking that I remembered when 10 was easy.

The basic structure of my ride was like the workout below except I only went for 40 minutes and I started at 75RPM.

My bike workouts tend to go like this:

  • 0:00-4:30 – 65RPM
  • 4:30-5:00 – 85RPM
  • 5:00-9:30 – 65RPM
  • 9:30-10:00 – 85RPM
  • 10:00-14:30 – 75RPM
  • 14:30-15:00 – 95RPM
  • 15:00-19:30 – 75RPM
  • 19:30-20:00 – 95RPM
  • 20:00-24:30 – 85RPM
  • 24:30-25:00 – 105RPM
  • 25:00-29:30 – 85RPM
  • 29:30-30:00 – 105RPM
  • 30:00-34:30 – 95RPM
  • 34:30-35:00 – 115RPM
  • 35:00-39:30 – 95RPM
  • 39:30-40:00 – 115RPM
  • 40:00-44:30 – 105RPM
  • 44:30-45:00 – 125RPM
  • 45:00-49:30 – 105RPM
  • 49:30-50:00 – 125RPM
  • 50:00-54:30 – 115RPM
  • 54:30-55:00 – 135RPM
  • 55:00-58:00 – 115RPM
  • 58:00-58:30 – 135RPM
  • 58:30-59:00 – 145RPM
  • 59:00-59:30 – 155RPM
  • 59:30-60:00 – As fast as possible (usually around 180RPM)
