To get the best results, pay attention to your rate of perceived exertion (RPE), or how hard you're working on a scale of 1 to 10.
Minutes |
What To Do | RPE |
| 0:00-5:00 | Warm up gradually | 5 |
| 5:00-7:00 | Pedal steadily at about 85 rpm (level 7-10) | 5-7 |
| 7:00-8:00 | Speed up to 100 rpm (level 7-10) | 7-9 |
| 8:00-14:00 | Repeat minutes 5 to 8 twice more, going 2 minutes moderate and 1 minute fast | 5-9 |
| 14:00-15:00 | Recover for 1 minute | 5 |

I tried it - it is a fast workout and fun to switch out the machines, but my calorie burn was 300. Still a good 40 minutes
