My intention was to take a belly dancing class at 6:30 tonight and thus effectively get in cardio and ab workout... however, I was kept at my new job until 6:30 and didn't make it to the gym until just before 7:30... so I hopped on the bike for some intervals.
Ouch.
Seated flat to recover followed by standing flat (at 80-100rpm, which is... HARD), standing climb (at 60-80rpm, which is also HARD) or, and this may be my new favorite pain, something called running in the pedals. Um. Oh my god. So, with the first two, you lean over the handlebars and "climb" with the bike. Standing flat is hard because it's fast, but you still have the forward momentum idea. Now this new running in the pedals thing is slightly bogus. You stand, but keep your center of gravity over the pedals. For three minutes. Did I mention each of these is for three minutes? Yeah.
Good stuff though, 35 minutes in the saddle. Felt great. Go me!
