our fave bike trainer workout

Here's a great bike trainer workout, I think it is the best one.This tunes your legs to spin. The basic idea is spin at high rpm for increasing duration of time over 7 intervals.
 
A normal cadence is 80-100 rpm. A sprint cadence is more. The ability to spin at high RPM makes spinning at regular cadence easier, and smoother.
 
If you don’t have a way to measure cadence rpm, just consider pedaling really, really fast.
 
Fast music really helps the brain to tell the legs to go fast!  
 

High-RPM cadence Interval workout


(do not go at cardio maximum/overload, this is not a cardio workout)
 
 
warm up 5-10 minutes
 
Set bike resistance level so you can spin 110-120 rpm without too much/too little resistance
 
0:30 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
1:00 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
1:30 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
2:00 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
2:30 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
3:00 - 110-120 RPM
    0:60 - recuperation
 
3:30 - 110-120 RPM
 
recuperation 5-10 minutes
 
 
 
Enjoy!
