Question: Interval training on an Exercise Bike?
Question Description:
I will begin interval training on my exercise stationary bike at home soon/eventually. Im building my stamina and basic fitness first from scratch by building my time to 30 or 45 mins max at moderate intensity of maybe 60-70% HR.My question is that once i am used to being on the bike for 30 mins or 45 mins max (depending by then as to what feels right) how then should I begin my interval training, ie can someone help recommend what the basic interval session could be and thus how to then improve on this and then what the end point is if there will be:eg: Time of the whole session, how many interval and how many rests both of how long and also why you recommend this to begin with and why you suggest expanding/increasing it in the way you suggest.Thank you in advance xps: Any websites to help will be appreciated too thanks (sites that offer guidline as to how to begin and progess ideally please) x

Answer#1: why don't you pop along to your local gym ,and get the answers face to face. there professionals and will advise you after seeing your fitness level
Answer#2: Start with three minutes easy riding, warm up, two minutes moderate, one minute fast, two minute moderate, one minute fast, one minute moderate, 30 seconds fast, one minute moderate, thirty seconds fast, two minute moderate, 1 minute fast, two minute moderate, three minutes slow. alternating cycles like this burns more fat, while not over training muscle to maintain an anabolic state.More or less cycles depending on your goals.Your heart rate can be less involved with this system, but here are some basics on HR. Beginners-your RHR (resting heart rate) should not exceed a 50% increaseIntermediate-60% RHRElite-70%Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
