iCYCLE 6

40 mins

This is a tough iCYCLE - tough due to the speeds Keith makes you work at, and I am sure there are a couple of mistakes on this one.

The warm up is fairly standard and quite easy, before moving into a couple of hill climbs. They are fairly fast but do-able.

Now, about 15 mins in is where we start to work (a little too) hard. I follow Keiths instructions about resistance levels pretty well - on my gym bikes I tend to use a resistance that is double the perceived effort level. I am very dilligent, and always try to work where I should be. However, on the "jog" after the hill climbs, the rhythm Keith counts put my RPM up at about 130 - which is about as I high as I ever go, and he expected this at level 7! Well, I couldn't keep up with that and even thought the music was more suited to a hill climb rather then a fast sprint. Anyway, I managed to work at about 100 RPM with a few breaks.

The intensity is kept pretty high for the rest of the workout - although I found the rest manageable at Keiths recommended rhythm and resistance. I was sweating buckets by the end of this one - but still felt pretty good!
