iCYCLE 26 - 30mins

This one is with Mimi - who normally takes the iSCUPLT workouts. Keith is great at the cycling workouts so can Mimi compare?

I was impressed with Mimi and how her workout differed from those that Keith does. His are conventional cycles, but Mimi introduced travelling back and forth in the saddle and push-ups - something you might find in a spinning class. Some people might feel a bit awkward doing this in the gym - but I think it's a good addition to the cyling mix and I hope Mimi has some more cycling workouts up her sleeve.

It felt very intense - don't be fooled by the first 90 seconds that seem far too slow for a cycle, she cranks it up with some big hills and some incredibly fast sprint intervals. About 22 minutes in I had to take a break such was the intensity.

Before the workout I did some back work, shoulder and abs. 40kg on the lat pull dows, 16kg on upright row and shoulder press, 8kg on lateral raises, 8kg on side-reaches with some crunches thrown in at the end.
