I did my first attempt at HIIT yesterday at the gym, on a stationary bike.
I alternated 30 seconds at 65-70 rpm with 30 seconds at 95 rpm on resistance level 8. I was getting pretty tired after every "high intensity" part (although i realise the rpm is weak as im not the best at that stuff), but eventually i managed to do 40 minutes of it (and i couldve done more).
The bike has a built in program called fat burning which has about 30 seconds low resistance, then 45 intermediate resistance then 45 high resistance, is this the same as interval training?
Is it better to increase resistance or set it at a standard manually and increase speed?
is 90 too low of an rpm for the high intensity part? I couldnt maintain it in the 100s, should i lower resistance and increase rpm? or do they even out?
