Real Life Tabatas
Yesterday my bike riding partner Ken Zolot and I did 3 sets of 6 Tabata intervals on the AirDyne. I just thought it would be interesting to let you see some real life stuff:
Equipment- Schwinn AirDyne ( larger fan model)
Workout 20 sec on 10 sec off working to hit level 10 on each interval
Sets and reps- 3 sets of 6 intervals were performed. Each set takes two minutes and fifty seconds. Rest was done by heartrate. We started the next set when we hit 110 BPM. Both of us are over 50 years old. My heartrate maxed out at 172 after the last set. Rest was 1 min after set one, about 2 min after set two. This means we did 18 sprints of 20 sec each in just under 12 min.
I was able to ride 1 mile in each 2:50 second interval. If you have access to an AirDyne, give it a try.
PS- don't ask me how to be this specific on another bike because I don't have one.
