So I went on the exercise bike today, again. This time I didn't go Tabata on it but rather tried to play nice. I rode it calmly for 10 minutes and then did intervals of 20 seconds hard, 40 seconds slow. Did that 5x, then did two more hard 20-second intervals over the next 5 minutes. For those of you keeping track, that's 20 minutes in total. My shorts tend to ride all the way up to my crotch during it, which is a bit awkward (and uncomfortable as hell.) Hated having to adjust it, especially since some chick sat on a bike right next to me, despite having tons of open bikes. There was also someone right behind me, which I discovered only afterward. 'Whoops.'
Calorie count said I burned about 130. Heart rate went from ~130ish to ~150ish consistently. RPMs were a solid 100 for the first 10 minutes, 140-160 during the faster segments, and 80-90 during 'recovery' time. Was quite hungry when I got home.
I tried inverse rows afterward but quickly discovered I was weak as hell. Being in the power rack is unusual enough at this gym, but I'm alright most of the time because I'm doing something manly that most people don't have the guts to do. This time I was failing at a weird body weight exercise and looked like an idiot, so when someone stared and I gave up at the third rep, I hightailed it outta there. Not part of The Plan (TM), y'know?
