Workout Monday

Tina is off on vacation for a couple of weeks so I am on my own. I used the hill workout we did a couple weeks ago.

Using the stationary bike, I warmed up at L2-L3 for 5 minutes. Every 2-3 minutes, I increased 2 levels trying to keep my RPM at around 80+. I increased 4 times ending up after 15-20 minutes at L8. Once at L8, every minute or so, I would increase my levels for 30-45 seconds, easing back to L8. I started with L10, then did a L11 and then L12. At 20-25 minutes I started backing down a level or two every 3 minutes. Finishing with L2 for 4 minutes to cool down.
Cardio - 30 min.
