Workout Journal Notes

I increased the high intensity intervals to 130 RPM (rotations per minute) and still felt like I had plenty left in the tank.

I’ll just continue to increase by 5 RPM each time, until I can’t complete the entire 15 minutes, just like increasing by 5 or 10 pounds on a given exercise until you can’t complete all the reps.

Of course, I could also increase the resistance of the pedals, but then it would be transitioning more toward a leg workout than just cardio, in case you were wondering…
