What It Is
A ride on your own bike outside. It builds endurance and leg strength with little pounding on your joints and counts toward your weekly cardio.
How to Do It
Ride at a pace where you can talk in short sentences but not sing. Shift to an easier gear on hills so your pedals keep turning smoothly. Wear a helmet and ride with traffic.
Skill Level
Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.
Type
Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.
Engagement
Unilateral (Alternating). Each rep alternates between sides.
