TOTAL TIME: 37 minutes

Nick explains:”Work out what levels suit you on the Bike at your gym & keep a nice balance between high revs and high levels on the work periods. You should be able to keep the revs consistently above 100/105 but if you are creeping up above 110 on the longer intervals then you need to increase the level! Get the legs going faster on the shorter intervals. You should be the one surrounded by a pool of sweat after 37 mins of this one!  ENJOY!!”
