Instructions: 
Variable Effort Ride / Cross Training Activity

Be aware that riding on a stationary bike inside is easier than riding outside due to the lack of wind resistence and other weather conditions. Often your pace time inside will not translate outdoors so your RPE level might need to be adjusted.

RPE stands for Rate of Perceived Exertion and is based on a 10-point scale.

10 = extreme exertion -- conversation is impossible

8 = high effort -- conversation is extremely labored

6 = optimum effort -- conversation is difficult, but possible

4 = medium effort -- conversation is easy to maintain

2 = warm up

Exercise Comments

Went for a cycle and was out for a good few hours and was also pulling my two kids in my trailer at the back so had a really good workout. Will go again tomorrow depending on the weather.

Cycled 20 miles this morning with husband. It is the one guaranteed time that I have his full attention. Took us 84 minutes, including his potty break. Part of our MWF routine. We live in the country so I love our peaceful rides.

Rode 27 miles today. Loved every minute of my ride. The only problem is I forgot the sunblock and I'm paying for it now.
