On my first day back at CYCLEBAR
-
Even though I am not really following along with the class's program or the sprints and grinds and up off the seat and down on the seat HIIT system, being in a class and having a trainer and being committed to not farting around at all during the 45-60-minutes the class takes place, makes it all worth it for me.

My second first day back at CYCLEBAR Columbia Pike was great!
-
I really enjoyed my second first ride. While yesterday was my first first ride back, I didn't reach any flow. It was just a shakedown. Yesterday's was more fun. I felt back at home. And, I stayed within my Maffetone range of 105-115bpm 90% of the time.

Almost a Week of Riding Every Day
-
Well, I have had so much fun going to indoor cycling class every day since Monday—even in all of this freezing Polar Vortex weather. I have taken a variety of classes, I have made friends, I have hopefully gotten stronger, but I can also feel a certain level of diminishing return from riding every day.

Trying Riding Everyday at CYCLEBAR
-
After an awesome ride at CYCLEBAR Columbia Pike over the weekend, the co-owner, John Ryan, mentioned that some riders at the studio ride three sequential rides—three rides in a row—and I thought, "maybe I can ride every day."

Recovery from intense physical activity is a real thing
-
While I do concede that recovery days do rob me of valuable caloric expenditure, fitness is a series of ascending plateaus.

The pledge I made in my last post lasted only a couple hours until I both drank and ate chicken! Oy vey!
