I decided to go 25 minutes, which would have been my longest AirDyne ride yet and in line with Steve's advice to try out a longer ride once in a while. He actually recommended 30 minutes, but I thought I'd work my way up to that. Plus, I'm the World's Laziest CrossFitter.
My usual pattern with AirDyne is that I start out at a medium pace and try to gradually increase my intensity toward the end. At the start, I was just trying to keep the watt number above 160. Later on, above 180. By the end, I was north of 250.
I also wanted to beat my results from my previous 20minute ride by the time I hit 20 minutes into this one, which was a little tricky to figure out a way to pace myself so I had something left in the tank for the final five minutes. But I managed to do that.
At 20:00, I had burned 274 cal and travelled 6.20 km
At 25:00: 360 cal and 7.91km.
By the way, I'm loving the Songzaa iPhone app, and particularly the "Rap Anthems" playlist that plays the rap hits from my prime. During this workout, I got re-acquainted with this classic:
Call me crazy, but I don't think that gal in the bikini on the beach was actually playing the sax.
All I want to do is a zoom zoom zoom, indeed.
