One of the best investments you’ll make; enjoy (not sure if “enjoy” is the best word though 😆)

How can you control resistance?

Great vid man! I was in the market for an airbike but the noise might be a problem at the moment do you think rowers or just a normal bike would be good alternatives cardio-wise? I'm quite fit and work with gymnastic rings I do sprints or running for cardio but looking for lower impact options plus eliminates the excuses on rainy days if you have it at home.

Cheers mate! I appreciate the support. The noise can certainly be an issue if you need to keep it quiet for your workout. A standard spin bike is a brilliant alternative as you can also work at maximal intensity with low impact and minimal risk of injury. You'll also get similar cardiovascular adaptations.

I am old and weak but not overweight and I just got my bike. I’ve adjusted the seat as you instructed. The highest speed I can do is only 40 RPM, I can do 33 easily. I started doing 2 x 5 minute sessions per day with a view to adding one minute per day until I can do 20 minutes per session. Is this a good idea? Even the 7 minutes session I did today makes me perspire slightly, is that okay?

Yes just go a little harder each time, that’s how your body adapts, then when your doing 10 minutes each session your blood pressure and heart rate will go down at rest and you’ll shed weight

Hey Rosemary, I can't give personalised advice without a proper assessment of your health and fitness. However, as a general rule of thumb, if you're just starting out, or you're "old and weak" as you mentioned, it's always best to start really easy (3-4/10 RPE) and build up your total duration and intensity very slowly. The body adapts to small increases session by session. Good luck!

@@michaelbullfitness Thanks Michael. I’m very aware of the need to let the body adjust. I’ll just keep going at 32, which is easy for me. I hope to do 40 with ease after another month.

Great plan. Another rule of thumb in fitness is increasing intensity or duration by 1-5% as able. This is called "progressive overload". @@rosemarykennedy5430
