A link for Power Zone Help
Lili: I may or may not have posted this link before, but you may find it useful. It can also be brought up on your phone while doing the workout (and that way you have a timer so you know how much time you have left in that interval/zone). Denis is notorious for getting side tracked and I like to know where I am and how much time I have left in say my 8 minute zone 3 interval!!!
https://app.homefitnessbuddy.com/peloton/powerzone/ Like I said - all the Power Zone ENDURANCE rides are strictly zones 2 & 3. There is (usually) no zone 1 recovery. you learn to recover in zone 2. Which does happen. You will fall into a groove. I can count on one hand the number of beginner endurance rides that DO give a break (one minute usually) in zone 1. Much like the FIRM tapes, I wonder if the workouts are effective and within about 10-12 minutes? I am dripping with sweat. So yes. They are effective, with minimal killer work to my body!!! They make me strong AND like you said - you know what you're getting into. It makes all my other rides pale in comparison since I don't have a destination. By the same token ??? It allows me to just do the other rides as "FUN" rides and doesn't matter where/what how I do them!!! That's my story and I'm sticking ot it. If you search on your phone, you can filter, by type of ride, instructor, length of time, etc. It truly is a wonderful tool. That said? I notice that the program I am using now is NOT available for classes on that site. So ... I guess they didn't break them down or couldn't/weren't allowed? Whatever!!! But the classes for the badge and the program: Build your power zones are NOT on there. So I'm back to the "old fashion way" of keeping track of the interval in my head watching the clock/timer. Which is always interesting! (NOT!) Ok ... back to you regularly scheduled check in. Cleda PS ... for anyone who wants to research hydrow workouts - they are availab le on a separate tab. Handy little website. . . |
