WARMUP
4 min warm-up: RPE 2-3, RPM 80-85: Start the workout with a 4-minute warm-up at a comfortable pace. Maintain a Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) of 2-3 and keep your RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) between 80-85.
Increase RPM 85-90: Gradually increase your RPM to 85-90 while maintaining a steady effort level.
Increase RPM 90-100: Continue increasing your RPM to 90-100, further warming up your body and preparing it for the upcoming workout.
Reduce RPM 85-90, Increase resistance: Reduce your RPM back to 85-90 and simultaneously increase the resistance on your indoor cycle. This will help activate your muscles and prepare them for the workout ahead.

COOLDOWN
RPM 70, Recover: Start your cool-down by reducing your RPM to 70. Allow your heart rate to gradually return to normal and focus on recovering.
Shoulder Rolls: Perform shoulder rolls to release any tension in your upper body. Roll your shoulders forward and backward in a controlled manner.
Chest Stretch: Stretch your chest muscles by interlocking your fingers behind your back and gently pulling your shoulder blades together.
Calf/Hamstring Stretch: Finish the workout with a calf and hamstring stretch. Place one foot in front of the other, keeping your back leg straight and your front leg slightly bent. Lean forward, reaching towards your toes, and feel the stretch in your calf and hamstring.
