It makes sense, you're basically short-tripping your body, much like you would a car. Every time you start your car (or begin pedaling with intensity and speed for those 8 seconds), it uses more "gas" than if you were to just keep it running (or pedaling at one speed or one resistance). |
yeah definitely I try to play around with short time intervals. like they say, look at a sprinters body vs. a marathon runners.
thanks for the tips both of you. Actually i should have included this in my original post, but i was asking because i was going to add ankle weights to my bike riding. but i have yet to try short time intervals using resistance, just speed. imma try that tonight.
