A Different Approach For Tonight’s Exercise
https://www.280dude.com/2013/07/29/a-...ghts-exercise/
I’m going to try something new tonight when I get out for a ride. The long loop going around the rec center across the street is 1.3 miles (I think). I am going to spin like mad (to get the heart rate up) and each lap I am going to get off the bike and do 10 pushups, 10 chins (modified so I can do them) and plank for 1 minute. I’ll do that until I think I may be “too sore” and then I’ll complete my ride, going for heart rate the rest of the way.
If this works out I will do it a few times a week, probably every other day. I may have to do TWO laps to get the heart rate up and keep it there for a length of time but hopefully I can get it down in just the one lap. I’d love to work up to doing ten stops for my pushups, chins, planks, etc.
Thoughts?

Sounds like it would be a fun workout to change things up a bit. I always liked circuit training back in my younger days when I was a gym rat.

It worked out well. I did do as many laps as I wanted (finishing a class) but I think I'm going to incorporate it into my weekly rides. To make any gains in the pushups, etc. area I'll have to do it at least twice with three times being preferred. Though I can get the pushups and such in even if I'm not riding so I don't have any excuses there.
