How do you solo train on stationary bike? (self.asklemmy)

Basically do people use timers? An app that prompts you when to shift to a different speed or exercise/resistance? Watch the clock?

As title says, no idea how this might work. I found workout plans, but they are like "so many minutes doing this thing, then switch to the next thing" and I really suck at watching the clock when working out.

I like the classes locally but I'm not able to get to them with my schedule.

You don't necessarily need to keep the time to do it. You could just give yourself rest periods and push periods, but it'd probably be hard to keep the motivation without seeing number go up lol, at least to me. If all you get is total distance at the end, then I'd definitely just do the RPM thing. Just set a goal RPM and a rest RPM and bounce between the two as you are able to push total distance
