One of the benefits of doing interval cardio on a Schwinn 231 Recumbent Exercise Bike, as opposed to longer, moderate cardio is it’s positive effects on your metabolism. You’ll boost your metabolic rate for a longer period of time, and that means you’ll improve your conditioning and burn more fat at the same time. Long, moderate paced cardio is waste of time if you’re trying to shed those extra pounds or improve your athletic performance.
The right way to do cardio on your Schwinn 231 for fat burning and better conditioning is high-intensity interval cardio. Try doing a 15 second sprint, followed by 45 seconds of rest, and repeat this 8 times, or if you want something even more challenging try the “Tabata” interval, which is 20 seconds on, and 10 seconds off for 8 rounds. Remember, these are ALL OUT sprints, and that means you sprint as fast as you can. 100% Intensity.
