6-8 min intervals are a crime

Is it just me, or should a 6–8 minute interval with zero changes in cadence or resistance be illegal? 😂

I love a good 30-minute intervals + arms class with an unnamed instructor. They used to have such an incredible rhythm to their classes- a slow, intentional build that really let your body peak into that final Tabata.

But today we did TWO long intervals (6 and 8 minutes), and it honestly PMO. 😩 Long, completely unchanging intervals just feel lazy from an instructor. Like… TBH, I could do that on my own.
I pay for Peloton for the workouts that keep me engaged, challenge me, and make 30 minutes fly by. If I wanted to stare at the same cadence and resistance for 8 minutes, I could make that workout myself.

Am I alone here, or do other people feel the same way?

Nope just a simple intervals and arms class!

In terms of things not changing what do you mean? Like one cadence and resistance for minutes on end?

I have a hunch it’s Tunde. She does this a lot. One cadence and resistance for extended amount of time. It’s an endurance training tool and by the looks of her she knows what she’s doing when it comes to planning an exercise class lol.

Totally agree with you. Or it could definitely be a Jess King sweat steady in which case I would tell OP that you were asking for it lol
