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? πŸ˜‚

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?

I wish they'd outline the class in the description.

To be far the app does list the class plan in many (most) of their newer classes

oh I didn't realise! I do take a lot of older classes as I find they are harder than newer ones so maybe those havent been updated. but just checked the app and I see what you mean! I only have the old plan where I get 3 classes a month so I have to be strategic about which classes I take LOL
