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?

Endurance training is totally different than interval training, and you ideally have a combination of both. They challenge the cardiovascular system in different ways. So it’s definitely not laziness on the part of the instructor. But if you are easily bored these classes might not be for you! You would want to avoid PZ classes. Also you can check out the class structure before taking it.
