I got bored of the same old shyt.
My gym has indoor racquetball courts and i started playing handball again. shyt is no joke , felt like an old man 
. I get so winded, my ears popped 
. i also started using that giant TRX frame as a jungle gym 
shyt is mad fun tho. I still do the box jumps, weighted sled push, bike ride, and stair master.

What's your goals?
i ride with the the level 19 interval hill setting..i see people use no resistance and im like..im not a gym head by any means but unless your elderly, you gotta put some difficulty on that
shyt pushes me and even though i do stop and start again quite a bit, i feel its worth it for the 10 minutes i actually ride it
if there is little to no resistance on the bike then they are spinning. Spinning is a very very effective and intense workout. Its about keeping the heart rate up, keeping the cadence up as well as stamina and endurance. Anyone can push the pedals for 2 minutes, but to do it for 20 minutes will have you saying "fukk this shyt" and leaving the gym early.Level 19?
Could be hill training, which is wild. Basically riding with a high resistance so your legs and body get acclimated and dont gas out. 19 is a high ass setting for any bike.....and Ive rode and owned a standard exercise bike, a recumbent exercise bike and now own an indoor spin cycle.
Biking is fun as hell. Just gotta be careful, pick the right roads to ride on. I am growing to HATE riding indoors
riding indoors is practice for riding outdoors. Its much more fun to crank the resistance up and bang it out on high for 5 to 15 minutes then be able to
on your own floor rather than have to ride all the way back home, put the bike away, etc. I relocated in my city about a little over a year ago so to get to the bike trail and really travel anywhere from my house I have to hit some hills and im good at hills but i wasn't fully acclimated to the elevation differences that lead to and from my crib so ive had to crank the resistance and ride for 5 mins straight all the way to 15. sometimes crank it up a little more and ride 5 mins straight out of the saddle. now virtually any hills around me are butter, especially when you use the correct gears your legs are strong enough to maintain your cadence.5-15 mins sounds like a lot but to put it in perspective cats that do tour de france and bike professionally might do it for 2-4 hours.....you heard that right, ride at a high resistance for 2-4 hours. I don't mean start off light then turn up the resistance then turn it down then back up, I mean start low get warmed up (about 10 mins) then crank it up to a medium high level (which would have most of us already turning it back down) then continuing to increase while maintaining a cadence for a set amount of time for their workout.
