Basically do people use timers? An app that prompts you when to shift to a different speed or exercise/resistance? Watch the clock?

As title says, no idea how this might work. I found workout plans, but they are like "so many minutes doing this thing, then switch to the next thing" and I really suck at watching the clock when working out.

I like the classes locally but I'm not able to get to them with my schedule.

Why so complicated? You just get on and do what you want as long as you feel like it. Want to go fast? Go fast. Want to go up the hill? Turn up the resistance. Just want to pedal along for a while? Just pedal.

Of course you can set yourself times and goals, if that makes it more effective for you, but you don't have to make it too hard for yourself by implementing rules.

I get that, and I'm kinda trying to see how to best use my limited time in the mornings for workouts. I can't lift weights anymore due to joint issues, so I'm trying to keep the sexy legs I earned!
