Tl;dr - need tips on resistance settings with stationary bike
Hello all! In order to get some exercise in on the evenings or when it's hard outside I got a stationary bike. The way I typically use it while playing video games drive my hands are generally free. I tend to put the resistance up to 8 (full resistance) and pedal continuously for a few hours. Occasionally i will do "sprints" during a few cut scenes to give myself a challenge mid way. Each video game session ranges from 2-4 hours with about two or three sprints scattered. I've also got my five pounds weights to do some upper body exercises occasionally during loading screens. I obviously take breaks and so far it hasn't been too rough on my bum (bike seats suck no matter how you make em!)
Is it better to lower the resistance and pedal faster or should I keep up with the high resistance? Or should I mix it up occasionally throughout the session?
