This week’s bike workout comes from coach Stephanie Liles of TriAttic in Tallahassee, Fla. “This is a great workout to get your heart rate up and work hard,” Liles says. “If you do not have a bike computer, you can count one leg to see how many times your knee comes up [one full revolution] in 10 seconds, then multiply by 6. That is your RPM.”
