While participating in a group based indoor cycle class, remember that you always have the option of tailoring any ride to your desired intensity. Even if the other riders are doing intervals, you can still treat your body to some well deserved rest at a self-directed pace.

Personal training is a delicate balance of hard workouts and easy recovery, moderation and patience. Without hard training sessions, you won't take your fitness to the next level. Without rest, your body becomes over stressed, increasing your susceptibility to illness and injury. A Recovery ride has been shown to enhance feelings of relaxation, balance, and well-being. It's even considered an active form of meditation.
