How to do it
Stationary bike
Pedaling on a stationary or spin bike, low-impact cardio for warm-ups, intervals or aerobic work.
Form. Set the saddle so your knee stays slightly bent at the bottom, pedal at a steady cadence and adjust the resistance to the goal of the block.
Common mistake. Setting the saddle too low or too high, rocking the hips, rounding your back, or using a resistance that does not allow a clean cadence.
