Burn Crazy Kilojoules

RIDING IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN BURNING KILOJOULES. But let’s face it, we probably all started riding to get rid of our excess baggage – and truth be told, we probably still carry some of it around. Here are three workouts that will torch more than 1 500kJ in 30 minutes.

1. Rock the Block

These sustained tough efforts increase your kilojoule burn, while helping build your tolerance to riding above your comfort level. (BURNS 1 500KJ)

Warm up for 2 to 3 minutes (exertion level 3-4)

Ramp up to threshold effort for 10 minutes (level 8)

Dial back down to easier tempo effort for 4 minutes (level 5-6)
