Pedaling while standing is the end boss... my training diary entry from May 8 2026

(Here is another photo from my hike to the Kehlstein. It shows the tunnel leading to the elevator, which takes you up to the Kehlsteinhaus. Usually, quite a few people are queuing here; however, since the Kehlsteinhaus hadn't opened yet, it was completely deserted, and I was able to snap this shot.)

Hi Actifitters,

yesterday, I actually intended to treat myself to a less strenuous indoor cycling session. However, when selecting my workout, I focused primarily on the required wattage rather than on the specific details of the session itself. I soon found out exactly what that entailed once the workout began: I was required to pedal while standing—maintaining my rhythm throughout—during short intervals that started at 20 seconds, later increasing to 30, 45, and finally 60 seconds.

I can't believe how hard it is to pedal while standing up when you're not used to it. I barely made it through any of the blocks to the end without sitting back down on the saddle prematurely.

Now I know—among other things—what I still need to work on a great deal. I’m curious to see if it goes better next time.

As soon as this post is published, I’ll be hopping right back in the saddle. Garmin is suggesting a two-hour workout to improve my base endurance, so I’ll likely follow that recommendation. Since I’m heading to a birthday party later—complete with plenty of cake and barbecue—it certainly won’t hurt to burn off a few calories beforehand.

When I used to do spinning and they made us pedal standing up, it was torture until you got used to it.
The idea of burning calories so we could enjoy the meal at the get-together without feeling guilty was brilliant.

Haben wir mal beim Crossfit auf den Airbikes gemacht. Die Sitze wurden dafür einfach rausgenommen.

Ohne Sitz wäre das bei mir wohl relativ schnell in einem schmerzhaften Sturz vom Rad geendet. ;)
