Is the biking that you do, both outside and inside and what resistance do you use. I have an exercycle and looking to someone that will guide me on the resistance. God Bless!!!

i manly bike outside, when it gets down to mid 30's. Colder than that is tough. wind can be a problem. Bike on a 5 resistance unless into a strong wind. Will bike down to the towpath to get out of the wind, but rough pathway. I go with what is not painful.

@rorygrabowsky I use lower resistance (1 to 3 on a scale of 10) when I just want to get mild exercise and it is kind of like a warm up or an easy outdoor bike ride. I use the higher resistance 5 to 8 when I'm trying to build more strength and help with the cardio. I'm not sure there is any correct answer here. It depends on your current health and what you like to do (in my non medical opinion) 😊 Here's some information on the topic...
