High-intensity interval training (HIIT) on an Airdyne bike, involving short bursts of hard effort (20-30 seconds) followed by rest (10 seconds), can be completed in approximately seven minutes and elicits strong subjective feelings of difficulty followed by post-exercise well-being.

“I now do this thing where I hop on the Airdine bike, the one with the handles, and I'll go warm up a minute and I'll go hard for 20, 30 seconds, and then rest 10 seconds and just repeat. And it's over in like seven minutes. But it's amazing where the brain goes. You're like, I hate this. I want to get off this thing. But afterwards, it feels pretty great.”
