Isolated Leg Training Intervals...Part 3


Yes. It takes three blog posts to break down this one workout. It can be complicated or confusing. I want you to get it right.

I created a short video to help you with the Isolated Leg Training Workout. After a good warm-up, I do a segment of time with each leg. Then pedal with both legs for a short time just to get a rhythm back and then repeat the ILT interval.

In this video, I’m doing 25 seconds with each leg. When you include the time fumbling with pedals, it takes a full minute to complete both legs. This makes it easy to use a stop-watch to keep track of how much you have done.

Coordinating your intervals with a stopwatch makes this workout much easier. My personal workout often looks like this:
01:00 start Warm-Up
10:00 Start Right Leg
11:00 Start Left Leg
12:00 Use both Legs
13:00 Start Right Leg
14:00 Start Left Leg
15:00 Use both Legs
16:00 Start Right Leg
17:00 Start Left Leg
18:00 Use both Legs
19:00 Start Right Leg
20:00 Start Left Leg
21:00 Use both Legs
22:00 Start Right Leg
23:00 Start Left Leg
24:00 Use both Legs
25:00 Start Right Leg
26:00 Start Left Leg
27:00 Use both Legs
28:00 Start Right Leg
29:00 Start Left Leg
30:00 Start Cool-Down
40:00 Complete Workout

I hope this helps you to visualize how this workout should be done. Let me know if you have any questions.
