Two and a half minutes.

Once a person, when you're pedaling at your max and you're starting to feel fatigue, switch that down. So now you're lowering your resistance. So two and a half minutes recovering. And I know it feels difficult to breathe right now, but once a person, when you're pedaling at your maps and you're starting to feel fatigued and you're wearing a mask, it temporarily might feel slightly restricted. But as soon as we turn it back down, it becomes a lot easier. Sa.
