You'll need a fan. In fact, you'll probably need several really big fans. Ideally, you want some way of turning the fans on while you're riding a bike. It can be chilly when you first start, but by the time you've warmed up you'll want some air movement. In fact, overheating can be a real problem doing HIIT on a stationary bike. To prevent overheating, your subconscious will reduce muscle recruitment well ahead of serious problems arising, so you may feel weak before you feel hot. One approach to cooling that I found helpful is to put a remote-control adapter onto my box fans. This is much cheaper than buying a fan with a remote control, and also makes it easier to control up to 5 fans from one remote. I got the [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5JSAHM Etekcity Five Pack Remote Control] which has 2 remote controls, and 5 power adapters. This allows me to start working out without any air movement, and gradually increase the number of fans as a warm-up. <gallery widths=300px heights=300px class="center">File:Remote Fan2.jpgFile:Remote Fan3.jpgFile:Remote Fan1.jpg</gallery>Having some water handy is also a good idea. You're unlikely to dehydrate much during a short HIIT session, but I find the heavy breathing tends to try my throat out. Chewing on a mint can help a little by getting the saliva flowing, as saliva is far more lubricating than water.=Kickr Snap Response Times=TabataOff peak time – 17, 13, 18, 15, 15, Bottom trough time – 5, 2, 8, 5, 4Full power time– 13, 16, 15, 12, 15, 11

Cyclists have been using the power meters of the years, and have a number of terms that are likely to be unfamiliar to runners.
