I will resolve to ⅔ share on the top market selected one, with the rest split between the two answers numerically closest to it. I currently bike 45 minutes 4 times per week at the highest resistance on my bike (8 settings) Please give answers in the form [times]:[days](:[resistance]). Resistance not given assumes it will remain at 8. The current ratio would be written as 4:7

^^This would be my standard prescription for anyone wanting to some endurance sport for health and joy, but with some seriousness. In my experience*, most people underestimate how much room for endurance improvement there is by just doing more low-intensity work. Reducing the intensity will help and enable increasing the density. I would advise building up to that schedule, i.e., build to 6:7 from your current 4:7. (*Long-time endurance athlete; but running, not biking, so take my advice with a grain of salt.)

How many weeks have you been doing the 45min 4:7:8 schedule? What are your health goals and why are you thinking of increasing it? If the goal is made more difficult and you fail to achieve it, what will your goal for the next week be?

@Charlie the better part of a year. Other than when I was sick I think it has been a year. Mostly my goals are to improve mental health. Weight loss is a minor side benefit, as well as any improvements to the look of my butt. If I fail to achieve the goal, I probably try again for the next week. If this happens 3 times in a row I would revert, then try the next most strenuous
