I spent close to an hour on a recumbent bike not pushing myself hard but doing easy intervals. I used the Orangetheory app for the first time on the bike.

26 minutes in Green zone which is heart rate Zone 3

20 minutes in Blue zone which is heart rate Zone 2

"Green Zone (71-83% Maximum Heart Rate) – In this zone, you have reached a challenging but doable pace. This is what Orangetheory categorizes as “Base Pace,” a pace you can maintain for 20-30 total minutes. Your body starts to burn fat and carbohydrates evenly."

I was at the bottom of Green zone, though, at 71-75%.

In part it was become I do not know how to reach Orange zone on a recumbent bike. In part it was because I had anxiety with that uncomfortable feeling in my heart and I did not want to exacerbate it by pushing myself. My anxiety spiked because today my abnormal and painful hunger returned after 4 days of normal satiety.
