As a new Bike+ owner for 18 days, I took my 20th ride today and I am wondering what parameters affect the output. Today I took a Matt Wilpers - Peloton advanced beginner class (From Wed 8/19/20) where he focused on levels and called for staying below 150 on the output. I used the Bike+ auto-follow so my resistance was right in the center of his range and I pretty much kept in the upper half of his cadence range. He was saying stay below 150 and I was at like 75. When he called for the highest 40-50 resistance my bike set to 45 and my output was like 100 when I was near the top of the speed range. I have seen the comments about the + being harder, but I am wondering how much attention I should give to the outputs they mention in class.
I should note as an old out of shape guy who did his first exercise in years 20 days ago, that I am staying in a good range for me. I try to keep my HR in the 70-80% range. I am assuming it will get easier to have higher output over time.
