Sprinting doesn't just burn calories during the ride; it ignites your metabolism for 24 hours. Calculate your total "Work Burn" plus "Afterburn" to see the true value of your HIIT session.

🕑 Steady state is valuable for base fitness, but the afterburn window stays nearly closed. Your metabolism returns to baseline within minutes of finishing.
Pedalynx · EPOC estimates are approximate. Individual results vary with fitness level, diet and training history.
The numbers prove that indoor sprints burn calories while you sleep—but only if you do them right. The Alchemist’s Formula isn’t just about sprinting; it’s about the specific combination of mental focus and precision timing that triggers the effect.
You have three elements now. A primed nervous system. A metabolism being retrained at the cellular level. Precision power delivery that compounds across weeks. The indoor cycling sprint is your crucible — the container where these three stop being separate things. It’s whether you’ll keep treating your sessions as something to endure — or finally start designing them as something to master. Those aren’t the same activity. They never were.
