Basically do people use timers? An app that prompts you when to shift to a different speed or exercise/resistance? Watch the clock?

As title says, no idea how this might work. I found workout plans, but they are like "so many minutes doing this thing, then switch to the next thing" and I really suck at watching the clock when working out.

I like the classes locally but I'm not able to get to them with my schedule.

I usually set a timer, then focus on keeping a certain RPM until the timer goes off.

When I was in HS I ran cross country, and the coach had us do a running workout that involved staying right on the edge between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. You can tell you’ve entered anaerobic respiration because your muscles start to burn.

That kind of thing is really useful for developing the ability to work out self-directed. Being able to sense when your body is in its sweet spot is a valuable skill.
