Just pick a combination of gearing and tension to get the workout you're looking for. My trainer (Cycleops Fluid) has no tension adjustment, so I use only the gears to set the resistance.

I mix it up. i'll do seated high tension intervals of up to 6 minutes in length, followed by a spin, followed by a standing interval of up to 6 minutes. I use 6 minutes because that's the longest song I have at the right tempo.
