Now you're talking my Jam!
You can do what I do on the stationary bike. It works the same if it's on a treadmill or a bicycle. What I do was developed by McMaster university and is the equivalent of 50 minutes of moderate intensity exercise.
It's called the one minute workout. (It really takes 10 minutes)
The intervals are.
2 minute warm up.
20 second sprint
2 minute rest
20 second sprint
2 minute rest
20 second sprint
3 minute cool down
Now for the sprints you have to really sprint. It's a full blow 100% max output. Imagine you need to outrun a falling building. That kind of sprint. In the rest period you're not just standing resting, but you're doing very low intensity walking.
You can get more info from the book:

If those intervals are too easy, you can start to reduce rest time and increase sprint time.
Edit: I created my own interval timer app for this sort of stuff. I'll message you the url if you're interested. But there are other apps available that are good for timing.
I've been using my Jaybird x3 for a little over a year now and love them. I've never had a problem with them slipping or falling out. They have nice in-ear components to get a solid grip, and you can adjust the band length to keep things tight and prevent swinging (this part is a pain to do, but worth it).
I've also heard good things about trekz, and have wanted to try them out.
At $21, I took a chance on this one and have been perfectly happy with it.
Actually I have been blown away with it but I have been jaded by trying a few utterly useless optical wrist sensors.
It occasionally goes a bit wonky for up to a few minutes (readings of like 200 bpm) but it works itself out. It has a good backlight. I don't really use any of the other features like the modes so I can't comment on those. I've haven't had to change a battery but I'm only 3 months in. Waterproof has been valid but I've only tested it in heavy rain.
I have a set of these : https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-BackBeat-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00P89AVRU/
They are great for the gym/running. They never fall out, have good battery life, and can get seriously wet (I even shower in them). I've had my pair for over a year, my wife has had hers for about 6 months. No problems with either set.
