Turbo training

[biggs682]

just said yes to my first turbo trainer in an aim to get a bit fitter , so i am intending to start off with 2 or 3 half an hr sessions per week .

this is on top of my measly 7 miles a day commuting , and the occasional early weekend 10 miler .

the fun starts next week

Faith No More's 'King for a day....' Helps greatly I find.

I'd like to get a Turbo trainer, but too much money just now...

The album, or the track? 'Digging the Grave' is a better turbo track...

Random Access Memories final track - Contact - makes a stupendously good workout tune.

Shame that the rest of the album is terrible. They just can't produce anything like HBFS

'Get out' gets me revving.

It's a more pop sound. More mainstream, but I wouldn't call it terrible.

Mediocre is my final offer

have had the wicked idea of strapping family Tandem to turbo so 2 of us can exercise at same tine

2 x 30 min solo sessions and ok not the same as road riding but is easier in current weather conditions

I've just started using my turbo trainer again. I had good intentions of keeping on commuting to work throughout the winter and I will when I can, but when it's blowing a gale and raining like it is so often in Cumbria I will give it a miss.

I have tried listening to music on it but it's still boring. I am awaiting delivery of a music stand to put my tablet on and watch some videos on it, hopefully this will add some interest to the monotony of this activity

I've been thinking of getting a turbo trainer and have heard they can be boring but after a quick search there are some free turbo training websites out there with interval training, don't know if they are any good but I'm sure someone can answer that

I used to use a free website that bleeped when the interval was over. I stopped using it when I bought my first sufferfest video much more fun and much harder to lose concentration on the interval IMHO. I have tried watching videos and tv/youtube/dvds etc but I get bored and start clock watching after 15mins.
