what do you listen to on the exercise bike

[Licramite]

one thing I really miss on my bike is being able to listen to music.
occasionally if off road I put my headphones on, but normally its a not on.
(and I shake my head in wonder at cyclist I see in traffic with them on)

so I have conclusive proof you boogy faster to music, on my exercise bike I blast along.
(I set the fan up behind me to give me a bit of a tail wind and stops me melting)

so if you do to - what do you listen to?
my favourate burn music is ZeeZeetop , tibetan tecno, gladiatior. + the the music from acopolipse now.

Usually the sound of my own panting and a choice selection of expletives!

yes, you will definitely pedal faster on a static bike with a tail wind...

This is great workout music:

It's a free downloadable non-stop 40min mix comprising of tunes from old-school combat films! I love it.

I watch the TV - usually cooking programmes

that is not how you burn the miles, my wife (bless her) is the same, she reads a book. she says its boring just pedelling.
I stuck my headphones on her (turned it down - I like it loud) and she did get it. she speeded up to almost break out in a sweat. (she doesn,t like sweating).
me I look like Ive just come out he the shower , steaming and socking wet.

I try to do 2 lots of 10k, pedalling at about 20mph, does make me sweat! I guess it depends why you are doing this - I find it's better than just sitting and watching TV and eating. I can't ride outdoors right now, so it's better than nowt!

 

[Licramite]

oh - it must be nigella your watching. - I see.

I think I,ve done more miles on the exercise bike this year than on my outdoor bike

 

[vickster]

Why would watching Nigella make me sweat?

You need to get outside more if that is so. I have only just got back on the exercise bike as I cannot ride outside, although may try a few miles tomorrow

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Get some Rocky 4 soundtrack in there and pedal like never before.
And don't forget to make as much grunting and overacted pain noises during your workout.

Do I want to admit to this?
but currently I am listening to one of those audiofuel tracks which has the music beat to the rpm on a set workout. I need all the help I can get... but have to admit when i did the 1hr session, I was not only exhausted, but dripping wet, my hair wetter than if I had taken a shower and my top soaked (white cotton T shirt was probably not the best move given I'm female but I did have the blind down OH has at work so he missed that treat!) Taken about 3 days to recover from it. All done whilst watching a film on TV...
think it would have been drier to have gone out in the rain personally and I might have been able to ride again sooner (recovering from a leg injury).

Downloaded vids of cycling with music from you tube and transferred them to the phone.

i don't use a exercise bike since i find them incredibly boring to use even listening to music or watching TV.

when i listen to music i normally just put my whole music collection on shuffle so i get a little of everything
