Harry Potter Posted November 10, 2010 Share Training on a stationary trainer is hard and need extreme self discipline, Before you get onto the trainer you should have a specific goal, and stick to it,Example. 10 min warm-up. 3 min at 85 cadence (any gear that suits you)2min at 95 cadence1min at 105 cadence Recover for 5 min (easy pedalling) Do this three times After your last rest see for how long can you keep a cadence of 120, if it is easy, then try 130 next time Their you go (33 min +) easy PS. get a fan to keep you cool Edited November 10, 2010 by Feniks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Luke. Posted November 10, 2010 Share I took out every James Bond film ever made on 7 day rental - slap one on and do an interval everytime there is an action scene or Bond scores. You won't get bored. Try to cycle through the whole movie. Get a thick bath mat to soke up the sweat, otherwise you won't be as lucky with the lady in your life as Bond is.

Tankman Posted November 10, 2010 Share Does anybody have ideas or tricks they use to help forget about time and get a good workout out of it? Yea, ride you bike the way you are supposed to! Outside, freedom, tar, trail, wind, rain, fast, slow, up, down, left or right! Now stop drinking pink drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Taylor Posted November 10, 2010 Share make sure you have a program for spinning. go to gym and note what the instructor does, then do the same at home. Go to Bicycling web site and look for programs. Ask Cyclelab for a program. But I also find that once you have a program in your head, you get bored, just watch TV then. Thats why I use rollers, so I have to concentrate so as not to fall off. But good luck. If you need a program, let me know, I have a few noted down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL7 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Action movies for me, as the noise of the IDT makes hearing the dialogue a problem. Also a structured programme helps - keeps you focused on training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Here's the sad news: Nothing really helps (me at leat) Have tried music, watching comedy series, drama serious, movies. Think my record was 40min. Next time I'll try a cycling movie, like breaking away, but I'd rather just go for a run or something if I'm unable to go ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzer Posted November 10, 2010 Share DEPECHE MODE does it for me. Also I PVR'd the entire Tour this year and like to watch while I pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesser Posted November 10, 2010 Share If your A.D.D, 30min!!! your doing well! Agreed, going 30 minutes to start is pretty good. I either watch movies (nothing with a lot of dialogue, subtitled action movies are best) or listen to reallyobnoxious music. Keeping up the mental drive to pedal is the hardest part for me.

Willehond Posted November 10, 2010 Share for a good rollers session I sit in the big ring, keep an average speed of 40+ average cadance of 100+ and every 5mins I change a gear heavier, when I reach the bottom of my cassette I start coming back up (finishing on lighter spining gets the lactate out) I'm considerng getting rollers, but with no resistance, can you do real power intervals? What kind of wattage can you reach on rollers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
