Indoor Training

Agent, don't despair. i do 90% of my training on an indoor trainer using the downloaded dvd's and still manage to do an argus sub3.

what you are missing is the wind through your hair. (sit in front of a fan)

Someone posted these IDT workouts

 

https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/96980-idt-workouts/

 

All different type of workouts. Rollers, Hills, Slow Burning, Sweat Fest and more...

 

I downloaded it on my cellphone (MP3-format). It is a full on spinning class.

 

I find it quite challenging - but then again...... that makes it fun.

 

And a challenge always keep your mind busy while you body is working.

 

 

 

But do all the other tips fans, etc. Because yes.. you work hard and you will sweat

You are lucky - Set up in front of the TV, Rugby and Cricket starting, nothing like a close game to take your mind of the boredom. Once you get into it its actually not that bad. I have read that some of the European pros spend up to 6 hours a day in winter on their trainers.

Spinervals training dvds keep the boredom at bay for me.

Tried this, very good. sweated like a miner. thanks

oh come on don't be such a weenie and do the trainer thing. you will only get stronger in mind and body. i have found doing 1 minute intervals after 5-10 minute warmup followed by one leg spins of 30 seconds each breaks the boredom and gives you a super workout.

so 5-10 minute warmup

5 reps 30 seconds on leg and 30 seconds rest. (right leg 30 seconds both 30seconds left 30 seconds both 30 seconds)

followed by 20 1 minute intervals with 1 minute rest

and cool down of 5-10 minutes

you can always break up the 20 intervals with 10 rest 5 minuntes and another 10.

when i do muscular endurance i do 3 minute intervals with 1 minute rest x 10
