I was supposed to hit the roads today for a training ride , but we were at a friends child’s birthday party that ran late, and I had a little too much chocolate cake. Add in that it was super cold today, and I didn’t much feel like riding.

When we got home, I contemplated what to do and decided on the trainer. I
have my trainer set up in the basement and it was pretty chilly down there. I actually skipped the fan today and that treated me right. In all I “rode” for am hour. There was a 5 minute warmup, a 50 minute ride, then a 5 minute cooldown spin. I downed a whole water bottle along the way too.

I I pushed hard today, and felt pretty good about my workout. trialso ed doing some standing spins that burned and felt horrible. I guess I need to do those more often. 🙂

I would like to learn how to effectively use my trainer though. I figure there are some workouts I could be doing that would be more effective than sitting and spinning for an hour.
