We have a few Spinervals dvds, and my wife and I both use them. Hill climbs, technique, time trial, etc. If I just listened to music, I'd just pedal steady-state and never push myself. I also have a few vhs videos that the manager at Bike Peddler gave me, because he didn't have a vhs player any more. A couple of the videos are old CycleOps workouts, with Troy whats-his-name who later did the Spinervals dvds. One of them has a young Tyler Hamilton, who they totally skipped over at the time because he was practically unknown then. Pretty funny. Sometimes I'll just watch a Jazz game and spin while the game's on and try to really push it during the commercials. Crummy intervals, I know, but oh, well. I don't eat anything special pre- or post-ride, but I have a full water bottle handy, and also keep a Clif bar nearby in case I need a lift. I typically work out between 30 - 75 min., depending on the workout I choose. What am I trying to accomplish? Just trying to keep up the legs and lungs a bit. Work on the trainer is so different from riding on the road or mountain that it's practically a different sport. |
