So let’s talk about what’s slowly morphing into my living room’s most expensive laundry rack: the indoor trainer bike.
Is it just me, or do these things require a PhD to operate-and possibly a second mortgage to collect all the “must-have” gadgets? I got mine with the dream of becoming Tour de France material, but so far, my greatest achievement is making it halfway through a 20-minute “easy spin” on YouTube before an urgent craving for potato chips strikes.
Has anyone here actually stuck with an indoor trainer long-term without either:
A) turning their living room into a 24/7 wind tunnel,
B) using the handlebars as a coat rack, or
C) developing a love-hate relationship with a virtual trainer named “Chad”?
Share your survival tips. Does it get less soul-sucking, or is that just marketing? Also, cardio: why. Someone convince me not to sell mine and just jog in place while watching reruns-I suspect I’d sweat about the same.
