Buy a smart turbo as it does all the clever shit and makes TrainerRoad or similar more purposeful.

I went for a similar low-tech setup. I got the lifeline tt-02 fluid, use a garmin hr strap with my watch or bike computer to record.
It seems fine, slightly lower resistance than I'd have expected maybe. -
If you want to burn fat in a few spare hours a week get a smart trainer and do some nasty intervals. HIIT and the like

I went for a totally different option. Elite Arion Mag rollers (£100 from ebay). Although I now also have a Saris H3 (which I love), the rollers would always be my choice for a quick spin to burn some calories.

Ok, so I need to venture into the whole turbo thing. Having kids means that I don’t often have time to actually take the bike outside, but have enough pockets of time that I can easily do a quick spin and help burn some calories.
I’m not a serious cyclist, so don’t really care about power output and blah. Can’t see myself getting into zwift or similar. Just need to be able to measure my heart rate and estimate calories burnt. I’m assuming all I need is a simple turbo paired with some kind of app. Can anyone recommend either a decent turbo or the app that might do the trick?
