• This is probably a really stupid question but, if one were starting from absolute zero, after having a kid and always being knackered and losing all desire to ride a bike, what type of turbo sessions would be best to start building up base fitness and losing the rapidly growing roll around one’s waist?

    Bonus points if you can point to a category or sessions on Wahoo SYSTM since that is what I have. And more bonus points if they are under an hour.

  • I'm not starting from zero, but I am starting from not using a bike more than once or twice in a few years, and not using a turbo for a long time, and I'm using Wahoo Systm, and I have kids, and I'm knackered, and I have a flubby muffin top.

    I like to do 2 to 3 sessions a week, but only 1 or 2 of them hard (using the TSS to give the best indicator if effort - 80+ for hard, 50ish for keeping legs moving), and usually keep to 30 min to 1 hour.

    I gravitate towards the sufferfest ones, as the video and music keeps me distracted.

    Current ones that I like:

    • The Bat
    • Blender (mini)
    • Butter
    • Tapers

    I have my (borrowed from Dammit) turbo set up in my office, so I can also just hop on when I'm working and spin for 10 minutes.
