Synopsis

Time on the trainer can begin to feel stale without goals to ride toward and a variety of rides to choose from. "Workouts in a Binder[registered] for Indoor Cycling" promises to rescue indoor rides. Choose from 60 workouts - each one tackles a different objective with enough variety to keep indoor sessions fun and productive.By selecting one of the four training plans in the book, workouts can be peppered into any personal program as needed. Each set allows performance to be tracked by using heart rate, perceived exertion, power output, or a combination of all three.And because indoor rides are inevitable, these workouts are sweatproof and compact enough to travel. The only problem is now there's no excuse for bagging a ride on a rainy day.

Here is an entire book devoted to making indoor rides more interesting and productive for cyclists and triathletes. You’ll find 60 workouts and 6 training plans packed into this compact, sweatproof format.

Indoor workouts on trainers and spin bikes are great opportunities to isolate weaknesses and work on drills. Each workout in this binder allows you to use heart rate, perceived exertion, power output, or a combination of all three methods to better track your performance. Focusing on particular skills is easy because the workouts are categorized by objective: endurance, force, speed skills, muscular endurance, anaerobic endurance, and power.
