Howdy,

We recently purchased a spin bike and I am searching for some different home based spinning ideas. As I normally only use the spin bike once a week, on a Friday (This to replace the panic of cycling past pubs & bottle stores on the way home) I want to get the most out of my session.

I’ve no idea how to properly train on a spin bike! I’m mainly interested in working on jumping out of the saddle. I guess if I’m able to target specific muscles, I’d like to work on my hammies. How much time do I need to spend on the spin bike each time?

Can i use a coach troy dvd for this?

Any thoughts and would be wonderful.

:)

Yes, you can use Coach Troy. That's exactly what it's for.

1+ on using Coach Troy's dvds. I find that they make the time go much faster than listening to music or just watching tv.

And it helps to be able to address someone specific with the swearing. :D:p

Coach Troy's DVDs are pretty good and as someone above me posted it goes by faster then listening to a radio. I usually wear my HR monitor too to make sure I am getting a good cardio workout. Have fun!!!:D
