TE December Indoor Cycling Challenge

I'm in!

I will put an hour goal down - but I'm modeling my personal challenge after the Spinervals challenge and will check in here to remain accountable. If I meet the hourly goal, great - but my goal is to get myself more used to riding and get rid of the excuses. To that end - I am planning to ride the trainer or outside every day in December. Even if it's 2 miles or 15 minutes on the trainer. Whatever - as long as it's riding. I am giving myself 4 rest days for the month - in part to accommodate a trip that may preclude riding (since we won't be staying in a hotel with a gym probably) and in part to make sure I don't kill myself.

I am in also as I am preparing myself to ride no less than 300 days in 2012 beginning Jan. 1st. no less than 6.2 mi.

That's a cool goal! I might have to borrow that for 2012.:)

I'm going through some major life changes (for the best, but very scary), and I'm trying to get myself in a better place fitness wise to best prepare myself!

Oooooh, I LIKE this one :) I may have to consider a version of this for myself. Having a trainer makes this possible!

I cannot take credit for the 300 days of cycling idea. I got it from another forum:o

Count me in too please. No snow here. Only cold. So, no snowshoeing or x-country skiing, yet, to keep me motivated for off-season fitness. Thanks for doing this! :)

I think I need this motivation. Please count me in.

Count me in. My goal will be 24 hours. I'll also be running a lot in December, so getting in my bike time will be a challenge!

sending PM for link...

So how do we put our entries in? Just calculate the % and add to it as we accumulate in the column next to the starting date?

Sorry couldn't type more early had kids chattering in my ear to use my puter.:rolleyes:

Me too, please! Thanks for starting this. I've had a goal of 15 min. 3X a week but it has been challenging to set aside the time!

As you put in your hours and minutes it will automatically calculate the percentage for you. I like to put it in as I go, so I can see my percentages go up. :p

This is a GREAT idea. I have the hardest time staying on the trainer more than 45 minutes at a time. Maybe this will give me some incentive....

I've noticed this same problem, the first 45 minutes aren't a problem, it is staying on there longer than that. I am hoping this challenge will help me in more than one way, even if I do wind up having to moderate it a bit due to my neck injury.

I will be doing stationary bike at my gym , would love spinning classes but because of the schedule I am unable to take them..so I am gonna have to keep doing just the stationary bike and the other cardio machines. I Do minimum of 30 intense minutes 5-7 days a week plus some other 15-20 minutes at a different cardio machine + 30 strenght workout and abs.
