Were you on rollers? It took me a long time to find my balance on those things. I had to set them up in a door frame for the first couple of months just in case I lost control and let my wheels slipped off the side. I've switched over to a clamped-in model because it lets me do more (read, watch movies, etc.) while working out. Also, I find I need to stand up once in a while to prevent numbness, which I was never able to do on the rollers.

Disgusted after a week of poor eating after the holidays, I climbed on my trainer for 2 episodes of The West Wing last week. It passed the time, but I think music helps me keep up my cadence up. One thing about rollers (vs. other trainers)--they do help your technique.

Does anyone else have thoughts on rollers? I'm wondering if I should mix it up and suffer through a few workouts on them once in a while.
