Indoor training has moved on quickly in the last decade or so, and with the advent of smart trainers, there’s far more to motivate you to jump on the bike and put in some hard efforts.
You could say that smart trainers have completely transformed indoor training. Not only are these modern turbos, bikes and rollers more advanced in themselves — think built-in power meters, wireless connection protocols, broad compatibility and low noise levels — they also connect to a wide range of apps and training software that help you workout more effectively or even take you into a virtual world where you can race and ride against like-minded people. A smart trainer or smart bike, such as the Zwift Ride, will set you back a bit more than a ‘classic’ trainer, but you’ll probably dread indoor cycling far less and, consequently, see far bigger fitness gains.
