I was reading the Columbia Daily Tribune online this morning and came across an article called “All Weather Workout.” It talked about ways to workout when Mother Nature isn’t so nice. And certainly on a day like today with a slushy snow/rain mixture, you have to get creative. A section at the bottom mentioned investing in a virtual-reality cycling trainer. For people who typically go cycling to get in their workouts, this invention sounds pretty neat. Here’s what the article said:
“A virtual-reality trainer is a sophisticated cycling simulator. You insert your rear tire into a motorized roller and your front wheel into a frame that has a steering sensor. The system is wired to a computer programmed with software that shows a video of a bike route and controls pedal resistance to simulate hills and wind resistance on the course. A lot of cyclists say it makes time and miles go by faster.”
Would you try something like this?
