Yeah we know, CRAZY! An indoor bike workout that is fun? What!? Ben Greenfield, an expert triathlon trainer and ironman triathlete, came up with this workout. He calls it the HULU MOVIE ENDURANCE. You know what Hulu is right? So how does it work?
Hulu streams full movies for free but the catch is the 30 second commercials that block each movie like ten times. The great thing is how to incorporate these into a workout. Set up your laptop in front of your indoor trainer and stream your favorite movie. Plug in headphones if your trainer is too loud. Ride at your regular aerobic pace. When you hit the 30 second commercials, ride like the wind! Give it an all out 100% effort for 30 seconds. Stand up in the saddle and pedal! Go back to your regular pace as soon as the commercial is done. It is a great way to put in an endurance/speed workout while being entertained by a great movie. It is also a great rainy day alternative.
Not enough time for a 2 hour ride? Put on a 30 minute episode of your favorite comedy.
