Make it count
Turn indoor effort into real training
The screen on a basic exercise bike rarely tells the whole story. Start by estimating your trainer power and watts per kg, set your power or heart-rate zones from a recent FTP or threshold test, then use the calorie, distance and weight-loss tools to track what each session actually does.
Numbers from a wheel-on trainer or gym bike are estimates, so treat them as a consistent yardstick rather than a lab reading. Compared week to week they show progress clearly, which is exactly what keeps indoor training motivating through the off-season.
