- 15 minute warm up (ride on rollers)
I did a pre-yoga "warm up" ride on rollers (will do an actual ride tomorrow). I'm trying to figure out this whole warm up thing on rollers before doing any actual physical activities. I'm very bad at doing warm ups because I'm extremely lazy doing them even though I know that I need to do them. Of all the brands that I looked at, they all said that rollers were really good for warm ups and recovery rides. I was interested in using mine for recovery rides and I really liked the idea of doing a warm up on these before runs. I saw a comment for a video from someone who created it to show how to ride rollers and the person (viewer) said that doing a warm up on his trainer before his runs was very beneficial. So I knew exactly what I was doing and why I got rollers (and why I got Tacx). After I got my rollers and did a ride or so on them, I saw somewhere online that doing speed work like tempo and sprint repeats (or interval training) on rollers was great. I really hate doing speed work, so it will take a lot of convincing and work for me to do any speed work, but someone suggested that I did speed work if I wanted to keep up with my faster friends which is something that I want to do.
