The fitness club Impact Athletics in Cary, where I am a member has some interactive exercise bikes. They are called Expresso fitness bikes. You create a user ID and password and sign in each time you ride. You have the choice of 30 plus different routes with distances from 1-20 miles and easy to extreme courses. The nice thing about riding while following the course, is you stay motivated by chasing down other riders or a pacer or a personal ghost from a previous ride over the same course. The software keep track of your times, mileage, heart rate, wattage power and a national ranking and club ranking. I find it easier to push a workout if I have a challenge. The bike have gearing similar to a road bike and a good feel. You can even clip in with your bike shoes. Yesterday's workout:
1 mile warm up in bike
7 mile moderate course in 23:12
ranked 75 out of 275
wattage 235
2 mile warm down
100 crunches
250 jump rope
20 deep walking lunges
25 olympic style clean and press lifts with 50 lbs
10 dips
25 squat thrusts with physio ball
50 medicine balls tosses with C while on Bosu ball
