Good well fitted bike: Check
Cyclops Fluid Trainer: Check
Computer with HRM, rear wheel speed, and cadence: Check
A way to track my progress (GTC): Check
I have all the gear, now I need a plan and to know how to implement it.
Stats:
Age: 38
Weight: 255
Resting Heart Rate: 55
Doing the math I should be:
Max: 182
Where I get messed up is the zones:
- how to measure them (seen a few % rates).
- how to implement them (insert them into a 30, 60, or 90 minute session on the trainer).
I imagine one would do x minutes at zone1, then x minutes at zone2, etc. I have absolutely no idea how many minutes at what zone, etc for a given work out.
My goals are to plow off the weight. I have my rig setup in the living room and an extremely supportive wife - I have everything I need except the knowledge.
Please help.
