I figure 3 days of HIIT a week and 2 leisurely 1 hour rides should get it done? I have a full season of Arrow to watch on Netflix, 25 episodes I think.
One hour on a trainer is tough mentally. If you can teach yourself to zone out and pay attention to something else, such as your season of Arrow then it's doable. I'm just now getting on my trainer more (as weather sucks) and getting used to going nowhere while watching movies, etc.
