Benefits of Using a Computrainer

There are many benefits to using the Computrainer. Here are a few:

1. When using a designed course, such as Ironman Wisconsin, there is absolutely no coasting during the descents. The cycling muscles are engaged the entire ride.

2. The choice of designed courses allows you to complete different workouts, ie hill repeats on IM Wisconsin, interval training on a flat Florida 70.3 course.

3. An FTP test provides you with threshold data in watts for detailed workouts and transfers well to your own powermeter.

4. Its safe. During the week there may be a lot of traffic on your favorite route. Completing an indoor ride will reduce the chances of an accident.

5. The Spin Scan feature helps you determine weaknesses in your pedal stroke and individual leg strength.
