Spinning, Zwift and Road Cycling.

This week I have been doing three types of cycling: Spinning, Zwift and actual road cycling.

So the weather here has not been great but that is no reason not to get some riding in. I started the week with my usual spinning sessions down at my local gym. 

I get the feeling that spinning has a bit of an image problem amongst many cyclists but it is no longer the domain of middle aged ladies in lycra and bored housewives. If you find the right class and instructor, it can be an excellent way of getting a good workout in a very compact, disciplined environment.

Next on my list was some Zwift sessions. Being kind of new to this on-line virtual reality app I am still getting to grips with it but, so far, I'm really enjoying it. One of the main advantages of Zwift is that it is very accessible and there is a competitive element. Plus, it is just great fun. 

And finally, I managed a very short road ride. Only 20kms but it was still out on the road.Road cycling is, of course, the original and the best type of cycling for an all round experience.  

Now, although all three of my sessions were, essentially, cycling, they aren't all equal in terms of intensity. Each one has its own benefits but  also has elements that make them slightly easier or harder than the others.
