My new training tool.....or at least it was tonight...

For Xmas, Grandma gave my 3 boys a Playstation video game.....man...I gotta tell ya....3:30 hours later....my session was over on the indoor trainer.

College Football 07 rocks for indoor trainer Z2 sessions...with the short Z3-4 during replays, etc...

Well....kinda cool to hijack the kids game console during the week (mom won't let them play Mon-Thurs)....and mix it up a bit from the DVD collection.

Does anyone else play games while training? Time fly's and I highly recommend it.

Can you play live / online? That really makes the time fly.

May I'm just uncoordinated, but how can you run and hold the controller at the same time?

...or ride, although it seems like riding would be easier.

Tiger Woods Golf on XBOX...I am better at it sitting on the couch, but for easy spins, it IS a nice change from tv or movies...Although, my in-laws bought me the Ultimate James Bond Collection for Christmas so I should be set for a while this winter...

If it's not fun...don't do it!!!

Not sure about the treadmill...that seems a bit crazy...

For riding...your aerobars support your skeleton/weight.....hands should be relaxed anyhow....just hold the controller...

I would recommend it if you are on rollers.

How do you play video games on the trainer? I think it's a lot harder than walking and chewing gum. I always find myself paying attention to one, the other, or neither, but never both.
