    I traditionally did some cardio in the gym during the winter but I am starting to grow fond of the idea of splitting them up. The bike setup at home will help with that

      I haven't successfully done a full body workout yet in one gym visit. I take a few hours between upper and lower instead, but still on the same day. To the extent I'm able to do any leg stuff at all. Been doing wide stance dumbbell deadlifts lately as a compromise that my knees allow for. I can do those at home, so I don't need another gym visit. Then the cardio is a third workout that I try to space out. All of which is to say that it's nice to work from home.

        Yeah, it's quite convenient. I'll have a good cardio setup once the basement remodel is finished (started?), mostly my Airdyne and elliptical. I like machines that work both upper and lower body.

          I just ordered the Wahoo Kickr Rollr, which is a device designed to allow you to ride your bike indoors

          I really want to train all winter. It bores me to tears to ride indoors, but I think I could tolerate some HIIT which is what I need to get my speed to the next level.

          Cool, I have the Wahoo Kickr Core 2.

            Dropped 9 pounds in October. Probably my best month ever. Started counting calories for the first time, which probably helps a lot. High protein, low calorie diet, plus resistance training, and all your losses will be fat.

                Cool. What calorie limit are you aiming for?

                  I count backwards from maintenance rather than up from 0, and maintenance varies with the amount of walking and other exercise I do on a given day. I try to have a 1000 calorie deficit per day on average, which is what 9 pounds @ 3500 calories/pound for 30 days averages out to. So the calorie/exercise tracker I'm using seems pretty accurate.

                    Yep. Two pounds a week. Perfect.

                      That makes sense.
