First workout on the TacX Flow

First 45 minute workout on the TacX Flow finished and it felt great. It is not the same as being out in the fresh air with natural resistance from all the good climbs we have here, but it sure beats my old spinning bike any time a day :)

The setup was very easy and the self adjustment of the break seemed to work smoothly. For my first session I did a easy warm up and cool down period with a 4x4 min interval session in between. As this was my first time on the Flow I took it easy but I still worked up a good sweat and heart rate. I have not connected a heart rate monitor yet but hopefully I will be able to connect using the Polar heart rate monitor that is on it's way in the mail.

The TacX monitor is easy to use to control the resistance and it is nice and easy to see the performance on the display. I will have to use it a bit more before I can give a better review but for my first session it seemed quite good.

For the coming week I will try it out more and then start setting up a workout plan to follow. Hopefully I can get some good input on the web :)

P.S

Finished of with 25 minutes of Jillian 30 Day Shred :)
