I’m finding the GCN turbo vids quite good. Did the 30 min climbing one yesterday and was suitably ready to vom at the end.
On the turbo I need to do one of two things. Long tempo sessions with a box set to distract myself from the mind numbing drugery of it (with alarms set on the Garmin to stop me dropping out of my HR or cadence zones)
Shorter focused interval or phased type sessions where I focus on nothing but the effort. Here having a trainer type video such as the GCN vids really helps to push it.
I find lights a sensible alternative to the turbo.
Lights are great but I’d need a flame thrower to melt the ice in front of me at the moment. The whole place is like an ice rink and no fun at all on any 2 wheeled machine.
