I have a smart turbo which I use when its pants outside. Have just bought a C2 with PM5. Want to lose a few lbs and assume intervals are best if done regularly. Has anyone any tips re rest and duration of intervals or effectice tricking of the body to burn fat?
Cheers

I use the [url= https://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/the-pete-plan/ ]Pete Plan[/url] when I have periods of time to get into rowing. You can follow it or cherry pick some of the sessions. 8 x 500m with 3.5 min rest intervals is my favourite. I find it helps a lot with my mtb fitness as well.
only use my C2 for warmups/cooldowns when lifting weights now since getting a smart turbo & Zwift! When I did use it for intervals though I just did "tabata" style (20s full chat, 10s recovery, 8 sets, vomit)
Given limited time I'd always now choose a Zwift sesh as it's more fun & more relevant to cycling (obviously!) however I can still see the appeal of the erg for more "all round" fitness.
tbh although obviously there is crossover I focus on diet for losing weight & exercise for fitness and try to keep the two separated to some extent (i.e. I wouldn't be looking at exercises specifically to lose weight).
Cheer for the input.
