  1. I'm moving into the club mode for the winter. As is always the problem with me
    when working out indoors, getting way over heated and sweating, and then just
    plain way to uncomfortable.

    My question is does anyone out there sell at least a 6" fan that runs on
    batteries and is of the clip on type? I have seen very small fans, but I need
    one large enough to actually move some air. They are no outlets near the
    equipment to plug into.

    Thanks

    Oooh! Me! I know the answer to this one!

    Get some lights and get out there, as nature intended :-)

    Hook up your workout machine to a generator that drives a fan so the
    harder you work the more breeze you get, just like on a real bike.

    Hmmph. My daughter has a gym membership and goes about every other day
    but dad, the crazy bike rider is the one who is in shape. Go figure.
    The exercise that is fun is the one that gets done. She is a
    dangerously good kick boxer but still can't get down to that model
    weight she seems to think she needs to get down to. At 5'8" she is
    taller than her 5'7" dad and much larger hands and feet so she is
    never going to be a 98 pound Twiggy. Just don't [censored] her off after
    a few drinks on Friday night. Female, 25, attitude, and a damn good
    kickboxer, but not skinny and hates fat jokes but doesn't realize
    she is muscular and not fat. I need to get her back out on a bike
    and encourage carefully. To Hell with the indoor stuff.

    Or a variation on this. Get a set of Kreitler rollers with the "Killer
    Headwind" unit. It's probably about the cost of a single annual membership
    fee at the local club and it'll last a lifetime. And it does just as you
    say ... The harder you work, the more wind you get.

    And besides, rollers are an awesome indoor training routine for the winter.

    I just got off my rollers...Kreitler with the headwind. Great workout and
    rehabilitating for the knees IMHO.
    You can get cheaper rollers for 160 from performance. Try it, you'll like it.
