Give the session a purpose
Read the workout first and identify its main goal. Check the time available, any equipment needed and how you will record the session. Keep the plan visible or loaded before you begin.
Prepare the space
Set up ventilation, bottles and a towel within reach. Make sure the bike and trainer are secure according to their instructions, and keep cables and loose items away from moving parts.
Confirm the connections
Check which device controls the trainer and which source records power. Follow the trainer manufacturer’s setup guidance. A short equipment check can reveal pairing problems before the planned work starts.
Leave a useful note
Record what you completed and any interruptions, connection issues or changes to your setup. Keep those details alongside your session feedback so future comparisons have context.
