Mags, Rolls or Fluids?

Ok bike people. I'd like to get a trainer so I can get some bike exercise this winter on weeknights now that's it's dark before I even get home. My primary goal is to burn some calories on the bike - so should I go with magnetic, fluid or rollers? I was pretty set on fluid until I started reading some reviews and a lot of people recommended rollers for people looking for a good workout. And I'm saying the look of the rollers is pretty freaking intimidating - I can see myself absolutely breaking my neck on that thing, maybe. So, if you have a trainer what do you recommend and why??

I hate Daylight Stupid Time. It's dark now at 4:45. Ugh. When I left today it was dark but also stormy. Lightning was all around and by the time I got home it was a full fledged severe thunderstorm. Not good. Of course Pippin was freaking out as I tried to get him outside and then the tornado sirens started at the school across the street. Really not good. We got inside and I checked on Brent, who was still stuck on the interstate pretty far from home in a hail storm. I called our swim coach and told her Brent wouldn't make it in time, and she told me the pool was closed due to the lightning anyway (not sure why....maybe all the windows??) and we would probably have had to cancel anyway. So, our swim finale was postponed 'til later this week, which was fine. The time change has me all "winter depressed" and I needed to sort through our insurance packets tonight anyway and sort out of insurance choices for next year. Another strong storm came through around the time our class would have ended, so moving to later this week was probably a great thing.

In workout related weirdness, they had a DJ at the Y today "spinning tunes" in the cardio/weight section. For some reason it just kept cracking me up while I was working out today. He played good music but not good workout music. Once it was swing, then it was Superstitious (Stevie Wonder) and although it made me dance it wasn't the right music for me to run to. They also had sandwiches and chips for us. You just never know what excitement is waiting at the gym. And since you get "reward points" every time you go I am RACKING UP the points. It won't be long before I have enough points for the awesome sleeping bag I have my eye on.

Alrighty, I am slleeeeepy today! We put our electric blanket back on our bed a couple of weeks ago and I am in hog heaven! I crank that puppy up every night and just stretch out like a lizard on a rock in the desert.

Have a great night!
