WINTER TRAINING: INDOOR RIDING & WEIGHT-LIFTING I'm working up a winter weight-training programme for myself and figured I'd add some extra stuff for everyone else out there. Some people are stuck indoors due to weather, and the racing-season has ended, so changes in training are typical for...

Excess Cardio Is A Joke???

A trainer gave this article to my wife. What do you think? Excess Cardio Is A Joke by Craig Ballantyne Tis' the season for cardio horror stories. One woman wrote, "I started out doing 5 hours of cardio per week. No results. So I upped it to 7 hours per week. Still nothing. Do you...

Fixie/SS or geared bike for best workout?

Which bike - a fixed gear/single speed bike, or a road bike with multiple gears - is the best for a good workout? I'll explain my situation a little more and my thoughts and then I'd appreciate some feedback. Right now I have a single speed bike which I got cheap off of Craigslist. It works well...

How flexible are you?

I imagine that cycling benefits from flexibility somewhat and also that it impedes flexibility by tightening muscles (similar to sprinting). I have very bad flexibility and it is something I want to work on for my health as I think it is important, and because I want to be more flexible! So:...

Ok - last 5lbs won't budge. Help.

Over the last 2 + years I've lost 62.5lbs. Total lifestyle change, and a very sustainable loss. No yo-yoing, just drops in weight and plateaus of varying length. I've got 5lbs to go to my goal weight, and I might want to sneak 1 - 2lbs over that if I can. However, I'm seriously stuck where...

Recovery ride seems a bit of an oxymoron

Obviously, your body needs time to rest and recover. I get that. But what's the idea behind a recovery ride, as opposed to just resting? If it works better, it works better, but if there is a good why at work here, what is it?

Testicular pain after cycling

I am experiencing left testicle pain after cycling. It hangs around for about 1 week after a ride. Needless to say, this is putting a damper on my exercise. I'm 46, so, from what I have read, there is not much risk of cancer at this point. However, I find it very uncomfortable. I have tried...

Purpose of base training?

I'm wondering about the purpose of returning to base training in the winter. I did some racing at the end of last season and learned lots. No real training -- most of my riding was endurance stuff around 20mph. Just easy and enjoying the spin. I know I need to get faster (goal is to pull an...

Awhile ago, I decided I needed to eat healthier. At first, I made a resolution to change the entire way I eat, which ended up failing, because I was trying to do too much at once. This time around, I decided to deal with one meal at a time. First, I decided to ditch the sugar coated candy for...
