Nice cross training. I have been doing PT at a center as a result of a recent accident, approx 3 months ago, and am now almost back to where I was minus cardio which will take lots a cycling again. RE: lunges - never really did these and Im sure sore after adding these to the PT mix. The PT has really pointed out areas of weakness that I will slowly improve over time and it will help my cycling in the long term.
