What's the latin for attacking a journal rather than its content? There must be one educated person on here.

Those exercises were developed by the people who run Cyclo-CORE, and they were published where anyone can read them and do them for free. That's a service, in my book. I figure if I learn one thing a year from a magazine, then the subscription was well worth it. The environmental damage is another subject, but one which online magazines render moot. So if you disagree with the exercises which Cyco-CORE recommends, that's one thing, but ad magazinem attacks are another.

I am not now a Bicycling mag subscriber, though it was their "Over 50" issue many years ago that got me seriously training for this sport.

BTW, I can do The Plank until I get bored with it.
