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.
If you're attacking the person who says something rather than what is said, it's called an ad hominem (against the man) argument. Maybe here it should be called ad periodical.
