In all of my circuit classes we incorporate a lot of single leg exercises and balance work. Single leg squats are a great place to start. I know that most of us can hit the incline leg press and push a lot of weight. Years ago I had a trainer who would load eight 45 […]

Lunges! Great exercise for cyclists. Do them forward, do them backwards, side to side, out to an angle and back to an angle. Do them across the lenght of the gym, do them to a press as you go across the gym, do them with light weights and progress to heavier weights. Watch your form!

Started the day with my 8:15 am indoor cycling class (all 35 bikes filled) with 4 climbs of 10-12 minutes each. After that it was 55 minutes of strength and plyometrics in my 9:15 Circuit class (about 25 in the class). A couple of hours later I was at Ault Park doing another set of

Yesterdays schedule had another set of 4×8 steady states. Given some time constraints I did these inside on the trainer. ALl four efforts were around 325-6 with cadence at the prescribed 85. Have another round of these today after the Wednesday double-header of spin and circuit classes at the Cincinnati Sports Club. We’re starting the

Yesterdays ride was just 90 minutes and included 4×8 minute steady states. After the prior week it was nice to have some shorter intervals than the previous 15 minute efforts.
