Seeing as though I can't stand the boredom of free weights I attend a Les Mills Body Pump class twice a week as part of my routine, which is a full body weights workout..
Monday - Run on treadmill, rowing machine, stationary bike (went MTB ride this week)
Tuesday - Pump class
Wednesday - Just started Step class
Thursday - Pump class
Friday - Rest Day
Saturday - MTB ride 30+km
Sunday - Rest Day0 -
My cycling season routine was 3 sessions of weights and 3 sessions of cardio a week, alternate days.
The weights are normally a mix of machines, free weights and bodyweight exercises in a high tempo circuit training style. Very upper body focussed (partly through injuries, partly to save my legs for cardio).
The cardio is normally one hour on a Spinning bike (mostly high intensity), one hour mixed (rower, elliptical, treadmill) and one longer weekend cycle.
Training varied depending on cycling goals throughout the season (from century ride to hill climbing to speed work).
Just switching over to 4 weights sessions and 2 cardio sessions a week as I can't tolerate cold so my cycling is finished for the year. :grumble:
Working on strength and recomp for the next couple of months. In the New Year I will start cardio endurance building.0 -
Does the fact that lifiting weights of any type consistently is going to help with bone density figure into this discussion at all?

That's a really awesome article...
Except the freaking boobie lady with the glammed out mountain bike. WTF? He couldn't find an image of a REAL mountain biker? Why throw boobie lady in there?! Those things would give her a black eye if she actually got on that bike.0 -

Well, I agree with that but I think its like other things - they want some sex to make it pop. The research appeared to be valid though.0 -

Yeah but how old is that photo??!! [Partner thinks it's from an old Evans Cycles ad circa 2003]0 -
@ Busylady - ROFL!!! I was cracking up when I read your post. I never scrolled down on the article. I had to go back and look. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I do have to agree with you on this one. What?!!! It's a nice snow bike but why not put in something like a picture of a mountain bike competition.
@ Verdemujer - True, sex sells. Research into sex selling shows it works both ways. Guys see a set of breasts and can't quit thinking about the picture which engrains the product in their brain. Women look at a picture of breasts and wish they looked like that model and subliminally by the product so they can look like that too. Neither is a valid reason to buy the product but advertising research shows it works.0 -
I showed the article to one of my techs and she pointed out the new riding shows are 4" heals. That must be to help you get traction in the snow. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0
