Stay in Shape - Cycling Workouts For the Winter Months
Author : Levi Bloom
It's that time of year. The time when you decide it's fine to ride in 12 degree weather. The time when your food and water freezes, your hands and feet go numb, and your bike gets covered in water and road salt... It's the time of year when you decide that you were a freakin idiot for going outside! That "time of year" for me was yesterday. My first ride outside in sub 25 degree weather. It's the same every year. Through spring, summer, and fall you tend to forget just how bad it is... and you think you're tough enough to handle it. Well... you're not! Just one ride brings back the painful experiences of just one year ago. The warming of frostbitten hands and feet - what a way to end a ride! It's enough to make me want to stay out in the cold! I even bought a trainer this year. And I wore it out after a month. So, inevitably, I rode outside in frigid temperatures. Now I'm getting ready to buy some rollers. Then I'll stay inside like a sane person! Perhaps I'll even pick up some workout videos. I have a CTS mountain biking video, the Spinervals might be ok, but I'm more interested in the Cyclo-core workouts. [See resource box below.] There's a little bit of everything - riding, light lifting, etc. - and best of all: just 30-60 minutes each! You get to stay inside, avoid trainer boredom, and you don't even have to go to the gym! Definitely too good to pass up! Even if you don't want to buy anything, check out the site for a free special report: "Five Secrets to Double Your Off-Season Fitness" Moral of the story: This is the off-season. Don't ride outside if it's below 25 degrees. And feel free to use this as an excuse to spend the winter in California!  http://ezinearticles.com/members/mem_pics/Levi-Bloom_2359.jpg" border="0" alt="EzineArticles Expert Author Levi Bloom"> Levi Bloom is the owner of Bloom Bike Shop and the webmaster of http://bloombikeshop.com Check out his site for more useful articles on cycling and bike repair.
