Road cycling to fitness
-
<p>Turkish get ups are awesome! painful but awesome! My PT calls them injury prevention magic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Burpees on the other hand... :ireful: </p> -
<p>I like to do them pretty slow, to focus on each part of the movement. We'll normally do a couple of body weight reps then start using KB's - that first movement/crunch up onto your elbow is a bastard when you have some decent weight - 20kg KB and upwards really smash me on that core section. The move into the lunge and then back down again is ok though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hmmm never thought of doing them quick... uh oh!</p> -
Smashed the next cycling session which included my fastest lap time of the year.<br><br>
Lots of KBs and core work at the gym.<br><br>
This w/e very windy so did I a spin session at the gym for a change up. 45 minutes of high intensity intervals, really good training for the real thing, thoroughly enjoyed it. -

Next session repeated without the core class, went to do some Turkish get-ups and couldn't get up! Core smashed from 2 days prior.<br><br>
Did try some goblet squats - interesting my back was ok!<br><br>
Friday focused on goblet squats 3x10 but with just 16kg kb to get the hang of it. Then Lunges etc.<br><br>
Sat - 30 miles on bike inc. 3 laps of the park - just under 2hrs. Legs feeling a bit from Friday so didn't go too mad. -
Been away on hols followed by v busy week at work so getting back into it. <br><br>
For a laugh I thought I'd do a pre and post weigh-in see how much I gained.<br><br>
So using same scales at the gym - I left weighing 84kg. <br><br>
2 weeks solid eating and boozing. No exercise.<br><br>
On my return I am 83kg! How does that work?<br><br>
Back at the gym on Sat for the usual pull-ups, dips etc, then a 35 mile ride on Sun. It hurt but now up for a or gym session tonight.
