Going Long and Hard.

[Steve Vai]

Jim, can you throw up your gym workout again? Was reading an article on JeffL and it seems like I really need to start putting some time at the gym. We have one at work and I'm going to try to get down 45 mins every day.

45 minutes!!?? My routine changes throughout the year but almost none of it is directly related to cycling. It's a lot of core, upper body, dead lifts, leg presses, etc. Simple stuff.

Sucking the old?

Both yes and no, surprisingly!

Yeah, I can't get away from my computer for more than an hour. Plans are to warm on the rower for 15 mins then do alternating days of lower and upper. Rotating core in between breaks. Since I started riding I've stopped with leg workouts which may have been a mistake.

So you think leg presses and dead lifts are enough? What about lunges?

Jim forgets to mention the 1200 hours of cycling

Has anyone else tried to explain to Jim that those hrs don't work in a day?

I spend about 30 minutes tops. We also do push-ups and sit-ups throughout the day at work everyday. My routine is super basic, I try not to think about it too much.

Luckily there are 365 days to spread it out.

It is actually only 3.28 hours a day.

See? Cake. OOS spends more time than that just trying to figure out where they're gonna ride per day 🙂

There was a smiley face. That means you can't be mad. That's how the internet works. It's like saying...

"No offense, but...."

That's sorta like "bless his heart", right? As long as you say that anything's game. For example: he's as sharp as a bag of hammers, bless his heart. Or no offense, but you make that brick look like Stephen Hawking.

It is ok to call jim a bag of hammers without a smilie.
