Sometimes when I am using the stationary bike at the gym, I get extremely bored. I often like to join a cycling class where the instruction guides me through the ride, because it makes the whole experience far less boring, but the class schedule does not always fit into my schedule.
Accelerade, the sports drink phenom, has created vRide, a virtual 18-mile bike ride through San Francisco (w00t, w00t), up and down the hills and through the winding streets.
If you spend hours a week on a bike or in a pool that is great. Your knees probably love you for it. However, here is a gentle reminder to add a little variety to your routine with cross-training work.
Before we know it, the ski slopes will be open and it will be time to bust out your best moves on the snow. If you've ever had a first day on the mountain, unless you've been training, you know that it's a humbling experience that can make anyone feel quite out of shape. This year, before hitting the slopes, hit the gym in order to improve endurance, strengthen your legs and enhance balance.
