 Indoor Training for Beginners

Monday, October 22, 2018 by Ziggy's

You've explored the region, made some new friends, and are constantly looking forward to your next ride. But then along comes fall, and then winter. The cold front brings cold, rain, and the temptation to pick up that book or remote. All you want to do is grab a warm blanket, sit on the couch and stop working out. While it's fine to take a break now and then, the hard-earned fitness gains you made during the spring and summer months don't have to be lost!

Always looking for a challenge? Okay with getting dirty? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, cyclocross may just be the sport for you.

When fitted properly on a bike, older adults can take advantage of all the benefits of biking. Not only is it a low-impact form of exercise that is easy on the knees, wrists, and back, biking promotes physical and mental health, prevents chronic disease, and can be a social activity for older adults of all abilities.
