Today was my active rest day where I road for 30 minute submaximally on the trainer, and then went to the gym. At the gym I did 10 minutes on the rowing machine before doing my usually ab workout, and circuit on the weight machines. Feeling very strong lately, maybe it is the fact that it has been about a month since I stopped smoking cigars daily, and about 2 weeks without any. Although I think this is keeping my weight higher, I feel much stronger, and thus working harder both on and off the bike. Although I still have the occasional urge to light one up, I have not done so. After working out, I hit the hot tube for an extra long stretching routine. As I was walking to the truck from the gym, all I could think off was how great my legs felt. Not sure if without the weight loss I can improve my cycling any during the outdoor season, but I sure feel better.
Tomorrow, I am going to do a spin class instead of workout at Newington Bike, so I can get a cynergy class in. I feel I need the extra body workout to strengthen my core. I have missed my once a week cynergy class. I wish they had spin on Thursdays before cynergy, as that would be my preferred day to do it in my current routine. This will also give me a two hour workout, as apposed to just cycling that day...nice!
