Terence Hope Posted June 2, 2012 Share Anyone doing / done CrossFit training in the off season for strength and endurance, or even during the season for a bit of cross training? If so, your thoughts? did it help with your cycling / running / swimming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted June 2, 2012 Share I run a bit. Helps clear the mind and takes less time than cycling. Helps make the rides more fun as you aren't riding as much. Should also help with cycling but the best bet would be to cycle more if you want to get cycling fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Considering the fact that CrossFit is a total body workout and has nothing to do with running, I reckon it will help you immensely, as upper body and core strength seem to be key for cycling. Me I'm too old, but my Chiro highly recommends it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Hope Posted June 4, 2012 Share I actually do CrossFit training 4 times per week for strength training and it has helped my cycling tremendously, so wanted to see if anyone else is doing it and if they have seen the benefits. CAAD4, too old? Doubt it, crossfit training is also all about your own ability and doing it at your pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted June 4, 2012 Share I throw my own tyres around the yard when working on the cars so don't see the point to pay someone do this in their gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I understood it was a modern day version of a Military opv*k in a group that also included woman. They insisted on a minimum 6 month contract. Sure to make you strong though....
