Cycling machine at gym

[Hennie VR]

My apology for not clear. I'm beginner as it will be my first race. as I will see how i feel after the finish line then I will move up to 25km and go on. That why what I've mention I'm on process on professional which I'm asking for your advice about gym

 

Ok that explains it.Well dont put to much pressure on yourself to become pro. It must stay fun. And set realistic goals for yourself because if you set unrealistic ones you will not achieve them and that will demotivate you. Aim to do well in 40-50km races by end of next year, then 70km races by the year after and then become pro the year after. 3 years with the correct training.

 

As for gym exercises. Yes they work, but dont go and build monster muscles because that = weight. Weight that you will need to carry uphill. Focus on strength and stability. Plenty core (abs + lower back). For my legs I only use body weight and phisio ball.

zaslinger, English is my main language. Actually my grammar is not excellent. And just let you guy know I'm Deaf and sign language user.

I had a better video but cant find it now. But this I do plenty of.

Just enjoy yourself and your rides, fitness will come as you spend more time on the bike and suppliment it with gym/spinning.

 

Ultimately, you are outdoors, having fun and living a healthy lifestyle... well done on choosing to do so and have fun !!

I thought this was the Friday Fight thread ? Seems I was mistaken!

 

@Spiderkzn, I have a few deaf friends, learning english and grammar while being deaf is extremely difficult. Most people with your disability have the same issues so don't let the people here make fun of you : ) The problem with this place is, most people here think you are joking, that included me !

 

Guys, I think this guy is for real.... Keep the advice coming

[spiderkzn]

4u2nv either you are troller!

 

KENDA thank for your support. I'm not worry if they making fun of me as I'm just a human like all of you and I'm planning to accomplish my goal for Deaflympic 2017 for MTB or cycling (hint) as my Deaf friend Terence Parkin (Silver medalist 2000 Olympic 200m breastsroke) as he is currently in Sofia, Bulgaria for Deaflympic for MTB and cyclist.

I also think this guy is for real and what's more, I think he deserves an apology.

 

What the hell is up with hubbers flaming newbies until proven to be "real", so to speak. That's down right arrogant and makes for a super negative perception of cyclists.

Im not biting on this... reeks of bait to me!
