Winter is the time to build strength (plus, it's something you can do inside!). Try to incorporate strength training a few times a week and your legs will thank you as you're pounding down yet another short steep hill at this summer's VT100.
Here's a quick and effective at-home strength routine:
- 3 rounds of - 20 x lunge squats, 20 x air squats, 20 x single leg squats, 1 minute bike crunch
- 3 minutes continuous planking (switching from front to sides)
Easy peasy! Done in 20 minutes...and your quads will thank you this summer!
Got another 10 minutes? Here's another few great exercises:
- 3 x 10 push-ups
- 2 x 15 step-ups (step from the ground to the 2nd step)
Alternate between the two exercises.
