Tis the season...

For many (Lindsay and I excluded) the racing season has come to a close. It is now time to focus on developing strength, balance and flexibility to ensure success for next season! We obviously encourage a healthy dose of yoga. But beyond that, now is the time to venture out and try a couple of new things. My friend Brad is throwing himself head first into "winter triathlons" that involve snowshoeing, C.C. skying and other mitten related endeavors. Trail running is a sure fire way to develop those stabilizer muscles of the lower leg and ankle. Indoor climbing is an amazing utilization of those skills developed in your yoga practice. It will certainly help develop your core strength and flexibility and requires a bit of that composure we discussed previously. Go outside your comfort zone with a spin class. ( if you are in the Lakewood/Golden area let me know, i promise to take you out of your comfort zone!) Take this time to explore new ways of maintaining that fitness level that you have worked so diligently to obtain over the warmer months. Lindsay and are hard at work developing a fun, yet challenging Prep phase (I dislike the term "off season") regime for those interested. It will include a yoga sequence like you have NEVER experienced. We will be introducing it little bits at a time, so check back regularly.
