Finding Balance


While it is true that the best way to become a better runner is to run more, there is a lot to be said for a little cross training. With all that the great state of Colorado has to offer geographically, it can be difficult to pick just one activity to excel at. Here are a couple of ideas to add a little balance to your cross training and make you better at your sport of choice.

Try this crossfit workout.
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of: 5 Pull-ups 10 Push-ups 15 Squats

whatever exercise that you are engaging in, attempt it unilaterally (with only one leg/arm). one legged squats and leg press are a great way to establish sport specific strength for the bike.

spend 30 min today practicing hand stands and arm balances like bakasana or "crow" pose.

Try a new way to improve core strength, stability, and flexibility...Tri yoga
