Bone Breaking Ride

If you’re a cyclist, be sure to lift weights.

According to University of Missouri study, up to 60 percent of cyclists may have osteopenia, a form of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can double a person’s risk of bone fractures. Researchers found that the more time you spend cycling, the leaner you become without engaging your upper body. ” The effect is similar to that of bed rest, ” says author Pamela Hinton, PhD.  From Men’s Health, Jan / Feb 2008

  • WORLD-CLASS FITNESS IN 100 WORDS:

    Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Dead lift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
