I hope this is the right place to post? I used to do strength training 5 days a week and little cardio. Then, I found the bike and I have been in love ever since. I stopped doing strength training and focused on learning to ride over this past summer. I know I shouldn't have stopped, but I just couldn't fit it into my routine and day. SO, with that said, do you strength train? If so, how often? Do you do certain body parts (I used to do chest, tri, shoulders on one day and the back, bi, abs on the next, legs on both days just different parts). How often do you ride when you are not training for an event? Before the cold, I rode about 4 days a week at 45 mins/day. I also should mention I have a 2.5 year old and I like to be with him when I can. This post is certainly rambling. Any info would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! Mistie
