A Realistic Workout Schedule: Gym & Road

[GLC1968]

1. Get lights and ride before work or after work.

2. Get a trainer and some training DVDs and ride in the house.

Ditto and add:

1) Buy a couple of workout DVD's (core, weights, cardio) to supplement your cycling. (Cathe Friedrich, Firm, Tracie Long Training, etc)

2) Buy some free weights (dumbells are cheap if you get them used) and a stability ball.

With the trainer, the lights for outdoor rides, and some basic weight work and supplemental cardio, you'll have all the tools you need to get in (and stay in) great off-season shape (without a gym or extended daylight hours)!

I sympathize with not wanting to buy anything until after you have moved. Can't blame you there.

I've been trying to ride every decent day after work, but those rides seem to be getting shorter.

I'm hoping to run across a decent 2nd hand cardio bike suitable for spinning. I belong to a very nice gym with just OK spinning bikes.

Wanted to mention that there are all kinds of podcasts out there for myriad different types of workouts for free. I like free.
