Calling weight lifters

[ny biker]

I do weight lifting twice per week all year long with all major muscle groups. I reduce the leg work during the summer when I'm doing long bike rides, because otherwise my legs feel tired all the time. But I do not eliminate it.

I should add -- I do weight training 2x per week and I generally ride my bike 2x per week. On other days, I take a long walk or a rest day.

In cold weather months, I still do weight training 2x per week and I do cardio 3-4 days per week, varying it between hard workouts on some days and easier ones on other days.

Recovery days are very important.
