Group Personal Training - Session #2

We only have 2.5 months left before chair lifts everywhere start opening for bikers! There is no time left to procrastinate on getting fit for biking season so check this out: Group Personal Training – otherwise known as dryland training. Every year it takes a little longer to get back in the saddle and you want this transition to be as fast as possible. Stretching lowers the chances of injury; working out your weaker muscles makes you more balanced and stronger overall. Join up for the next session - Starts March 14th!This is a second session of the initial Group Personal Training that started back in January. The initial group was a success, so much so that I'm offering a second 6-week session that will finish off the winter just in time for bike season! Check out the initial article:

Currently, Group Personal Training is finishing up its first session for 2005. There are a few more happy bike riders out there looking good in bikinis! There are a few people in the group not associated with biking what-so-ever and I’m finding the same general problems exist with bikers as these non-bikers. The back of the body, in general, tends to get overlooked and is weaker overall. Hamstrings, the back, lower back and triceps tend to need more attention. Biking actually shortens the hamstring muscle (are yours tight too?) My goal is to balance out your body and work the weaker muscles as well as the stronger ones, in such a way that your whole body balances out. Are you looking for core strength? I have some phenomenal exercises where you see and feel results within a few sessions. Check these out:



Side Bridges - Excellent for the 'love-handle' area and core in general



Hamstring exercises - both advanced and intermediate versions



Shoulder exercise - rotate arm from side to front and work entire shoulder muscle. Great for rotator cuff mobility.



Ladder agility. Using the ladder for some fancy footwork.



Bridges with feet 2' apart. Great for entire core and thighs.
