I've been doing some reading on what I should be doing this winter to get in shape for next season. The two things I keep reading is how i need to build up my arm muscles to be able to pull up the front end of the bike, and second, how I need to build up my core. What do you girls do for strengthening your arms? And do any of you have a favorite pilates DVD to use for the core muscles? I do attend a gym and plan to start going to the pilates class, but I'd like to be able to do stuff at home too. I'm trying to get into excellent shape, after all, I need to be able to ride my new Bottle Rocket!
