i am curious to know if other women crosstrain, and if so, what do you do?
personally i do weight lifting, mostly upper body exercises, plus core exercises. i had some back and shoulder pain after riding before i started lifting weights, now i feel great after rides. i also noticed my endurance has increased.
since i ride year round i lift year round, usually on alternate days. i tried adding Hatha yoga but it was too difficult to sustain(i am fast approaching 51 yrs old)and it was either drop the yoga or the weight lifting, i opted to continue lifting weights.
