Trying to find some skillz...
- Strength train 5 days/week
- Cardio 5 days/week for 30 to 60 minutes depending upon activity
- Skiing in VT on the weekends, or resting

Oh, and chasing my "almost 4" year old around burns the most calories...

Been in the gym 6 days a week

MWF: 30 minutes med spin on the bike, then weights
TRS: 15 minutes med spin on the bike, 30 min endurance "mountain", 30 min sprint intervals, 15 min low/med cool down

Lots of stretching too, that's one of my weak spots for sure. Now I just need to get the bikes built up and a little more snow to melt, i'm dying to see some dirt again. Snow biking is always fun though, keeps it interesting.

And sweet, delicious beer on the weekends :monkeydance:

Training? HA
1. Drink too much coffee
2. Stare at Excel all day
3. Tell other people to train

The cofee and stress keep the heart in good shape.
Work on core strength by shoveling off the DH runs so other people can ride them.

The local training crit series starts on Sunday, so I'll continue to work on the core strength by puking as much as possible.

Lets see:
I am taking weight lifting at school. I run cross country aswell. I'm not very fast or strong, I can only bench 115 and run a 6 minute mile. I'm 5'11", 135 pounds. I wanna bench 135 atleast by the end of school year.

Wait till you get older, you'll wish for 190! I remember I worked so hard when I was 17 to hit 165 and I couldn't do it for the life of me. I became lazy for a year late in college and passed that mark with a nice belly! :) Had to work to get below 165 and be lean

hmm...training I have been going to the skatepark about two days a week. Other than walking a ton at work the only thing I have been doing lately is laying on my back wrenching on my Jeep.

I am not sure about racing this summer, but riding I will be doing a ton of. Starting in April I will be spending all my time building trails and test riding them.

I just have not had the motivation to "train" this winter.

I've lost 14lbs in the past week. All muscle.

Being 6'1" and going from 148 to 134 is not cool.

**** being sick.
