November....

Yet again, another week has passed and I've somehow failed to be on the bike more than once and therefore my weekly total is looking a tad light!

With exams and a hectic work life it's pretty tough to be fitting exercise in as well, but I did manage to go for a couple of runs at the weekend although I'm still questioning the sanity of that decision!! (Why is it that your legs ache for days and days after a run?!)

One thing that is really key, no matter what exercise you are doing is to make sure that you warm up - I came across these couple of videos on the Global Cycling Network YouTube channel, and they provide a brilliant few drills to do before you get on the bike to ensure that you decrease the chances of injury whilst also increasing strength and a bit of flexibility.




I've tried all the stretches and exercises in these videos - and whilst yes they do also provide great entertainment for most other people who see you doing the exercises, they have also been helping with getting me warmed up and stretched out before going for a ride/ run.

Keep 'em Spinning
