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.

YouTube Channels

So I've decided that I needed to start a YouTube channel - and I have!!

You can check them (yes I did say them!) at any of the below links...

Blue Car Digital Media (BCDM)
Orion's Multi-belt

Keep 'em Spinning will soon have it's own channel, but as I want it to be a superb cycling channel to challenge the likes of GCN et. al. then I need to work on the content before letting it loose on the world, so keep your eyes peeled either here or on our Twitter account (@keepemspinning) for future updates.

For the moment though, one of our sister channels has an increasing number of various dance music tracks available to get you through the days and nights, and to hopefully motivate you to train and race harder over the summer months.

The channels will be working together to get more content that suits all user, and hopefully will have some training videos by this winter to help motivation when stuck inside on the turbo...

If you've got any particular music genres that you think should be uploaded onto the BCDM channel, then why not drop them a comment on one of the videos, or put a comment at the bottom of this post.

Orion's Multi-belt is a random channel for the geeks (or wanna-be geeks) out there, with a number of space-related videos. Why not check them out?! I'm no space freak but they're interesting and you even get to see James Bond in episode one!


Keep 'em spinning!!
