Hi all,
I'm looking to drop some weight (about 15kg) and gain a bit of fitness and strength. This has been a long-required feat for me. I've been pretty dormant for the last 8 weeks, but am starting to ride XC a bit more regularly again. I find that when I ride XC I cannot force myself to push harder riding a bike, I find it hard to remain at peak exertion for any sort of duration. Perhaps its the terrain changing. Either way I want to build a bit of floor exercise or weights work in..
So if any fitness buffs, PTs etc care to flick me a few ideas on what I could do that would be wonderful. Heck, if someone wants to recommend me a workout plan/schedule that would be even better. I have access to:
- about 50kg of weights with a barbell and dumbells
- carport with roof beams that I could perhaps do pullups on
- XC bike and a dormant road bike (never used!)
I really don't have much of an idea on what exercises are effective and what aren't.
Kind thanks in advance!
