[...] I haven’t really done anything for core or upper body. I didn’t want to end up with T-Rex Syndrome. In fact, it’s from that site that I got the inspiration to do the 100 Pushup [...]

When I commute to the city (7.5 miles/30 mins), I do a few bench presses, lat pulls, etc., before hitting the shower at my gym. I’m not necessarily overweight, as I combine bike riding with a vegetarian diet, but I could use some toning, and I am 7-10 lbs overweight.

Having read this post, though, I’ve begun trying the 100 push-up plan. On my first day (yesterday), I did 7 push-ups using strict form. I was surprised that I could do so few. Oh well. Will try for 10 tomorrow morning.

I do 25 pushups 3x per week, 80 ab exercises 3x per week and yoga a minimum of 1x per week (prefer 2x). I don’t have any back issues so to speak of, nor shoulder issues and have a good core. I’m all about counterbalancing the cycling movements to make myself stronger.

I started P90X over the winter. I’ve only lost about 8 pounds but all that old gue has been replaced by muscle. I finished the program in May and started cycling 40+ miles Tues/Thurs/Sun with a choice P90X upper body routine (or P90X+, depending on how I feel and how much time I have) Mon, and again either Wed or Fri.

I’ve been very satisfied with this routine and never get bored with such a variety. P90X is pretty intense, but after two weeks you’re body gets adjusted. I think it would be near impossible to do the full program with a stiff cycling habit, but replace the cardio dvd’s with an evening on the bike and your good to go.

May I recommend a great book by Men’s Fitness called “Total Body Play”. It has 3 work out phases broken into 6 week periods. Each 6 week period is broken into two 3 week periods. Most exercises can be done at home with dumbells and the workouts only take 20 minutes or so(4 exercises a day). It is very comprehensive for those without a ton of time on their hands.

Climbing? Sarah obviously doesn’t live in flat Florida.

I managed to do 17 push ups, though the last four were a little sloppy. That was better than expected. Maybe I’ll try push ups for a couple weeks.

Cheers,
Matt
