Hi all... Just after a bit of advice...
Cycling was the only thing that I could do and stick to. I didn't really see it as anything other than great fun with massive benefits and I totally fell in love with it. As my fitness improved, I found myself in a positive cycle of getting into a bit of running, eating better and loving the results.
Between personal issues, an accident and a new job (that i think in the long run kept me sane as a result of the focus I had to put into it) this resulted in a negative cycle of losing fitness, weight gain and for some bizarre reason, that I can only put down to an early mid life crisis, I began to smoke full time.
Things are a LOT better now I'm happy to say. Cut the fags last year and am feeling better every day for it. As a result, I can breath on the bike and the enjoyment is back (even if the fitness and mileage is slower to catch up)
What I'd like is tips to improve my general strength/core strength.
Any suggestions/tips would be gratefully received.
