Bikes are a good way to get started but jogging is where it's at for building up endurance...
What's good TOO?

Running keeps the same resistance throughout the whole run, bikes like treadmills just can't duplicate...
Seen it way too many times over my years of running... People running and biking multiple miles but when the shoe meets the ground they don't have the endurance...
Run 3 miles on a treadmill then a day or so later do it out on the road... You'll see the difference....

Not to crap on anyone's parade but if you want leg development nothing beats weight training. I'm not a big proponent of steady state cardio training. I prefer short quick bursts like sprints or sled drags for fat loss and muscle development.
I also have other plans for this bike, plans that I never got to follow through with due to shooting a buck on opening day.
I also climb up and down a 10 foot ladder at least 50 times a day at work, hell that's gotta be good for something lol
For sure it is. The problem is if you want your body to change you have to introduce variation. The body adapts very well so the only way to make it change is to vary your training. IE in weight training u either add weight or reps if you want to grow.
What if I switch gears on the bike?
That could work. Also riding different routes would be good also. Trying to find progressively more difficult routes would be good too. You have to keep making things more difficult or you will stop making progress. However every few weeks I would take an easy week so u can recover.
There's different parts of the trail I can use. I plan on doing this 3-4 times a week for a couple weeks then stepping it up.
Sounds like a good plan. Didn't mean to hijack the thread but I really get into fitness stuff.
Baby steps, man. I use to lift alot back in the day. I'm not looking to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger, just trying to get healthier.
You were swole at the summer shoot last year! I know one thing, I don't think anyone will fugg with us out in Missouri[emoji23]
