Outdoor training, for example, can be great when it’s sixty-five degrees and breezy. But in a New England winter it can drop to 0 degrees and miserable. Or during the summer, it could get up into the 90s or even 100s, and who wants to work out in that kind of heat? Simple exercises like jogging or even swimming ended up putting an undue amount of stress on joints that were already in pretty bad shape thanks to my condition.
Strength training for me was just a matter of accepting that I would have to use lower weight and do more reps. Curls, triceps work, sit-ups and leg lifts round out my strength training routine. I do strength work for about fifteen minutes after the bike.
My fitness training program experience led me to body building. So I devised a fitness training program for myself. I knew the important parts of a fitness training program were threefold: Cardiovascular training, flexibility training, and stregth training.
