What type of cross training do you do?

This season I plan on incorporating some cross training into my regimen. I think most people would atain miles on the bike tends to be a grind after a while. At least, thats how it is for me. It encourages me to take an "extended break" from my training plan, and by the time I get back on the bike my legs feel strong but it seems like my cardio went off a cliff.

So that said, what type of cross training do you guys do and what benefit do you receive from the exercise?

 

I in-line skate and do pilates.

I find the pilates to be a good "counter" to my biking and a strong core certainly helps the riding.

I inline skate because I really enjoy the paths along the beach. I also am better able to work my lower heart rate zones on the skates.

 

In line sk8 & pilates. Holy cr@p. I can't wait until Gabe reads and responds to ur post . J/k brutha...there's nothing wrong with that

for me cross training consists on tv, beer, & wings.

Hand eye coordination with remote and tv. Curls with beers and sprints to the head after hot sauce ravages my insides.

If I want to push it I drink in excess and work on my core via tightening my stomach muscles puking my brains out. On recover days I ride.

Been really pushing my training thusfar in 2010 with minimal off days (hense no riding ) .

let me know if u want a training partner to this highly rigorous, err rigomortus (s&p?) training
