Bike Trainer
Posted on Tuesday, December 08, 2009

It has been a slower start to the ski season this year.  So getting on your bike trainer is always a good idea for general training now, year round and it is also a great warm up for 10-15 minutes before a stretching and strength training routine. If you are on your bike in your basement like me you should dress warm enough and shed clothing as you warm up. Drink water before you get thirsty always, keep up a high level of spinning and settle back with some good music.

Fresh Air Experience has a great selection of bike trainers and they should last for many, many years to come, mine is over 10 years old and still running strong.  Happy spinning and looking forward to the start of another great ski season in 2010.

Orthotics

I am told 80% of people could greatly benefit from orthotics.  I have been using them since the 90’s with great success.  Proper foot alignment can lead to a solid foundation for your cross country skiing.

There are several excellent locations in Ottawa to get these made.  Here I am with Matthew Grasmeyer of the Ottawa Orthotic Lab   www.ottawaorthoticlab.com who I would highly recommend.
