What are you old men with a hectic work and family schedule doing to get your endurance up on the bike?

Trying to ride one day a week now along with doing a push up workout. I need something I can do quick and be effective.

I wake up early and do 30 minutes of pilates or yoga then go on a run. At night when I have time I do plyometrix. All that is fast and you can do it in your house, no weights needed. Its all a good core workout and when you get old, its all about keeping the core strong.

I swing my golf clubs harder. Also started drinking 16oz beers instead of those lightweight 12 oz'ers.

More time on the eliptical. Easier on my knees than running outside and get similar cardio benefit. Watched that Stone Henge show while plodding along on the machine last night.

Got this one here, really good machine for the money and doesnt take up much room:

If anyone can pull it off, it's Bryan Friday...I believe him.

But "The Pipe" has the coolest plan ! But for that kind of property in my area, I would need an extra 10 million dollars

I ride every other day and I work out every day. I bicycle, run, and swim for cardio and lift weights 3 times a week. I do all of this starting at 530AM. I ride in the evenings.

Check out www.crossfit.com. Short, high intensity workouts that are 20-30 minutes. Like doing a long moto on a rough sand track. 3 days on, 1 day off. These workouts focus on functional strength and are posted on the website daily. They give examples of the different exercises and it 's free.

The best moto workout (in my opinion) is running 3 - 5 miles and then doing circuit training, 2 or 3 circuits with 5 or 6 stations each (push ups, sit ups, bent rows, shoulder presses, curls and wrist curls). No rest between stations, about 2 minutes between circuits. Motocross isn't aerobic and it isn't anaerobic, you have to train your body to cycle between those states. Total time = 45 minutes to one hour.

You should try bicycle riding about 20 miles at high speed it works the same muscles as mx. I lift alot of weights also. If you run alot your knees will start to have problems, It might take a few years but with riding and running its really hard on the knee.

I gave up the remote and go change channels manually. Yeah, I know that might be a bit too much for some.

I never hear about moto guys doing yoga. I've been doing it with my gf.
Standing on one leg, with your other foot in your crotch, tilting your head back with your arms above your head pointing behind you is-- really hard.
Also a great light burn on the muscles that will improve your balance and mental focus.

Endurance used to be a big problem for me, now not at all...

3 days a week:

20 minutes stationary bike, heart rate @ 160
15 minutes elliptical trainer, heart rate @ 170
15 minutes light weight training-tripceps, biceps, forearm, calf raise, neck, shoulders, back

ride once a week 4 x 15 min. motos

Eat right and hydrate, less problem to move around lighter body

Well, every day when I was 20 years old - which was 33 years ago...If I can get 3 or 4 workouts a week in, I'm doing good. Some weeks are less than that - and some are WAY less...LOL.
