Bicycles are like watermelons; skis are like oranges


Fitness can be seasonal, just like produce.  It is challenging, without a lot of travel, to ski in the summer.  Similarly, unless we have special stuff, biking in the snow might not be the best plan.  This is all good.

However, it does require that we think about our fitness plans as the seasons change.  In biking season, the focus might be on the endurance required for long distances or the strength gains desired to conquer hills.  Skiing has its own particular special muscle groups that need both strength and flexibility for best results.

Maybe one season is more about weight lifting and another is about cardio.  That is not something to worry about as long as we keep moving and strike some kind of balance.


Go play.
