5 THINGS I'M WORKING ON THIS OFF SEASON
THE OFF SEASON isn't the... Time to get on the couch season. But, it is a good time to back it off. The main "it" being...
... training volume.
Now it is time to bank things for the coming year.
What can we do with the shorter days,
the freed up training time,
the unfocus?
Let me just call myself out right here...
... we can pay extra special attention to anyone who might have been inadvertently backburnerd.
Here are 5 less important things, than the above, that I'm personally working on...
- getting stronger via weight training
- improving my flexibility via stretching
- climbing ability via driving to longer climbs
- decreasing my weight via cleaning up my diet
- balance via moves and activities the require greater balance
... while decreasing my overall time commitment.
Other than actually driving to do longer climbs, and I'm talking about climbs of 60+ minutes...
... everything can be done at home.
Weight training, is easy to do first thing in the morning while my brain is waking up.
Stretching, while watching/learning on YouTube.
Cleaning up my diet, that's just picking better stuff at the grocery store.
Balance moves, for me that's a two-fer because Surfergirl, who apparently likes having me around, like to surf.
It just takes some commitment, and maybe...
... picking up some used weights off of Facebook Marketplace.
And, if we do it, we'll head into 2025 with a much better base than we ended with in 2024.
What are your 5 or 3 or 1 thing(s) to work on this off season?
