Basic Workout Videos
Here are some videos to accompany the basic workout routine that’s posted on the physical fitness home page and jump start page. I didn’t include any for speed work (Tuesdays) or endurance training (Sundays), as those are fairly straightforward, nor stretching (Wednesdays), which you can find in a lot of my other posts and videos.
Handstands
OK one of my favorite things to do, and the icing I put on top of every hike or climb is to perform one at the peak. I’m often asked for instructions, so now I can point folks here.
Shoulder Mobility
If you’ve read the physical fitness page then it is obvious how important joint mobility is. For the upper body, shoulders are probably the most critical, thus I’m starting there. You can find a great set of shoulder mobility exercises on this sub page. I will follow on with knees soon, and eventually hips, arms (wrists & elbows), and ankles.
Knee Mobility
If shoulders are the most critical upper body joint then knees are the most critical lower body joint. Here is a great set of knee mobility exercises on the knee mobility page, as promised.
Spinning Workout Profiles
I hope to eventually convert all my cycling workout pages into a format that is more readable for those not trained in the spinning notations that look like hieroglyphics to the untrained eye (or create a cheat sheet), but in the meantime please find a summary here, and one sample class posted during COVID-19 shelter-in-place times: https://gt-healthy.com/200412-on-line-cycle/
You can find all the playlists on my Spotify profile here: Greg’s Spotify. Music is meticulously organized by cadence (beats per minute), and for the most part the workout is synchronized to be ‘rhythm riding’ at the same cadence (pedal strokes per minute, or RPM, in this case) as each respective song. Those are the playlists labeled ’90 bpm’, ‘100 bpm’, etc. The workout playlists are labeled by the date (e.g. spin 190817 is for the 8/17/19 playlist, the YYMMDD format keeping things in chronological order). Unfortunately, when viewing other users’ playlists, Spotify does not order them as the creator did (I think they do it in order of most recently played), so it won’t appear as organized as it does on my CPU or phone and you may need to scroll through to find what you’re looking for.
Finally, here are some photos and videos from a simulated race we did in one of my classes.
