Like many, I've been off my bike this past few weeks and though I've done my daily stretches and weights, I don't feel that I've had anything like the aerobic activity that my cycling gives. More snow forecast here midweek too...
I'm not a runner, don't 'do gyms, haven't got an exercise bike or turbo, and don't want to bodge my knees, but I do want to keep my leg muscles in shape. (Enough of a list? ). I've been walking at a fairly brisk pace for about an hour a day while being off the bike, but that doesn't raise the heart rate much in my case. (Jumping around on a friend's Wii at the weekend did though - I didn't manage to get round to trying the Wii jog device, but that looked like a bit of fun too. I mean, jogging in your living room isn't half as demanding as pounding the cold wet streets, is it?).
Any thoughts?
