How Do You Train or Work Out When the Weather Keeps You Off The Road?
I’m 75 years old. I take spinning classes at the gym. When they’re over I do some machines for my arms & upper back (curls, tricep pull downs & rowing. I also do leg presses with heavy weights. I’m a big guy & can do leg presses using all the weights. I do 4 sets of 25 reps resting 1 min. between sets, then work to exhaustion by doing a final set of between 5 & 10. I also do planks & back extensions. I do this 3 times per week. I also ride whenever it’s 20+F & the roads are clear, and when I ride I skip the gym.
