June 16, 2010 | Posted by Administrator 3 Quick Motocross Training Tips That Will Make a Huge Difference!
Have you ever wondered what the guys are doing that are winning races while your fading at the end of your moto?
I used to ask myself the same question and I did find allot of answer’s. Some I wish I hadn’t because it truly does come down to hard work! When you look at motocross training and see that you really do get out what you put in it becomes exciting. I knew that if I put in the hard work and could ride hard for my 15 minute moto ( I knew this because I could go that pace for at least 30 minutes during training) that no one would be stronger at the end of the moto then myself. You can train this way for all rider skill levels by adjusting the time and type of exercises your doing.
Let’s get started! 3 things to get you started are:
1.) Get yourself a heart rate monitor. Without one you have no idea how hard your body is working. This becomes even more important when you get into trying to stay in different heart rate zones such as fat burn or cardio zones. This will also help you determine your lactic acid level, but since this is more of introduction article I won’t get to deep here.
The heart rate monitor I like is made by Polar and it can also mount on a road or mountain bike which I will be talking about next. You can find the heart rate monitor I am talking about here
2.) If you don’t have one purchase a road or mountain bike! There isn’t much you can do at a gym to mimic the workout you get on a moto or mountain bike. You can pick either style bike that suits you better. A road bike is good for being able to keep your heart rate at a specific target then a mountain in single track trail, but in my opinion the road bike is kinda boring. Using a mountain bike in some single track is I have more fun then riding my moto bike sometimes! The downfalls are that its hard to keep in a zone since your going up and down hills and curving through trees. It is also a little more risky to fall and get hurt versus a road bike.
Either way both are great exercise and a wonderful tools to get you to the finish line first.
3.) The last thing you should pick up to start motocross training are health supplements. During rides I like to use CytoSport products which you can find here. When you spend such a big chunk of time riding and training at a high heart it can be taxing on your body. The one problem I was trying to get rid of was the creation of free radicals in my body. These little buggers will start breaking down your cells and its not a good thing. The answer is anti-oxidants. A new product that just came out is eXfuze.
eXfuze is now the worlds first multi-botanical health supplement on planet earth that I know of. Why I am such a proponent is because instead of trying to eat tons of fruits and vegetable to get enough ORAC to find these free radicals off I can just drink 3/4-1 ounce of eXfuze a day and not have to worry about it again! Most importantly it tastes good! Don’t get me wrong though you it is still a good idea to eat fruits and vegetables as well.
It fit my need and it does a great job that gives me piece of mind. So I am happier now and don’t worry as much. Give it a try on my official eXfuze website: http://www.vivaexfuze.com/

May 18, 2010 | Posted by Administrator I have been an avid cyclist since my days on my first tricycle (with the stabalizers) and have through the years been in and out of love with cycling depending on what has been happening in my life. I have even been through the “serious” time of joining a local club and buying all the ‘garish’ coloured outfits and even the cycling shoes – then going on the outings with the semi professionals and becoming totally disheartened by it all. The money I have spent on cycles over the years has been sometimes outrageous and something I feel that I could never do again. How wrong could I be – as I have become hooked again and started to ‘train’ myself up properly this time.
Let me first be honest and say, there is no magic bullet or pill you can take to turn yourself into a professional cycling machine. Sure, you could take some sort of illegal performance enhancing drug and see some good improvement quickly. However, you still need to get the fundamentals right to see improvement from that. There are several key ingredients that work in synergy and can provide exponential improvement. In other words, when things work together the affects are multiplied so the increases are greater. One of the most important ingredients to performing well on the bike is choosing – what riding you do and when. Most people do not get the foundations right and when they try to build their training up, the walls come crashing down around them. You really have got to think of your body like an engine. There are certain systems in your body that need to be trained first before you jump in and try to get other systems working.
A good analogy is to imagine you want to build a fast race engine for a car. Before you would begin bolting on parts that make the engine go fast, you need to work on the existing block to make sure it is strong enough to handle the horsepower. Once you know that this foundation is solid then you can bolt in a nice cam, a big carb and a turbo knowing that the rest of the engine can handle it. If you made a choice to bolt a turbo and go fast parts on a standard engine that was not correctly prepared, you couldn’t expect it to go as fast as it potentially should. Even worse, it is likely to break down and damage the engine when pushed hard. Cycling is very similar in that you must ensure you are timing the type of training you are doing correctly to see maximum results.
There is an almost endless array of different training sessions you could select to do on any given day. The question is “which one is going to give me maximum bang for my bucks so to speak”?. In other words, if you have certain objectives that you are trying to achieve (for example, building strength), what session is going to yield the best results for the time you invest?. This is where experience comes into play. Any number of sessions might “theoretically” work. It is only when you try them in practice do you discover what produces the best results. Many people love cycling but do not have as much time as they would like to ride their bike. This means that they want to maximize the gains they can achieve on each ride.
When you are out cycling who is going to pay the bills if you are out on your bike all day?. That is why you should be applying the great principle named after a famous 18th century Italian economist to your cycling. It is called the Pareto principle. It is also known as the law of the vital few. The principle states that the majority of effects come from the minority of causes. To put it in more simple terms, this means that the majority of improvements that most people see in their cycling performance for example, originate from just a few of the things that they are doing right. So if you are riding 10 hours a week, it is likely that only 2-3 of those hours are bringing the majority of your improvement. Which of course should make you think “why don’t I do more of the hours that are bringing the majority of improvement and fewer of the hours that don’t do much at all”?.
By joining the unique “My Cycling” program you will have access to their indepth major areas concentrating on:

This is their 8 week beginners program to help you go from zero to hero as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

These are their traditional 13 week programs focusing on developing maximum form. They have got several options depending on available training time.

Access to real expert help
They are also there to help you. While this is not a one-on-one service, they do have a team of highly skilled experts including ex-professional cyclists on hand to assist.
Cycling training does not need to be as complex as most people make out. If you have ever bought a cycling training book you will see just how convoluted and unnecessarily complicated they are. You practically need a science degree to follow them. Your cycling training does not need to be that complex. Should you find yourself on the inner circle of the professional peloton, you will find that most professional cyclists training regimes are not anywhere near as complicated as those programs. If you can’t understand what you are supposed to be doing, how on earth can you be expected to fully trust that what you are doing is going to work?. This is where your mind and body meet. Even if you follow it to the letter, if you do not believe in what you are doing, your mind will not support your body and you will not see the maximum results. In contrast, when applying the My Cycling program elements you understand what you are supposed to be doing on the bike and fully trust that it is going to generate positive results, you will do everything without reservation. You will work the sessions harder and keep motivated throughout the whole process.
Have you ever noticed how champion sports people often make the comment, “I am just really enjoying my sport at the moment” just after they have won a big event?. It is not surprising. When you are enjoying what you are doing, your mind is supporting your body and your central nervous system is more responsive to deliver what your body needs. In the same way, when you are enjoying what you are doing, you are more motivated and more energized and you complete the tasks with increased enthusiasm. It is only natural that you will find yourself getting better results.
By joining the unique ‘My Cycling’ program you will have unlimited access to the following benefits:
Powerful unique training programs for time poor people. From the beginner right through to the racing cyclist. Advise and resources created by professional and ex-professional cyclists alike to ensure that you are given the RIGHT information first time. An online training log that will help you keep track of your riding and help keep you motivated to keep improving. Whether you are a beginner or a long time campaigner, they have got the correct unique training and resources you need.
Remember if you are dreading getting on the bike because you can’t stand the thought of the training you have got to do, you will never be able to experience the benefits that these principles bring. This aspect to performance is often ignored. However, it is fundamental to seeing your cycling success and the unique My Cycling program will prove it to you.

May 11, 2010 | Posted by Administrator Mountain biking belongs to the category of sports that fills your need for adrenaline rush and excitement. From the moment you get on your mountain bikes until the time you rush downhill or cross country, you feel strong and free and you momentarily forget life’s worries. You throw all caution to the wind, vulnerable yet unaffected by the elements that may come your path.
But of course you can’t just get in there and engage in racing bicycles without at least considering the basics of this sport.
It all starts with sorting through an array of mountain bicycles for sale and choosing what’s right for you. There are several classifications of mountain bikes with the differences between them centering on the setting where you’ll use them. Cross Country Mountain Bikes are mainly suited for trails. Downhill Mountain Bikes are designed for downward riding. These bikes are more appropriate to use on elevations such as valleys or mountain sides where you partly use gravity to propel you.
Upon choosing the right mountain bicycle that would help you easily navigate your target terrains, you start off with addressing the fitness factor. You can’t just jump in there and do difficult stunts without making sure your body is at par with the challenge. You need to be familiar with the three systems that our body uses in physical activity.
The first is the adenosine triphosphate or ATP system that gives our body the necessary boost to do a certain activity. In just a few seconds, we gradually lose this energy and it must be replenished in order for you to keep going. These exercises require major effort and so you must do them far and between.
The Anaerobic system doesn’t require much effort and lasts a little longer than ATP. The goal of this training is to increase your body’s lactic acid so that you can perform longer at the same time maintaining a high intensity.
The Aerobic system is a staple in cross country biking. It allows longer function than the first two energy systems and is thus more sustainable. Because it is much needed in bicycle racing, you need to invest a certain amount of time in Aerobic training.
This gives you an idea of the different systems that your body uses for physical activities. If you want to race you need to exercise these systems to enhance your fitness level. So not only do you need to make sure that your new or used bicycles are in order but you need to make sure your body can perform for the event.
