The Idleness of March

Well, tomorrow is the Ides of March.  Spring is just around the corner.  We've been experiencing some spring/summer like weather here in North Carolina, but I know a lot of my biking friends are probably suffering from the winter doldrums and the "Idleness of March".  The time has come to motivate, friends!  Now is a good time to start building some strength off the bike to make it a good year on the bike.  So, if you haven't already started on some kind of training program, or even if you have, I am partnering up with my Dirty Janes and putting together a month of daily core and bike strength specific challenges for the month of April so that we can all be ready to celebrate National Bike Month in May and hit the ground pedaling harder than ever before.  I am no exercise specialist, but I have done many different training programs and done lots of research, and it seems anyone these days can make up a challenge of some sort, so I am going to give it a go.  I promise it will not be boring or tedious and you will be able to modify exercises for your fitness level.  This is going to be fun for everyone!  Keep your eyes out for upcoming posts with a full challenge calendar and daily posts from Dirty Jane and Dirt Vixen starting in April with photos and descriptions for each challenge.  Sign up now for my blog email updates to keep up to date by email, or keep up with the Dirty Jane blog on Twitter, or Facebook!
