During the winter I do longer fasts to improve insulin sensitivity, increases HGH naturally and reduce inflammation. Hit classes, yoga and bike 2 times a week longer rides over 2 hrs.
@mtnbikehead4 жыл бұрын
Andrew Rivera Started doing that exactly a year ago due to worsening health, despite loads of exercise. Fasting is easy once the breads, sugars are cut out of diet. I had one of my best rides after breaking a 60 hour fast. Fastest overall speed and lots of PRs and a few trophies on trails I have been hammering on for years. Insulin Sensitivity and HGH increases from fasting really do improve performance. I lost over 60 lbs 224-160 lbs in 5 months and had my best year ever. Ride on.

Warm finger and warm toes, spend the money on good gloves and shoes! I carry two pairs of gloves, a starting pair to warm up and keep the wind out until my fingers warm up, and then before things get sweaty swap to a lighter pair. For your shoes, buy at least a half to one size up* (room for your toes to wiggle), through in a toe warmer, and love yourself a nice merino blend. * I have yet to find winter/shoe boot that actually fits to size (and assume you are wearing a thicker sock).
