articles to his credit. His writing has been carried by the
New York Times Syndicate and the online edition of the
Wall Street Journal. At present Dave serves as the editor for
the bicycling site on about.com. His favourite type of cycling is
whatever he’s doing at the moment, and he rides to work
year-round, even when conditions are such that his mother
and co-workers think he's crazy.
Cycling is a great way to get fit. It’s a low-impact exercise,
which means it’s kinder on your joints and an ideal way for
people of all ages and abilities to get regular workouts. In fact,
studies have shown that regular cyclists enjoy the health of
people ten years younger.
Whether you’re an absolute beginner or an experienced
competitive cyclist,
Ride Fit gives you the advice and
information you need to maintain and improve your level of
fitness. Graded training programs take you from a beginner’s
regimen all the way to top-level competition schedules. Based
on your current level of experience and fitness you can start
with the program that best suits your skill level. Author David
Fiedler includes valuable advice about equipment, with
information on the various types of cycling and tips on making
the right choice to suit your personal style. He also adds
suggestions on easy ways to slot cycling into your daily
routine. Detailed charts will help you gauge your weekly
progress at refresher level, intermediate level and top level.
Whether cycling for general fitness, cardio fitness or to improve your times and endurance on the road or cross country, this is the indispensable guide to getting fit and staying fit through cycling.
