Workout: Functional Strength for Biking

Recorded Wednesday, June 16th 2021 LIVE with Sarah Histand!

 

What you'll need for this workout: 

(Optional) equipment for this workout: 

  • Tall-backed chair
  • Gliding Discs, paper plates, or dish towels
  • A yoga block or stack of books
  • Figure-8 band or PT stretchy band (just body weight will work fine, too!)
  • And, we made you a playlist! Feel free to put this on in the background for some extra umph! 

There's a bit of intro that happens in this video that will be helpful if you've never worked out with me before. But if you're ready to get going on short on time, feel free to skip to 12:20 and the action will start soon after!

how mind & mountain came to be

Mind & Mountain was born in the mountains outside of Valdez, Alaska, where I was learning to backcountry ski, teaching fitness classes, and finishing up my Social Work Master's degree.

learn more about training with mind & mountain

At Mind & Mountain, we provide online training to build functional strength for outdoor recreation. Our programs help you cross-train from your living room so your outdoor adventures are more fun and you are less prone to injury.

Our programs are all based on Mindful Interval Training and can be done anywhere with internet access. We train using an Annual Training Cycle. You can get to know more about the ethos behind our work and our team here! 

at mind & mountain, we believe:

Outdoors are for everyone. All shapes, sizes, genders, races, sexual identities, ages, abilities. All bodies are good bodies, and all are welcome here.

Strength is the key. Functional strength helps us play in the mountains without injury, and have more fun doing it. And you don’t have to give up your other priorities — or do a workout program perfectly — to get strong.

Mental health matters. Exercise supports mental health when we ditch the “no-pain, no gain” pressure and replace it with titrated challenges, shifting our relationships with our bodies, & gradually increasing our capacity to do hard things without overriding our nervous systems’ cues.
