Long story short, coming off a long spell of almost no training as between young kids, work demands and blowing up my back then rehabbing it, I haven't had much consistency beyond back/core work (bird dogs, body weight squats, some ball/plank work). I'm finally getting in the swing of things so I'm not an anchor on Dee's rides (ha!)
Current layout is something like this - any key changes I should look at? Goal is just healthy fitness that leads to capability in biking, climbing and skiing.
Sat/Sun - hard ride or effort one of these days for an hour+ (zone 4/5 or hard MTB/climb), an hour at zone 2 the other day.
Mon-Fri - I have 40 minutes in the morning to jump on the trainer - typically alternate zone 2 and 4/5 with some pushups and ball work thrown in. Tuesday nights I climb, will likely add Thursday if I can.
Also, if there's any solid beginner blogs you just want to link, that would work as well.
