As an old guy who only started swimming (once a week) a couple of months ago, must say I am absolutely loving it. My goal is to find doing endless laps boring! 😅 Started not being able to make the 25m to the other end. Trying to focus on doing the correct technique is a lot more challenging/frustrating/enjoyable then I expected. Started swimming as my upper body was wasting away (saw immediate improvements) swimming/cycling seems an excellent combination, especially if old.

Spot on Jesse wrt the uphill hiking and stair climbing benefits. I am a runner and find the cross over benefits are very real. Equally riding has helped with my mountain running i.e. hard uphill hiking. Great vlog 👍

Totally agree with walking. Been without a bike for about 6 weeks so have been doing speed walking (lmao) and hiking for some stimulation. However, I’d guess that walking probably wouldn’t work as well for fitter athletes as they’d end up needing to run to get same hr response.

Cross training on a rower has been a game changer for me but I own one so I've been able to adapt and get a good workout. But it takes months of work to get to the point where you can do a VO2 Max level workout on it.

Skipping rope, fits in a bag, similar heart rate to zone 2 - or you can speed it up for intervals, less stress on the knees than running and can learn new tricks/styles to break the monotony and you feel like you are in a training montage for a rocky movie.

@@e46t I haven't had this, you really want to bounce on your balls of feet and try and keep the jump as low as possible, just enough to let the rope pass under. Like anything you need to start out slow and build up to go for longer workouts, it does take practice to get the coordination down

Increase training load into the day of leaving, first 3 days off as recovery. Then 3 day cycle: Day 1 aerobic intensity (HR at or > thresh) for > 12 minutes cumulative. Day 2 steady low aerobic >45 minutes, Day 3 rest. Repeat till I get home.

5:23 I thought part of the benefits of cross training was to work out different muscles and similar muscles in different ways? Wouldn’t that make running an effective cross training partner to cycling since you get all the cardio benefits as well as not a perfect overlap in musculature fatigue.

Have to disagree with 0 cardio for rowing. Even if you don't have the strength, like you mentioned in this video, you can still set the rower to the easiest resistance level and do intervals, sprints etc If you are getting zero cardio...I'd say something is definitely wrong in my opinion.

yep not quite zero, exaggerating there. More the duration being the issue. It would be interesting to test, but my prediction is most cyclists would be spent after 10-15 mins on the rowing machine

As a rower who cycles, not a cyclist who rows, I had to laugh when Jesse gave it 0 for cardio. IF you know what you are doing and have access to a decent machine, it is the most effective cardio anywhere. All the way from sprint intervals through VO2 max to ftp for an hour.

The cardio ratings seem tricky and somewhat personal. Running has the capacity to provide a very intense stimulus, yes, but in my experience I don't find running to be a very good cross-training modality because it's like one long tempo/threshold interval. As I run heart rate works up to ~75% of max within the first few minutes, then as the miles tick on it just drifts upwards. Uphill hiking is more where I find myself in a steady state and I feel like I'm getting a more specific cardiovascular benefit. Maybe I've just outed myself as being not particularly fit...

Not so true, at least in the UK. I mean the perception of the sport, as for the proper cost at a competitive level pretty much any sport is a rich boy affair as one has to pay race entry fees and travel to the venues, pay for hotels etc. There are lots of clubs with a working class heritage here. My local one in Warrington, for instance, or one of the oldest clubs in the country based in Salford Quays. Rugby at its origin used to be a proper posh boys' sport.
