I'm 44 years old now, and if I could go back and talk to my 36-year-old self about life, fitness and cycling, here's what I would say.

57 here. The one thing I wish I'd known earlier is that happiness is a threshold, not a value. If you are not happy enough, you will be unhappy. If you are happy enough you will be happy. Sometimes it's hard to stay above that threshold. Take every opportunity. Don't think, "This only moves the needle a little bit. I need something to make me super happy". That tiny improvement may actually make all the difference in the world for you.
Bonus wish I'd known: posture is about where you put your head, not how straight your back is. Took me 50 years to learn that!
No it's not late i am a cancer survivor 34 years old riding every day for the local races pushing my body to extreme taking care of myself more than ever you are right damian happiness is state of choices you make! Loved this video 🌹

Definitely agree with the need to do strength training for longevity and injury prevention. It’s important to think long term about your physical health, and how you can avoid overuse injuries in the future.
I’m 45, Cycled all my life and to a competitive level, started running as wanted to start Duathlon and triathlon and it changed my life. As much as I enjoyed cycling and am still vary passionate about it I absolutely love the simplicity and ease of running. My body has changed so much and my health and fitness which were already at a good level have massively increased. Moral of the story don’t throw all eggs in one basket like I did for many years, multi sports are the key.
Well said. I try to do the gym for weights at least twice a week. I am 54 and was told some years ago weight training becomes more important as you get older, in order to maintain muscle mass. I enjoy cycling but consider weight training as an added component to keep me healthy. When I began road cycling some 4 years ago, I weighed 195 ibs, I am now 150 (intermittent fasting also helped) Though I work my legs, I find its also important to work other areas of my body that cycling won't
I swiched from Gym to cycling this year, because i didn't wanted to be inside all day. Now i can enjoy nature with my rides outside, and get fitness inside with Zwift and some Gym work if the weather is bad.
Actually adding aerobic work to a gym heavy history is just as good of a change. You need both!
I do both. Just doing cycling when you can't ride isn't good. As He said, you need both. Both needs to be consistent week in week out.
I am 36, i hear you. I just hope what you are about to say i did back in my 20's
Well said. For all of us non pros, being fit>fast anyday.
Hit the gym, build those muscles and bones. Your body will thank you when you hit your 60s with a skeletal system that can deadlift 200 pounds and do an all day ride, as opposed to being able to zoom up all huez but get a sore back from lifting the trainer out of storage during winter.
Needed to hear this. I`m 36 atm, and having same thoughts :)
Cycling is amazing. Im 61 and have never owned a car. My folding bike is my transport in lodon most of the time.
I second that. Started three years ago with weightlifting.
I turn 34 in a few days. I started road cycling this year and went to the gym for the first time at the age of 31. I used to do a lot of team sports in my teenage years and in my twenties. I agree with everything you said.
I started doing gym work again about a year ago, for longevity purposes and to rebuild my body a bit more after an accident. I've not looked back. I enjoy it and I have found more comfort on the bike. The only bad days have been when I've gone to the gym in the morning and then had a tough bike workout in the evening but that in itself built resilience. If you've not done any strength work for a while I can highly recommend it.
You are one likable dude!
If you are into endurance sports then
1. You must not neglect resistance/strength training. This increases muscles to endure the work load and do it faster
2. Even more important to do yoga. Start with hatha yoga for a year or two and try ashtanga as dedicated as your endurance activity. Your injury prevention and recovery will hit an another level.
I'm not sure the video owner answered what exactly you are supposed to do.. my 2 cents
I am 21 should I just continue just doing deep squats with good form after I cycle ?
compliment it by Ultra marathon and you'll be resilient physicall and mentally
I'm very fixated on my cycling results as of now, I understand the purpose of strength training and I want to give my weekly plan a change. I don't want to hit the gym, I have a dumbell, can I work with that? Or is it mandatory to go the gym?
Bodyweight exercises and a dumbbell can take you very far!! If you are willing to invest a little further, there are some low cost items that will help an at-home weights based routine a lot. 1) long resistance bands. ~$45 for a set of 5. 2) short resistance bands. ~$12 for a set of 5. 3) doorframe pullup bar. ~$45. 4) milk/orange juice jugs. Drink the beverage, rinse, re-fill with water. 5) yoga mat. Not really for yoga, but for comfort on the floor (unless you like your floor as-is).
This is all it really took to get me out of lockdown era pretty damn toned. Didn't even have a dumbbell at the time.
To make exercises more challenging when you don't have a big weight like at the gym, hold the position longer then force it faster (like nose-to-ground pushup pose for 5-10sec, then go up FAST, repeat 5-10x - that's better than 20 basic pushups without holds or speed changes).
@@questgivercyradis8462 thank you for that amazing guide, I appreciate it. I have some items already, another question, did you follow a specific routine for cyclists or a general one? and if you happen to have a couple of videos or channels that suit the home training style
Take up track cycling, get fast AND strong 😁. (No really, track is awesome)
