The off-season is a great time to work on your strength and power (but I also argue that ALL year is the best time to work on it!). In this episode, I share a couple of mountain bike workouts that you can do in the off-season if the trails aren’t accessible to you because of weather or whatever reason.

Check out my blog and the two workouts I share with Women’s MTB Network here: https://womensmtbnetwork.com/offseason-mtb-workouts/. That link also included demo videos so you can see how to do the exercises, so check it out! A million thanks to the Women’s MTB Network for letting me be a part of their magical community. Be sure to join the Women’s MTB Network for their monthly newsletter and all of the amazing work they do to expand opportunities for women in mountain biking.
