by Karen Buxton,

$18.95

The Off-Season is an important time
for recovery and planning, working on your weaknesses and indulging in other sports. This guide helps you map a winter training program to refresh your body and mind, and build strength and endurance.
  • Clearly defined goals and a step-by-step plan to meet them
  • Core strengthening exercises using Swiss and medicine balls
  • Increased flexibility through yoga
  • Drills to improve swim, bike and run performance
  • Indoor and outdoor alternatives to improve cardiovascular conditioning.

Off-season training is an opportunity to find new ways to integrate a variety of conditioning techniques into your workout regimen, renewing your ambition and strength for the year ahead.
"Ask multisport coaches what the most important part of the training year is and most will say winter. Why is this? Winter is when the athlete establishes the base of fitness that will ultimately determine race fitness later in the season."
- Joel Friel, Ultrafit Series Editor
