I love riding my bike and spinning isn't so bad either, so I don't see them as a chore. On off days I'll also take my dog for a long walk. I also do an abs class a couple times a month, as well as abs work on my own to work on my core muscles to help me improve my running form.

I got some symptoms of arthritis long after that, and had another love-hate relationship with running itself for some time. Now I incorporate 2-3 times of XT per week and running never felt easier!

Fitting yoga in too is helping. Swim - Bike - Run (collapse!)

I became hooking on spinning after a cycling injury. There's the traditional Spinning format, or the awesome and new bikes that move side-to-side (hello core muscles!) called RealRyder. Check it out!
