Why Strength Training Is A Must With Bekah Rottenberg
01/16/24 • 40 min
If you're anything like me, you LOVE getting out on the bike but maybe you don't like strength training quite as much. But the unfortunate truth is that we NEED to be doing strength training in addition to riding our bikes.
In this podcast interview, I chat with Bekah Rottenberg about why strength training needs to be a non-negotiable part of our routine. Bekah, who is a mountain bike skills coach and strength training coach, likes to say "you can't be strong on the bike until you get strong off the bike."
She shares the different types of movements we should be doing, common myths around strength training, and how it can improve our confidence, coordination, and mind-body connection.

How To Develop Your Mountain Bike Skills & Confidence With Joanna Yates
Whether you're new to mountain biking or just haven't progressed as far as you would like, it's likely one of two things (maybe both) that are holding you back: your skills or your confidence.
In this episode, I chat with Joanna Yates about how to develop both. Joanna is a mountain bike skills coach and guide in Sedona, Arizona. She's also a mountain bike instructor mentor, helping new mountain bike coaches get started.
We touch on a bunch of topics in this interview including how to choose a mountain bike coach, the importance of regular skills practice, and changing the stories we tell ourselves.
