Unicycling is great exercise. Surly the heart, respiratory system, and
lower body are in good shape if you do this regularly.
Maybe it's because I was so far gone shape wise, or my age (days away
from 51) is catching up with me, or 40-90 minutes of uni most days just
isn't enough. I'm just not satisfied with my progress. I feel the need
to hop higher, roll up steeper hills, and overall build my endurance.
(I am still improving, albeit slowly.)
Specifically with hopping and going up hills, I can see that skill
requires significant upper body strength beyond riding, I expect that
is my weak point. While I don't want to start doing pull-ups, push-ups,
and sit-ups, maybe that is what is needed in order to get significant
improvement.
*What are good exercises to improve unicycle skills? What does it
take?*
Additionally because winter is coming and there will be less chance to
get out ride the uni. (I know that is a bad excuse.)
