The dangers of extreme dieting and its effect on athletic performance



Combining mindful eating and meal tracking can indeed be a powerful duo, giving space for intuition and data. It's all about finding the right balance! And speaking of balance, let's not forget about cross-training. 🤸♂️ Cycling is undoubtedly an amazing sport, but incorporating other activities, like yoga or swimming, can help improve our overall fitness and flexibility. Ever tried a yoga sequence specifically designed for cyclists? It's a game-changer!

As for interval training, I couldn't agree more. It keeps things exciting and helps us build that extra strength needed to conquer those challenging terrains. I like to mix it up with some sprint intervals, hill repeats, and even the occasional spin class. 🎶

Now, I'm curious - what's your favorite cross-training activity, and how has it helped enhance your cycling experience? Let's share and learn from each other's unique approaches! 💪🚴♂️🌟
 
Is the push for cross-training and mindful eating just another distraction from the real issue? Are we still ignoring how the pressure to maintain a certain physique affects not just performance but mental health too? 🤔
