Re: tredmill and eliptical
It all depends on what kind of 'riding shape' you are in. Agree with the other posters... treadmilling et al will help your overall fitness, but will not do much for your riding.
Unless you have some extra weight to lose, in that case things like the treadmill can help you lose weight when riding is not an option because of work/daylight hours.

Re: tredmill and eliptical
The elliptical is probably the next best thing though if being on a bike of some form is not possible. The leg motion is close to a pedalling action as if you're out of the saddle. The motion is roughly circular (er, elliptical
 ) as if you had short cranks.I have an elite client who uses an elliptical trainer as an alternative when riding isn't an option. Better than doing nothing. |
