Meditation for Cyclists

Before going to sleep tonight, I'm going to listen to the Emerald Waterfall Meditation by Master Co.

Just visit http://pranichealing.com/emerald-waterfall-meditation

Listen to the guided meditation, and you will have a better rest tonight.

Through this guided meditation you will experience a full body relaxation and deep energetic cleansing using green prana.


If you use any Health apps such as Sleep Cycle or Instant Heart Rate, you can probably track your sleeping profile and heart rate over the next few nights and days, and hopefully will find a much better sleeping quality, and a lower heart rate too as a result.

Two example health apps

I certainly have, and the metrics in Sleep Cycle confirm that for me.

Even though I drank tea and coffee and had a stressful day at work, instead of having a restless night, I was able to fall asleep quickly and get some real quality sleep

Try it. You'll thank me later.

Goodnight.

Note: even on an iOS device you can simply go this link and listen to the guided meditation without downloading the file.

Exercise routine for cyclists - Day 3

I haven't exercised properly since the last time I posted about my exercise routine and today, due to a very stressful time at work and home.

I won't go into details of my personal life, nor my work life, but I am pleased to say today I started exercising again!

Now, before I post about the routine, let's just mention that a recent study has found people who post their exercise routines on Facebook have psychological problems. Oh well...

So here it goes. Obviously I needed to get some total body exercise routine and my Day 3 routine on VT Vipr looks like this:

The reason for having some exercises appear twice in the list is to take into account the left/right alternation: I do one set with say the left leg/arm, and the next set of the same exercise with the right leg/arm.

I set the app to run three sets of each exercise, 30 seconds in duration, with 30 seconds rest.

I used the 8Kg ViPR for the jumps and Ice Skater, and the 4Kg ViPR for the rest of the routine, which was heavier on the arms and shoulders.

At 23 minutes in duration, this was a good workout.

I have also decided that instead of performing these routines in the morning, I will perform them mostly in the evening before bed. This should ensure I actually fall asleep quicker and get a better rest for the morning.

Exercise routine for cyclists - Day 1

Today I started my 3 day exercise routine in preparation for the cyclocross race on 22nd January in Abingdon.

With just over a week to go, I need a sure fire way of getting my fitness back after the joys of Christmas and new year took a toll on me.

About a couple of years ago I invested in a set of exercise equipment called ViPR (

official page here). I bought the 4Kg, 8Kg and 16Kg models, second hand on eBay. 

Here is what the Day 1 routine looks like using an App called VT ViPR:
