I used to race bikes, the pedal kind. Road and mtn. I could average a brisk 20mph on my road bike, even with my short legs, and would spin off 20 miles or so 5 or 6 days a week. Now, since i’ve been basically sedentary for like 4 years, i’m just a fat ass. This thread, and being a lard ass, has motivated me.

Anyone have some suggestions for some strength work that I can do quickly, at home? I hate gyms, but I love free weights. At most I have an hour, hour and half to exercise in the morning, 3 or 4 days a week. I’ll spend 30-45 minutes on my bike. What should I do with the rest of the time?
