How I Stay MTB-Fit After 40

Mountain biking after 40 changed the way I think about fitness. For years, my answer to getting fitter was simple: ride more. But I eventually noticed that late in a ride my fitness wasn't always the real problem. My skills were still there — I just didn't always have enough physical reserve left to use them. In this video, I share what I've changed: strength training, genuinely easy riding, targeted intensity, usable mobility and better recovery. Nothing complicated. No six-day training plan. No attempt to train like a 25-year-old. The goal is much simpler: Arrive at the best part of the ride with enough strength, movement and concentration left to actually enjoy it. If you're balancing mountain biking with work, family and everything else that happens in your 40s and 50s, this is the type of training that makes sense to me. What disappears first for you on a long ride: legs, lungs, lower back or confidence? #MountainBiking #MTBFitness #MTBTraining
