I have stepped up core work a bit.
More abdominal work.

Also, am doing plenty of leg work. Elliptical or glider machine at the gym for 20-40 min approx 3x/wk.
Add some knee strengthening in once/twice a week.

A yoga class or two which includes strengthing and stretching.

Once the bike is functioning a bit of road riding.

I think MOUNTAIN biking would be tremendously great cross training! Rumor has it you will be doing a bit of that!

I did a 2 mile run earlier this past week. Felt great. Until a few days later. Everything was sore from not having run in 9 mos.
I miss running, but don't know if I should anymore. Too many joint aches.

I like mixing up my workouts. I try to rotate what I do. Keeps it fresher, especially since I am more gym oriented these days, instead of outside oriented.

Remember fondly those cold 6-8 miles in the middle of winter. Sometimes in the snow. The silence except for the sound of your breathe and feet on the ground.
Ah well, time to move on.
