  2. Evertime I ride it's a workout! I ride 80% endurance MUni and 20%
    distance 36er-ing. That combines training, a great workout and fun all
    in "ONE".🙂😎😄

  3. I just go out and ride, really... and all you gotta do when you're
    riding is push the pace a little, and you'll get faster! 🙂 Sometimes
    I'll just start going on only a 20 mile ride, and it'll end up being 50
    by the time I get home, or something. I'm not usually going hard the
    whole time, but a good 2/3 of the time I'm going as hard as I can
    sustain, I suppose. I ride my road bike, too, which I think is pretty
    essential (at least it is for me) for getting that whole-leg burn that
    short cranks and a tiny gear ratio don't seem to give me as much of.
    Mostly, all I do is just stuff that's fun, and I push myself every now
    and then when I'm doing it... that's all it really is, anyway. I'd
    probably be stronger if I trained more/more regularly/harder, but I've
    tried, and I don't have the discipline to keep anything serious up for
    more than six or eight weeks. :-/

  4. The key is daily riding of 4-5 miles. Make the route challenging. I ride
    up hill, on bridges, sidewalk next to beach. Forget the tricks because
    there is no value in exercise.😄

    No particular workout except perhaps warming up and stretching – before
    and after cycling.

  7. I alternate between unicycle and bicycle. Right now, bicycle is
    actually more of a workout, although unicycle gets me sweatier from
    lack of breeze.

  11. I do strength training four days a week and I use unicycling for an
    aerobic workout. My strength training consist mainly of push-ups,
    pull-ups, sit-ups and lunges for the legs on alternating days.

    I don't do any distance riding, just a little street and trials. For
    me trials can be extremely exhausting. I probably don't do it often
    enough so my endurance is not the best.

  13. I unicycle and run for cardio, but at the gym, I do strength training. I
    do the leg press, especially, because that works a lot of the
    hill-climbing muscles.

    Also, core strength and back strength. Otherwise you're liable to get
    all out of proportions, and hurt yourself.

    And yeah, if you think tricks don't work you out, you're not doing them
    well enough. It utilizes most every muscle in your body.

  15. Yoga and other stretching for flexibility, plyometrics and karate for
    cardio, and some dumbbell work, pull ups, and push ups for strength.
    This is in addition to any unicyling that I do. I try to do as much
    distance riding as I can in hilly areas on my 36 to work on both leg
    strength and endurance. I like lots of variety in my excerises to keep
    things interesting. Parkour is an amazing total body workout, but due
    to my shabby knees, I don't get to to it anymore.
