Why You Should Ride a Slow, Heavy Bike in the Winter
Coachlevi.com &bull Jan 25, 2012
Winter training is generally going to be tough. You're either going to be riding inside and bored, or you'll be outside in the cold, harsh conditions. If you will be outside in the cold, along with your warm clothing, you'll… Full Story »

Tested: P90X
Coachlevi.com &bull Jan 18, 2012
P90X has nothing to do with cycling or endurance sports, but it's extremely popular (perhaps due to the Saturday morning infomercials?) and comes in a 13-DVD set, so I figured there must be something to glean from it. I mean, everywhere you look people are posting their before and after photos, so people are either getting into great shape or greatly improving their Photoshop skills! P90X is a workout program aimed at the general… Full Story »

Precision Nutrition vs The Paleo Diet
Coachlevi.com &bull Jan 11, 2012
Unless you are blessed with genetics that let you eat fast food and drink soda for every meal and still look and feel great, nutrition will play a vital role in your success in endurance sports. But you have to choose the right nutrition plan to fit your needs. I would say that Precision Nutrition and The Paleo Diet are the two hottest diet and nutrition plans in sports today. Precision Nutrition is widely known in strength training, MMA, and some other sports, while the Paleo Diet is all but a contractual obligation for anyone doing Crossfit.

Tested: Visual Impact for Women
Coachlevi.com &bull Jan 4, 2012
Training plans for women are a funny topic. When it comes to cycling and other endurance sports, training plans follow the same principles, no matter if you're a man or woman, young or old. But when it comes to getting in shape, losing weight, strength training, lifting weights, or whatever you want to call your off-season training, it's a completely different story! It makes no sense. Men and women are looking for the same results, but for some reason, their training is not based on the same principles. My only explanation for this is that… Full Story »

Tested: FRS Healthy Protein
Coachlevi.com &bull Dec 28, 2011
I guess it was only a matter of time before FRS jumped onto the protein bandwagon! Earlier this year they released FRS Healthy Protein. It is virtually the same drink as the FRS Healthy Energy in bottles, but this one contains whey protein. It's not that a carb/protein drink is bad, but these days, everyone just has to offer one.

Tested: Visual Impact Muscle Building Course
Coachlevi.com &bull Dec 7, 2011
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have some extra muscle on your body? Not a lot, but enough to look like a real athlete instead of a scrawny cyclist? If your goal is to win the Tour de France, probably not. But if you're just riding and racing for fun, you may have thought about packing on some muscle. I know I have. As I started to wind down my racing career, I realized there was no longer a need for me to have a… Full Story »

Ask Levi: Rebounders and Mini Trampolines for Recovery?
Coachlevi.com &bull Nov 23, 2011
