Looking to increase your cycling performance for the 2021 Season? MPT has you covered. #usacycling #performancetraining #strengthtraining #asheville #mtbtraining #ashevillepersonaltraining #pisgahmountainbiking #mountainbike #mountainbikeracing #endurancetraining
Next week I’ll be taking on the #rockstar270trail so I wanted to get one more shake down ride in. I decided to use this years #swiftcampout to camp with friends and connect with new rad humans by the fire. I wanted to give myself a little gut check so I took a 4hr nap in my bivy before taking off for Heartbreak Ridge in middle of the night solo. Feeling hungry for some Virginia Trails and new adventures. #trekbikes #useyourfitness #libertybikesavl #kitsbow #kitsbowridehouse #oldfortnc #adventurebybike #dohardthings #mtblife #bikepacking #revelatedesigns #mountainlife #mountainbike #adventure #staystoked

“If you really want to do it, you do it. There are no excuses. “ — Bruce Nauman.
Some days we wake up and really aren’t feeling it. Then there are days like today where not only is there the internal battle, but one against the elements too 🌧.
At MPT our mountain athletes understand that it’s not just about the body, it’s also about the mind. 🧠
Sign up today and join a team of athletes that know how to push through excuses to achieve excellence ✨

Balance is key ☯️
This isn’t just new age rhetoric, this is practical wisdom that has tangible applications for our bodies. Simply put, when your muscles are doing your skeleton’s job, you’re in for a rough time. 🏴☠️
To combat help re-educate your body, come to Steven’s yoga class at @ful_flow_yoga this Sunday at 11am
Reserve a spot early and let’s create some space together 🤙

MPT is here to help with all your fitness needs!
Today we’ve highlighted the forward fold. A great movement that can be used to reveal just how happy a few different muscle groups are. 😉
Following NASM guidance, our 4 part plan is to roll, stretch, strengthen, and integrate. 👩🔬
Following the full routine recommended in this video should take no more than 10 minutes and will provide immediate results. 🤗
Got more than 10 minutes? Then come check out our new mobility workshop class every Wednesday at 6p, starting 10/14. 💪
Stay classy y’all 😎

At MPT we want to know your name. We want to know your joys and, if you’d let us, we’d like to know your struggles. 🙂
We believe we are all interconnected. It’s not just about pushing each other, it’s about holding each other up too. 😤

Push beyond your “Limits.”
Most of our limitations are imagined ones. Psychological barriers that prevent us from accessing our full potential. Once removed, an athlete can truly begin to thrive.
On November 14th MPT will be having a kettlebell workshop with renowned Russian Kettlebell Certified Instructor Pavel Stejskal. If you’re looking to move those blocks in your routine, this is the class for you.
Space will be limited, so be sure to register so that you don’t miss out!

The work week can be exhausting and leave us feeling drained. Remember to take time for self care to reenergize before heading into the next week.
Head to the top of a mountain, take time to connect with friends, send it!

If you’re looking to add more stability and balance into your adventures start adding some counter rotation exercises into your routine.
Runners, this means you will better equipped to resist ground force reactions and better handle technical terrain.
Mountain bikers, learning to engage your deep core muscles will help you feel solid over the roots, rocks and drops.
If the Bosu version is too advanced try this exercise standing on the floor.
