EXERCISES FORYOUR NEW TECH
Three classic moves
to give your heart-rate
monitor a workout.Anyone can go hard,
but it’s how quickly you
recover from a hard
effort that’s a true mea-
sure of fitness. Do any
of the exercises below
nonstop until your heart
rate reaches 95 percent
or more of its maximum.
(Your HR monitor will
tell you this.) Then stop
and time how long it
takes to drop to 50 per-
cent of your max. For
an average 45-year-old
man, these numbers
would be about 170 and
88, respectively.Test yourself every
few weeks. A shorter
recovery time means
you’re getting fitter.Burpee
Stand tall. Bend at
your hips and knees and
squat, lowering your
torso and placing your
hands on the floor. Kick
your legs backward into
a pushup position. Do a
pushup; then immedi-
ately reverse the move
and quickly stand up
from the squat. Repeat.Medicine Ball Slam
Stand with your feet hip
width apart, holding a
medicine ball over your
head. Explosively slam
the ball to the floor in
front of you. Grab it on
the rebound and repeat.Jump Rope
Quickly skip the rope,
doing double-unders if
you’re able to.Specialized Roubaix Elite

road frame Specialized has ever produced. The company
partnered with Formula One leader McLaren to engineer a
smoother and more comfortable ride. A spring in the new
suspension system absorbs shocks to the handlebar to help
reduce fatigue, while disc brakes and bigger tires make it
versatile enough to cruise over both pavement and gravel.
