This week, we’re joined by Strength Factory’s Ben Plenge to find out how to improve our riding by being healthier humans. Ben breaks it down into five pillars of health, from nutrition and hydration, through weight and sickness management to muscle, mobility, cardio and sleep. This is the complete guide to looking after yourself, so you can have a long and happy life riding bikes and generally being a healthy, functional human. As always with Ben, there’s heaps to learn. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Ben Plenge.
