Motivation Monday: Get on the Bike!
Looking for some Monday motivation to get you inspired for your next bike workout? We've got some photos sure to get you rolling.
Trying to come up with an excuse as to why you can’t do that hard bike set? Forget about it.
If you ever need motivation to get yourself training hard … get yourself to a para cycling or para triathlon event.
Take, for example, Ricardo Ten Argiles, a three-time Paralympic swimming gold medalist who took to bike racing in 2017 and has quickly become a force in that sport – he won three gold medals at this weekend’s Para Cycling Track World Championship in Milton, Ontario.
Ten Argiles lost his arms and one leg when he was eight and touched a power line, but that hasn’t stopped him from being a super-successful swimmer and now cyclist. Watching him take three gold medals at this weekend’s world championships makes it easy to get on the bike for a hard workout – watching him do what he does provides ample motivation.
A few more shots of inspirational athletes we’re very likely to see compete later this year at the Paralympics in Tokyo. Hopefully they’ll help you nail that next bike set, too.
