Outside magazine, February 1999


1999 Fitness Special
All good things must come to an end, and so too the five-month Outside Fitness Plan. But in this case, the grand finale is just the beginning: Day One of a new program specifically tailored to your chosen sport — and designed to last a lifetime.

Finishing Strong
You're leaner, harder, wiser. Now comes the fun part: putting it to use. The grand finale of the Outside Fitness Plan shows you how to clean the competition's clock, no matter whether you're going against the very best, or just your previous best.

Skiing
Can you say human shock absorber? Good. Here's how to be one.

Running
You do it with your legs, but the power comes from someplace else.

Cycling
It's not the size of the quads, it's the strength of their supporting cast.

Swimming
What'll you have? How about a shot of muscle fatigue with a plyometric chaser.

Climbing
Lat pulldowns. Prone shoulder raises. Seated cable rows. Etc. Etc. Etc. Get the idea?

Paddling
If you think you know how to push and pull, you better think again.
