When watching the Tour de France or Tour of California climbing stages, I empathize with the poor bastards who crack and fall away from the main pack. Elite climbers combine strength, psychological discipline and aerobic godliness to artistic levels. I am awed by their stamina and grace! This video combines these attributes to help you improve your ascents. With grades up to 14% you'll be maintaining a heart rate in the mid 90's for the entirety of this difficult climb. By the end of this workout, your legs will be toast and you'll be pedaling squares!
