Strength training is a crucial component of any cyclist's training regimen. By incorporating strength exercises into your routine, you can improve your cycling performance and reduce the risk of injury. Strength training helps build the muscles used during cycling, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, leading to increased power and endurance on the bike. Additionally, it enhances overall body stability and balance, which is essential for maintaining proper form and control while riding. By strengthening your core and upper body, you can also improve your posture and reduce fatigue during long rides. So, whether you're a competitive cyclist or a casual rider, adding strength training to your routine will undoubtedly take your cycling to the next level.
Our strength training exercises target the muscles used in cycling, leading to increased power, speed, and endurance on the bike. You'll experience a noticeable improvement in your overall cycling performance.
Cycling can put strain on certain muscle groups, leading to imbalances and potential injuries. Our program focuses on strengthening these specific muscles, reducing the risk of common cycling-related injuries.
By incorporating strength training into your cycling routine, you'll develop the muscular endurance necessary to tackle long rides and challenging terrains. You'll be able to maintain a strong and efficient pedal stroke for longer durations.
Our training program includes exercises that target the lower body, core, and upper body muscles, resulting in increased power output during sprints, hill climbs, and accelerations.
1. Prioritise cycling workouts: Make sure your cycling workouts remain the main focus of your training routine.
2. Schedule strength training: Dedicate 1-2 days per week for strength training.
3. Time your workouts: Avoid doing strength training immediately before or after intense cycling sessions, as it may hinder your performance. Instead, space them out by at least 24 hours.
4. Balance intensity and volume: Adjust the intensity and volume of your strength training based on your cycling goals.
5. Listen to your body: Pay attention to how your body feels and adjust your training accordingly.
Knowing what you eat is the first step into understanding your nutrition. We start by keeping a food diary and tracking what goes in, which in turn will determine what goes out. The energy needed to perform on the bike comes from what we eat. Are you eating enough or the right carbs to sustain energy for longer rides? Are you eating enough protein to rebuild muscle so you can be stronger? Are you eating regularly while riding so as to not deplete your energy source? These are questions we cannot answer unless we understand the importance of nutrition. Together we will work together to make sure you are equipped to fuel your body correctly so you can maximise your effort on the bike but also feel energised to perform your day to day tasks with ease.
