| Cycling endurance training is one of the best ways to | | | | Other types of squats that I like to alter are the basics |
| keep yourself in shape for races or just for everyday | | | | but try to do the one mentioned before with ankle |
| activities that require amounts of endurance to get you | | | | weights on. Yes that's right if you are comfortable with |
| though the day. Even if you are the casual cycling rider | | | | doing a good couple sets normally then set the bar |
| or if you get into the big races the routine for cycling | | | | higher and add weight. The reason for this is when |
| endurance training is still the same. | | | | you remove the weights you will be able to do these |
| There are a few different techniques for gaining | | | | much easier and gain a lot of stamina when there are |
| strength and stamina throughout you're cycling | | | | no weights on your body this will also make your |
| endurance training workout for the day. But if you | | | | cycling endurance training an easier task as well. |
| want to get to the front of the pack and make sure | | | | Then its on to the hill climbs, the same thing applies |
| that you will stay there then this will drastically help you | | | | here as you go to climb a hill, but this time try to weigh |
| improve your stamina levels and power. One of the | | | | yourself down a little and see how far you can make |
| biggest muscle groups that will be tortured in the races | | | | it up the hill without changing gears. Once you reach |
| is the legs. And there are lots of different exercises | | | | the highest you can go start from the bottom again, |
| that can be done to help strengthen and build stamina. | | | | repeat and see if you can go further than last time. If |
| Some of my favorites are getting creative with the leg | | | | you can climb a hill with weight on in your cycling |
| squats. If you can do a one legged squat then you're | | | | endurance training then you will fly up the hill when the |
| already doing excellent. For starters just try this one | | | | weight is removed. |
| out sit on a chair or raised flat area and extend one | | | | At the end of the day what is really important is that |
| leg out then try to stand up without letting the leg touch | | | | you stick to a good regime with cycling endurance |
| the ground. As your legs develop your cycling | | | | training and a good diet as well endurance and |
| endurance training will get easier as the time goes by. | | | | strength will follow shortly. |
