Lift Weights Now to Ride Faster Next Year
If you want to ride faster next year, consider doing a block of weightlifting now.
The power you build in the gym translates into power on the bike outside. Weight lifting for cycling doesn’t have to be complicated; in fact, it’s better to keep it simple. At FasCat, we advocate for just three exercises: the squat, the leg press, and the leg curl. That’s it.
Just like any exercise and particularly one that involves weights, start off nice and slow. Or in this case, nice and *light*. Over a couple of weeks, slowly add weight each time you go into the gym.
