Review
This e-book contains 101 training workouts for road cyclists. It is intended to provide you with a menu of many possible rides and workout options as you plan your training rides and program. There is no reason to be bored or reach a plateau in your training if you use even half of these workouts. Workouts are grouped according to the type of physiological system trained, so you can easily find workouts for the given objective of the day. Remember, every ride or workout should have a purpose: to improve some aspect of your cycling fitness. Each chapter gives you multiple workouts to target each particular physiological system.
This book can also serve as a companion to training plans and other books which offer a training outline but don’t provide specific workouts, or a wide enough variety of workouts. So try a variety of workouts offered in this book. Just remember to ask your physician before beginning a strenuous exercise program. You won’t like all of these workouts, but you will also find some that become favourites. The important thing to remember is to continue to stress your body in new and different ways.
That’s how you will improve, by continually changing up your routine and throwing different workouts at your body. The workouts contained within this book can do that for you.
Verdict
101 Cycling Workouts is essential for your cycling library!
Get one and enjoy!
