Programme Overview
This is a 4 week fitness programme, with each week being broken into 3 segments; Workout A, B and C. Each segment (A, B and C) should be performed once over the course of one week. The exercises in each of these workouts have been specifically chosen to improve your mountain bike fitness with the main aim of getting you up that hill; improving both your strength and endurance.
Each workout (A, B and C) will be broken down into ‘Warm-up’, ‘Workout’ and ‘Cooldown’ sections, with an estimation of how long each section should take you to complete. Within these sections there will be videos displaying the correct technique for each move, tips on how to improve your form, difficulty adjusters, as well as sets, reps and timing instructions.
How This Programme Will Help Your Climb Fitness
Leg Power: Stronger legs mean more efficient pedalling and better control on steep, technical climbs.
Endurance: Cardiovascular intervals build the endurance needed to sustain effort over extended periods.
Core Stability: A stronger core keeps you balanced on the bike, improving posture and reducing fatigue on long rides.
Full-Body Strength: Strengthening the upper and lower body ensures you can handle technical sections and control the bike over varied terrain.
This program is designed with mountain biking-specific fitness principles in mind, ensuring that the strength, endurance, and stability you build directly transfer to improved climbing performance on the trails.
FAQ’s
-
Training off the bike allows you to target specific areas which can be hard to address during rides. It’s more efficient than doing structured, time-consuming workouts on the bike, especially if you only ride a few times a week. This way, you can improve your performance without sacrificing valuable riding time.
