Indoor Cycling Intervals and Climbs

Goal: To build cardiovascular endurance and lower body strength with a cycling workout focused on varying intensities and resistance levels.

Cool Down

Gradually decrease the resistance and pedal slowly to cool down your muscles. After getting off the bike, perform static stretches for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles to enhance flexibility and aid in recovery.

Integrating cycling workouts into your fitness routine can lead to significant cardiovascular and muscular benefits. Keep a detailed log of your workouts with resistance levels, duration, and feel in a workout planner. To support your training, adapt your diet to include protein-rich foods for recovery, stay well-hydrated, and consider daily vitamins for men or daily vitamins for women to ensure well-rounded nutrition. Adjust the workout intensity based on your personal endurance and strength.
