Why Strength Training Is Important
Getting on the bike and pumping those pedals only a proportion of what you should be doing to improve your cycling, that is why I incorporate strength training and core strength training in all of my cycle coaching training plans.
My vast knowledge of core strength training stems from the multiple years experience I have as a pilates teacher and personal trainer at The Fitness Vault, my bespoke basement gym in the centre of Bury St Edmunds.
Core strength is important because it helps prevent injuries and improve posture on and off the bike. Optimum power can be obtained by being more effective with our pedalling technique and transferring this through our core. Many cyclists suffer with lower back and shoulder problems related to a weak core.
