Cycling injuries are often one sided. Perhaps one leg is compensating for another, or one side is tighter than the other. Strength training is a great way to stay balanced.
The goal of a cycling-specific strength training plan is to easily produce peddling power and increase overall efficiency. Not only will this reduce niggles, but it’ll also help you ride faster and further. A great strength exercise to do this is the squat.
Squats will help strengthen your glutes and quads - the most important muscles you need to generate power when you pedal. It’ll also help stabilise your core, giving you more control and increasing your power output.
The squat is one of the many exercises that will improve your control and power to get the strength you need. Book a session to strengthen your legs.
If you engage in these exercises, you agree that you do so at your own risk and assume all risk of injury to yourself.
