Over the next 12 weeks you will do much more than improve your engine. In addition to your on the bike efforts you will run through a progressive yoga program that will increase your flexibility and core strength. Strength training is also incorporated into this plan to improve your power, endurance, and balance.

Due to the rough and tumble nature of Mountain Biking, chances are you will come off the bike a few times, so ensuring that you’re flexible and have good core strength can reduce the risk of injury from these crashes. To avoid those crashes in the first place you will have weekly trail sessions to sharpen up your handling skills. After all, it doesn’t matter that you get to the top of a climb 30 seconds faster if you lose 2 minutes on the downhill!
