Plan Description

How do you train if you want to be consistent and lose weight?

You can go out and go hard every day, but this will leave you tired and burnt out. You can do the same exercise every day, but this will get boring.

This training plan is designed for the cyclist, mountain biker, or enthusiast to get consistent training in, and successfully gain enough fitness to follow a normal training routine.

There is a workout each and every day, but they won't ruin you or drive you in to the ground. At only 30 minutes per day, and with nothing insanely intense, you can be consistent--this is the number one way to help you get on track to meet your goals. And with only 3.5 hours to commit every week, anyone will have enough time to do this!

These are some of the same gym and bike workouts I use with my professional and amateur athletes...except shortened to fit in only 30 minutes per day for 30 straight days.

For the strength workouts--don't worry! You don't need to go to the gym! You can get most of this done at home with no equipment!

And for the bike workouts, you can either follow the intensity guidelines, or download the supplied files each day to your smart trainer or Zwift.

The workouts are well-suited for both XC and Enduro racers, and you will be able to join in on any standard training program--and have the confidence to do so-- after completing this plan!
