Plan Description

Build real strength that shows up on the bike.

This program is for cyclists who want to ride stronger, feel more stable, and stay injury-free—without sacrificing valuable ride time or burning out. Whether you're coming off a long season or weaving strength work into your training weeks, this 8-week plan is designed to complement your riding, not compete with it.

Expect a smart, structured approach:
✔️ 2–3 full-body strength sessions per week to develop control, resilience, and on-bike power
✔️ 1 mobility-focused session weekly to improve movement quality and help with recovery
✔️ All exercises include guided video demos you can follow from wherever you train

We focus on the kind of strength work that matters for cyclists—hip stability, core control, single-leg strength, and dynamic balance—so you feel solid in the saddle and strong at the pedals. No fluff, no wasted time.

You’ll need: a foam roller or massage ball, a resistance band or old bike tube, and a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells. If your goal is to lift heavier and build maximum strength, you may want to invest in a few additional weights as you progress. We can help guide you on what’s worth having in your setup.

This is the plan we give our coached athletes—and the one we use ourselves as lifelong cyclists and coaches. Because off-the-bike work matters just as much as time in the saddle when it comes to staying fast, fit, and ready for whatever adventures are ahead.
