Why is a strong core so important for cyclists?

Core work should be an integral part of every cyclist’s training because a strong core has a significant impact on performance, stability, and injury prevention.


A strong core, ensures you become more efficient on the bike by preventing rocking and swaying. This means all energy produced can be delivered in a smooth pedal stroke, resulting in efficient power transfer from the legs to the pedals. By minimising energy loss, a strong core enables cyclists to generate more power, resulting in improved speed and endurance. A stable upper body can also help prevent the body from compensating and using other muscles, reducing the risk of overuse injuries and back, shoulders and neck pain. 

Let's get your core sorted with our 30 day Core Challenge.  


Does This Sound familiar?

  • "I've done Level 1 and really felt the benefits so I'm now looking to progress my core strength further."  
  • " I want to improve my power output on the bike and I still feel I lack good bike control."
  • " I've reached a plateau and not getting any quicker or stronger on the bike." 
  • "I'm looking for more structure and progression to add to my current strength training."

 Building on the exercises within the level 1 programme, our level 2 core challenge has been designed to take your core strength to new levels as the exercises become more advanced and varied. We introduce back core exercises, increase the amount of lower ab exercises to build on your current core strength and also introduce the advanced Njinga Core Trio to replace the Crunch Trio.

Unlock your full cycling potential with our comprehensive core challenge and become more stable and efficient on the bike.

"I have just completed the 30 day programme and I am reaping the benefits. I especially noticed how much stronger I am in the core exercises - to think I’d complete 120 crunches in a row at the start of this. But I’ve got through the crunch trio every single day - Looking forward to the next one."
