Why is off-bike conditioning so important for cyclists?

It’s quite simple: If your key cycling muscles are not properly conditioned, they’re going to limit your power on the bike. You’ll tire quickly, open yourself up to injury, and waste energy and power.

This programme has been designed to build your core strength to improve your balance and to strengthen your key cycling muscles to improve your stability, power, and stamina. The core sessions will include a combination of exercises that will work on your front, back and side core muscles, whilst the strength workouts will have a different focus each day of the week (Upper, lower and whole body). 

Let's unlock your full cycling potential.  


Does This Sound Like You?

  • "I struggle with neck, shoulder and lower back pain and find I often suffer with injuries."  
  • "I have a weak core and want more help to strengthen it so I can start to improve my bike control and find it easier to maintain good form on the bike." 
  • "I've reached a plateau and not getting any faster or stronger on the bike and I'm struggling to stick to a routine or stay motivated on my own." 
  • "My body starts feeling tired and overworked early into every ride."

This programme focuses on the key area cyclists often ignore, avoid or do incorrectly.

"This S&C programme was my fifth one with Njinga, and they just keep getting better. The structure is great, the sessions are short enough to fit in your schedule, and it really makes a difference having Togo push you - but also doing all the sessions himself vs. just exercising by yourself. This programme delivered significant improvements across the board and has already helped in making me feel stronger on my bike rides."
