In this article, you are going to learn about a simple cycling
workout that you can implement so as to improve your cycling speed. You will

equipment. All you need is a bike and a flat (preferably, a long-distance)
trail or track where you can ride your bike.
Here are the 5 steps in this cycling workout that will help you to boost your cycling speed.
1. To
start off you will need to warm up.
This is vital so as to ensure
that your body is in a good condition (that is, not cold) to train without
posing the risk of an injury. To warm up, run around at a slow pace or even jog
on the spot. Please don’t skip this step.
2. Set your gear at a relatively high gear.
Then to start training, get
on your bike and then set your bike gear to a relatively high gear. This is so
as to make sure that you put some pressure on your muscles when riding. Also do
not set it too high if youre not used too riding at such a high gear and also
not too low, as it will not help you improve your fitness fast enough. Set it
at a moderately high level.
3. Ride at a fast pace for a set time.
In this cycling workout, you
are going to be cycling for a short period of time, for example, for sets of 20
seconds at fast pace. Don’t worry about how fast you ride just ride at a fast
speed, but also not too fast that you get extremely worn out and could hurt
your body.
4. Pedal lightly and slowly after a set.
After riding for 20 seconds
slowdown, while still pedaling easily, in order that you may be able to regain
your breath, and then repeat this process. Slowdown for approximately for 10
seconds.
5. Repeat this process.
After the 10 seconds of
resting, repeat this process for 8 10 times. Riding fast and then slowly so as
to rest.
This is a good cycling
exercise and it will help you to improve your fitness and also oxygen uptake
levels. Ultimately, your cycling speed will improve. Do this cycling workout
around 3 times a week consistently.
Remember that consistency is
key in all cycling workouts.
All the best with your cycling training.
