QUICK EXERCISES FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING
Posted on February 01 2017
Putting the hours in down the gym can be a challenge, though, due to work, life and family commitments. If this is the case, a lot can still be achieved in 45 minutes. Split the session into four blocks, wrap it up with a short warm-up and cool-down, and you’re set!
1. DYNAMIC MOBILITY
5mins: Flowing mobility moves.
Work from the ground to standing, flowing through moves such as cat-camel, deep lunges, T-spine rotations, squats, downward dog, etc.
2. ACTIVATION
5–10mins: Explosive movements.
Jumps, plyometrics, etc. Low total number of repetitions.
3. BASIC STRENGTH
15–20mins: Compound movements.
Dead lifts, squats, rows, pressing, hinging, etc.
4. CONDITIONING
5–10mins: Use bike, rower or body weight moves.
