Divide the body into six areas - legs,shoulders,biceps,triceps,chest and back. Then only train 2 of these areas a day. This allows you to give those two areas two full days of rest and recovery before doing them again if you're in an intense training period. To train the core (the stomach area) as well, split this into upper abs, lower abs and obliques (the sides) and do one of these each day as well. Hi there,

Try some deadlifts and lunges to really work the legs and hammies and glutes. Don't forget the cardio either, gotta keep the heart in great shape also. Good luck. The Squats are great for you.

Be sure to mixup the routine from time to time to keep things fresh. Cardio is a huge help too. Last year I spent months conditioning and was powering past just about everyone I rode with. This year I've hired a personal trainer with the hopes of doing the same again, but better, and faster, and bigger, etc. Keep with it, the rewards of being in shape while riding are huge.

The squats and calf raises I'm sure are going to pay off big time. Had a busy week and didn't make it to the gym much, but have kept up the cycling so am doing something pretty much every day. Know what you're saying though. Bring on the real thing! Is going OK. The squats and calf raises I’m sure are going to pay off big time.

I've managed to maintain 3 days a week or more for 5 weeks now. I'm definitely ready to stop working out and start riding. How’s the routine coming?
