Warm-Up
Warm up is of critical importance to the success of your cy-
cling. Th
e demands of your riding profi le should be prepared
in the warm-up to achieve maximal results. You must get
your working muscles to a temperature of optimum per-
formance where the circulatory system is delivering oxygen
and nutrients effi
ciently to those muscles. Depending on the
workout session goal, warm up can take from 15 minute to
20 minutes.
