warm-Up
Warm up is of critical importance to the success of your cy-
cling. The demands of your riding profile 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 efficiently to those muscles. Depending on the
workout session goal, warm up can take from 15 minute to
20 minutes.
