1) WARM UP

Warming up properly is really important to make sure you aren’t stretching and exercising when your muscles are really tight.

We’ll kick off with some squats, lunges, high planks and jumping jacks.

4) UPPER BODY

Upper body might not seem as important to work out as lower body, but it’s crucial to keep a super strong core and triceps when we’re riding as well.

These are the suggestions for beginners:

• Press-ups – 10 reps
• Russian twist – 10 reps
• Shoulder taps – 10 reps
• Tricep dips – 10 reps

5) COOL DOWN

Stretching is so important after a workout – we can’t emphasise this enough.

We’ve seen first hand what happens when you workout (and shred!) hard without stretching afterwards. The muscles tighten up and eventually injury occurs.

So make sure you don’t skip this part of the session.
