Want to raise your endurance and get more active? Lena’s cycling schedule has turned her from lethargic into a force of endurance.

“For my body and mind, it’s a game-changer.” You can follow along her tracks here.

Why Cycling Works miracles?
One great approach to increase muscle strength and aerobic ability is cycling. “It’s a full-leg workout,” Lena notes, “and if you cycle outside you gain the extra advantage of fresh air.”

 

Lena’s Energizing Cycling Plan

  • Warm-Up (5 Minutes): Start with a steady pace. “It gets the blood flowing to your muscles,” Lena advises.

 

  • Uphill Intervals (15 Minutes): Alternate 2 minutes of uphill cycling with 3 minutes on flat ground. “Push hard, and you’ll see improvement in no time,” she encourages.

 

  • Steady Ride (10 Minutes): Maintain a moderate speed to boost your endurance.

 

  • Cool Down (5 Minutes): Slowly bring down your pace.

Lena’s Cyclist Advice

Lena advises “Stay hydrated and invest in a good pair of padded cycling shorts”. Above all, pay close attention to your body.
