The key to successful and injury-free bicycle riding is complete balance and strength, says Sovndal, and explains the anatomy of cycling through various training exercises. He suggests that keeping the cycling aspects in mind while working out in the gym will make it easier to apply the gym training when actually riding. His topics are the cyclist in motion, strength training principles, arms, shoulders and neck, chest, back, core, leg isolation, leg complete power, and whole-body training for cycling.
