AvatarHere are our most popular cycling training plans. We thought we’d let you know about them, in case one of them is a good fit for your fitness goals this year. They include a Beginner Cyclist Training Plan, a Complete Cycling Training Plan, and a Guide for Fat Cyclists. Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate cyclist, or even quite advanced, we have a plan for you!

Average Joe Cyclist’s Beginner Cyclist Training Plan: Phase 1

Our Most Popular Cycling Training Plans. Our Beginner's Beginner Cyclist's Training Plan will get you started, and put you on your way to keeping up with THOSE guys!
Our Beginner Cyclist’s Training Plan will get you started, and put you on your way to keeping up with THOSE guys!

This one is an ideal cycling training plan if:

  • You are just getting started with cycling; or
  • You have never followed a structured cycling training plan, and want to see how much fitter you could get with a structured plan; or
  • You want to gradually train to the point where you can tackle your first charity bike ride.

To get started, you don’t need anything but a bike and a few minutes a day! You will work your way up to three hours per week.

Click here for Average Joe Cyclist’s Beginner Cyclist Training Plan: Phase 1.

Average Joe Cyclist’s Beginner Cyclist Training Plan: Phase 2 – Interval Training

Our Most Popular Cycling Training Plans. Phase 2 is for you if you are already fit enough to cycle for one hour continuously at an easy pace
Phase 2 is for you if you are already fit enough to cycle for one hour continuously at an easy pace

This one is an ideal cycling training plan if:

  • You are already fit enough to cycle for one hour continuously at an easy pace.
  • You are ready to take your cycling fitness and ability up to the next level.

In Phase 2 of the Beginner Cyclist Training Plan you begin to incorporate interval training into your workouts. This will cause increased calorie burn, fight stress, and help you to get fit faster. Recent research also shows that high intensity interval training is the most effective exercise for fighting aging.

How to Get Bike Fit: Complete Bike Training Plan

Our Most Popular Cycling Training Plans. If you keep asking your body to do more, it will grow stronger and fitter to adapt to your demands
If you keep asking your body to do more, it will grow stronger and fitter to adapt to your demands

This one is an ideal cycling training plan if:

  • You want to get very fit within a few months, build lean muscle, shed stress, and burn a lot of calories.
  • You ultimately want to achieve a very high level of fitness – and maybe even do some competitive cycling!

This is a complete bike training plan, incorporating all of the principles and techniques of Phase 1 and 2 above. It includes a chart for measuring exercise intensity (for those who don’t own a heart rate monitor yet). This plan includes Phase 3, in which you kick it up a further notch to achieve even higher levels of fitness.

A Guide for Fat Cyclists

Our Most Popular Cycling Training Plans. Extra weight should NOT stop you from getting on a bike to have fun and get fitter!
Extra weight should NOT stop you from getting on a bike to have fun and get fitter! Click here for our guide for fat cyclists

This one is an ideal cycling training plan if:

  • You carry extra weight, and want to get fitter with cycling (which is an excellent low-impact exercise that will put less strain on your knees than walking or running).

Many people (myself included) spend most of their lives being fat, and this may be healthier than a weight that yo-yos up and down – especially if we get regular exercise, such as cycling. Nonetheless, many fat cyclists experience discrimination, and that is just plain wrong. Everyone has the right to ride a bike; and fat cyclists should not feel pressured to lose weight, or be made to feel that we don’t belong on the bike path. That said, there are some extra challenges for us plus-sized cyclists, such as finding an appropriate bike and clothing. This post is about how to deal with those challenges, so you can enjoy cycling, regardless of what your scale has to say.

In case you need some extra inspiration to get started with your fitness training goals, read this post! Many people think that the main health benefit of exercise such as cycling is weight loss. Sure, exercise helps with weight loss, obviously – but weight loss is not the main reason why you should exercise. The main health benefit of exercise is that exercise will dramatically improve your health throughout your life. In fact, exercise has so many health benefits that the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AMRC) declared recently that exercise is a “miracle cure.” Read this post to see some of the amazing health benefits that cycling could bring to your life. The post includes an inspirational video about Phil, who started off being morbidly obese, and literally saved his own life with cycling.
