Mixed Ability Favourites Picked By You

We have all heard recently on the news how beneficial strength training is for your general health and wellbeing. It is also a key part of training as a cyclist. It can feel difficult to fit it all in and you may find that strength training seems to hinder your time on the bike. You can do both you just need to plan your week better. The rules are simple. 1. Protect your hard training sessions, like intervals with a rest or active recovery day before. 2. Fuel for the amount of training you are doing. 3. On double days, ride first. And if your schedule isn’t perfect, that’s fine. Consistently doing both in an imperfect order beats skipping strength training every single time. Swipe through for two sample weeks.

Resistance bands don’t always get the credit they deserve. Often seen as a warm-up tool, they’re actually one of the most versatile and effective pieces of equipment you can use. Whether you're a cyclist, runner, Pilates enthusiast, or simply want to move better and feel stronger, resistance bands can make a huge difference. 💪 They help strengthen stabilising muscles, improve joint control, and build strength that transfers into everyday movement and sport. One of their biggest advantages is how they bridge the gap between mobility and strength. Rather than just stretching passively, bands help you: ✔️ Strengthen end ranges ✔️ Improve active flexibility ✔️ Build control where you're naturally weakest They’re also incredibly versatile. With just a couple of bands, you can: • Activate muscles before a ride or run • Build full-body strength workouts at home • Add challenge to Pilates exercises • Progress or regress movements to suit your ability Because bands require control and stability, they also improve mind-muscle connection. You can’t rely on momentum—you have to feel the movement. This makes them particularly effective for glute activation, core engagement, posture, and movement quality. Best of all, resistance bands meet you where you are. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, they can be adapted to your needs and grow with you over time. Simple? Yes. Effective? Absolutely. Come and join my online or in-person Pilates classes and learn how to get the most from your resistance bands. 📍 [www.movewilder.co.uk](http://www.movewilder.co.uk) #ResistanceBands #Pilates #MoveWilder #StrengthTraining #FunctionalFitness #MobilityTraining #CoreStrength #GluteActivation #ActiveFlexibility #MindMuscleConnection #PilatesAtHome #HomeWorkout #CyclistTraining #RunnerStrength #InjuryPrevention #HealthyMovement #MoveBetterFeelBetter #StrengthAndMobility
