How To Get Fitter & Faster On The Bike Using Only A Heart Rate Monitor

Sports
Published on Apr 24, 2024
Data is becoming more and more heavily used to influence training for riders at every level, and it can be useful if used properly. But what if heart rate is the only thing you can measure? Can you still get crazy fit without knowing power numbers or cadence or anything else? Join the team as they take a look!

Not all exercises are suitable for everyone - there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. As with any strenuous exercise, you should take into account factors such as your flexibility, strength and overall health to determine if an exercise is appropriate for you, and consult a doctor/physician before beginning a programme of exercise. Discontinue your exercise session immediately if you experience any pain, dizziness or discomfort.
Partaking in training sessions following GCN's video instruction is entirely at your own risk, and Global Cycling Network, its partners and its affiliated companies cannot be held responsible for any injuries which may occur as a result of these exercises.
