Cycling Anatomy

Whether you’re grinding up steep climbs or navigating sketchy, slippery descents, Cycling Anatomy (Second Edition) gives you the strength, stability and resilience to handle whatever the ride throws at you. This fully updated guide features 89 targeted strength‑and‑conditioning exercises used by elite cyclists — each designed to build power, speed, endurance and all‑round performance.

Every exercise includes clear step‑by‑step instructions and full‑colour anatomical illustrations showing exactly which muscles you’re working. You’ll also find plenty of variations using different bits of kit, helping you tailor your training, address weak spots and reduce the risk of common cycling injuries.

Each movement is paired with a Cycling Focus section that links the exercise directly to real riding — climbing, sprinting, cornering, descending — so you can see how your gym work translates into more control and more power at the pedals. With solid training principles and practical guidance throughout, you can build a personalised programme that fits your goals, whether that’s conquering your local killer climb or smashing a century ride.

If you want to ride stronger, stay injury‑free and get more out of every mile, Cycling Anatomy gives you the tools to make it happen.
