It may be that you have heard from others that a particular exercise works for them. But it may not be so beneficial to you. Your DNA fitness report will tell you how to structure your fitness programme to get the most form your cycling. Your DNA fitness report will also tell you where you’ll be prone to injury, low back, knees or ankles and what you can add to your fitness programme to significantly reduce the risk of injury. 

DNA reports avoid common injuries

Given the common sites for cyclists to be injured, low back, hips and knees, it would be great to know how to strengthen these areas to cycle well and avoid the injury in the first place. 

If your report says that you’ll respond better to power work, then adding in plyometric exercises to your fitness programme will increase your ability to go uphill. 

If your report says you’ll respond better to strength work, adding in sprinting and strength resistance trining will support you to improve your time. 

If your report says you’ll respond better to endurance work, adding in running, aerobic classes and endurance strength resistance training will improve the distance that you travel on a bike.
