the ‘START EASY’ TRAINING PLAN on ROUVY

In this beginner cycling training plan on ROUVY, you’ll learn the basics of becoming a better cyclist. Start Easy is an entry-level plan that guides you through easy-to-follow sessions that include short sprints, high intensity rides or cadence drills.

WEEK #1

Get started with an easy ride to help your body adapt to being on a bike again. Then it's time for a quick test of your FTP.

WEEK #2

Week 2 starts with some short sprints, followed by a workout for structured intervals. Finish up with an easy group ride.

WEEK #3

Let’s do some fat-burning intervals to boost endurance and pace, followed by an easy group ride to prep for the final week.

WEEK #4

Last up: Cadence drills for efficiency, and then intense sprints to really build your fitness. Finish with a final group ride.

AFTER THE TRAINING PLAN: WHAT’S NEXT?

After completing this training plan, it's crucial to give your body the rest it needs. Enjoy a week of easy riding – either outdoors or on the ROUVY indoor cycling app – in zones 1 and 2, maintaining a steady cadence of 90 RPM. Remember, rest is just as important as training. Ignoring rest and recovery can lead to overtraining, so prioritize it.
