RL52 CYCLING'S PRE-SEASON CONDITIONING PROGRAM

CYCLING FOR TEAM SPORT ATHLETES

All team sports athletes need to develop aerobic and anaerobic fitness to perform.  Depending on the sport and the position, the balance between aerobic training and anaerobic training will vary.  However, all athletes, from beginners to professionals hope to balance their training just right so that they can be optimally conditioned for sports specific performance.  Team sport athletes’ bodies undergo a tremendous amount of stress and impact just given the nature of most sports. The continuous pounding of running, sprinting, speed and agility workouts are necessary to condition the muscles to move optimally for sports specific performance. But the body does pay the price from all that pounding.  What if you could incorporate an intense workout without all that pounding into your training plan? NFL Pro-linebacker Ray Lewis has done just that by incorporating intense cycling workouts into his training regimen and claims to be in the best shape of his life.  Cycling’s benefits can make you stronger and keep you in the game longer.  Check out how you can take your game to the next level by cross training on the bike.

PRE-SEASON  & POST SEASON BASEBALL TRAINING PROGRAM 

Ray Lewis and RL52 Cycling coaches, developed a revolutionary cross-training program using the age-old tool - the bike.
Cross-training for athletes is not a new concept. However, few team sports athletes have any real exposure to the overall conditioning benefits that can be achieved through intense and focused cycling workouts. The workouts offered in RL52 Cycling’s Pre and Post Season Baseball Program are in no way intended to replace sports-specific training. Rather, they are designed to enhance an athlete’s ability to reach the next level. Cycling’s conditioning benefits, will without question, make athletes energy systems stronger and keep them in the game longer. A fitter athlete is a better athlete, no matter what the sport.  

This program that is in no way intended to replace a complete conditioning program and comes with a free phone consultation to discuss implemetnation.  Athletes, Program Directors, Trainers, Conditioning Coaches, or their staff who would like to have a  monthly plan along with this program or have a program designed specifically for them or their team should contact Kristy Scheffenacker, Director of Program Development at 443-857-5781.
