Graeme Street’s unique and time-saving core development strategy, which is especially designed for athletes who crave improvement, is called “Cyclo-CORE”and the entire program is based on the following 5 primary principles of cycling and triathlon training:
1. Cycling Specific Training Principles. A core program must be carefully and meticulously designed using the MOST cycling specific strength producing, muscle lengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, leg empowering exercises, so you will NOT waste any time while training.
2. Time-Effective Training Segments. You must have a library of specific exercise objectives you can choose from based on the time of year, your goals, your weaknesses, and your needs. From hard hitting core strengthening circuits that are sure to challenge your abilities to quick and effective flexibility routines and low back conditioning circuits that you can utilize post-ride – everything must be quick, simple and fast!
3. Training When You Can’t Ride.Let’s face it, life sometimes gets in the way and we can’t always get out on our bikes to train for hours on end. So, we need viable solutions we can utilize that will keep us fit, improve on our weaknesses and maximize our time off the bike. You must be able to do your core workouts just about anywhere. You living room. You basement, at the gym, in a hotel room traveling. Nothing is worse than losing fitness. Graeme’s programs are designed to halt just that!
4. Weak Point Training.Graeme builds his programs to attack the lagging areas for many cyclists including core strength, balance, flexibility, and total body strength and power. Tough workouts for sure – called the “Cyclo-CORE” component. Then,he added more flexibility work, more low back specificity training, more muscular endurance, more mental toughness. Thus, “Cyclo-ZEN” was born and with it the use of more yoga work and more recovery oriented exercise.
5. Balanced and Well Rounded Training.A balanced training approach is the ONLY way to improve your fitness. By combing the powerful workouts of “Cyclo-CORE” along with the breath, flexibility, endurance, and toughness training of “Cyclo-ZEN”you have a perfect balance and blend of workouts to choose from. Pre-Ride workouts. Post-Ride recovery sessions. Active off-day yoga routines. Plus, exclusive interviews with leading professionals and doctors in sports med, naturopathic med, cycling, and nutrition. You find this info ANYWHERE!
