Cyclists Boost Endurance with High-Resistance Hill Repeats
Leon explains, “High-resistance hill repeats involve cycling up steep inclines at high resistance to build leg endurance, power, and cardiovascular strength.” This method strengthens key muscles and improves climbing ability. Cyclists should start with a warm-up, then tackle hills at 60-80 RPM, focusing on smooth pedal strokes. Consistent practice enhances endurance and mental toughness. -

U.S. guidelines suggest 7,000-8,000 steps, but more movement is beneficial. Walking is low-impact and supports joint health, though 10K may overwhelm some. Alternatives include strength training, yoga, and cycling for enjoyable, sustainable fitness.
