The essentials of cycling are covered in detail, including equipment, biking skills, training guidelines and fitness assessment. The five ride types covered of steady and flats, hills, variable intensity, intervals and speed work are plugged into three levels of programmes, consisting of five different training phases - building a base, increasing threshold, peaking, maintaining peak condition and off-season cross training. Each workout is broken down into several components including caloric expenditure, warm up and cool down, heart rate zone, perceived effort, cadence and details for getting the most out of the workout. "Fitness Cycling" provides information in clear language and gives workouts on a one-a-page basis, which are easy to read and include specific tips and useful tidbits about each workout so that the reader feels they have a personal trainer with them from start to finish.

When I received Fitness Cycling it looked like a manuscript, not a book. Very unusual, like I had received the rough copy of the intended book. Had a lot of technical information to the point that I admitted to myself that there were only certain pages of interest for me. Highly technical, they certainly know what they are saying but not "reader friendly" for individuals such as myself that are no trained professionals on the subject. Because of the packaging of the book I find it an oddity and that is good enough for me to keep and I wonder how in the world I got this type of copy. It even had a "not for sale" I think. Like I said, for the price is an acceptable purchase and some of the information was valuable. Merits 3 stars. Someday I might see the Bookstore version but I will not loose any sleep on it if I do not.
