About this routine

Built on high volume aerobic work and meticulous recovery, Demi Vollering's training routine balances extreme physical output with intentional daily habits. Vollering focuses heavily on core stability and glute engagement prior to mounting the bike, ensuring proper biomechanics during demanding climbs.

During long training blocks, intra-ride fueling is handled with precision. High carbohydrate intake prevents energy slumps, while post-ride habits focus on lowering heart rate and initiating muscular repair immediately after dismounting.

By organizing activation drills, sustained riding, and recovery into a visual schedule, cyclists can improve their aerobic capacity while keeping fatigue in check.

Why this routine works

Prevents lower back fatigue through glute and core priming
Maintains glycogen stores during long aerobic training sessions
Accelerates muscular recovery using contrast therapy and compression
