Not all exercises are suitable for everyone - there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. As with any strenuous exercise, you should take into account factors such as your flexibility, strength and overall health to determine if an exercise is appropriate for you, and consult a doctor/physician before beginning a programme of exercise. Discontinue your exercise session immediately if you experience any pain, dizziness or discomfort.
Partaking in training sessions following GCN's video instruction is entirely at your own risk, and Global Cycling Network, its partners and its affiliated companies cannot be held responsible for any injuries which may occur as a result of these exercises.

We wouldn't recommend wearing leg and arm warmers like Esteban Chaves when you try this session!

I'm one week away from getting a new hip and my doctor told me my recovery will be much faster and with fewer complications if I'm in top physical shape. I've been using a variety of GCN training videos such as this one to get stronger before my surgery and I can't tell you how much improvement I've seen by using the videos. So, a very big thank you for posting these and providing the instruction and motivation to improve one's fitness on and off the bike. Looking forward to using the videos after my surgery to get back in the saddle and on the road as soon as I can. Great work and thank you again GCN!

Legs burn, glutes burns on the low cadence, sweat drips... But a smile.on my face afterwards. Great video guys.

Matt for President! The best thrill instructor on the planet! TY!

[shelly]

I am new to indoor cycling and you guys made me push it. I love your videos please make lots for us newbies! You guys are amazing!!!! Thank you

[tomhiscox]

Have to say that session is the most brutal yet.

[gazzarroy]

Love these big sessions. My fitness skyrockets. For sure. I do these sessions for rugby tag. And I have more endurance than the youngsters I play against. And I'm 45. Out playing youth.

Fun session. Bring back Estaban. He's great 👍🏾🚲👍🏾🔥

[grigorbrowning]

Brilliant! Watch it once to get the laughs out of the way, then again for actual training. Hopefully there are a few more videos with Mitchelton-Scott in the works.

[monfelmateo]

Thank you! very good instructor indeed. Hello from the Philippines. Stay safe guys

[nickcoulter]

Another homerun Matt. I usually prefer the hill climb cam videos most, but this was a fun group.

[amyflowers]

Fantastic workout. Those 8 to 9 effort level blocks were effective to say the least!!

[tobyellis]

This was awesome. Really enjoyed the banter. Loved getting some athlete stories "this is when we go back to the bus..." Really loved the interaction, particularly they way he kept asking what was next...loved it!

[nickshepherd]

Brilliant training video once again and what a great bunch of riders enjoying themselves!!!!👍🏼🚴

Dear GCN, can you also show heart rates (even only one would be enough) if it's appropriate? I'd like to see how the heart of an experienced cyclist reacts to these trainings,
keep up the good work,
cheers from Turkey

[johnmilliken]

Still at and on tempo at 71. Thank you Mitch and Emma.

[aminmorovati]

Just a great workout I enjoy this session. Thanks a lot guys.

[PrivateNeven]

I like Chaves too much - how can you dislike the guy?! He'd probably smile through a car robbery!

[tpmay]

Two thoughts.

One: How about rating training sessions on an out of 5 star basis (or rating them like Cat climbs maybe)?

Two: Could you consider using a gradient filter for the top half of the screen underneath the overlaid graphics? Some of the climbing videos around the Dolomites have such a high contrast sky that I can't make out the time or cadence wheel at points where it shows one of you guys smashing the climb.

That said, thanks so much for doing these as they are brilliant!

Love this ride, every time. Please, more rides!
