  • Out of Breath Cycling Uphill!

    In this episode of the Neil Damrell Show, I share insights and advice on improving uphill cycling efficiency through effective weight management.


    I highlight the challenges cyclists face when climbing with extra body weight and stress the significance of managing calorie intake rather than solely focusing on intense training. I recommend tracking calories consumed off the bike and creating a calorie deficit for weight loss, complemented by a smart nutrition plan.


    I share successes from my cycling mentorship program, including a client, Duncan, who significantly improved his performance by losing weight and enhancing fitness under our guidance. The episode introduces my mentorship program that offers personalized nutrition plans and mindset training, aiming for sustainable health and performance benefits.


    I urge cyclists to rethink their climbing strategies, emphasizing smarter nutrition and fueling methods to make uphill rides more manageable and efficient.
