Unless you ride flat time trials, almost every cyclist at some point needs to ride out of the saddle, yet there's very little information or guidance out there on the most effective way to do so. This course teaches you everything you need to be better at standing on the bike, from hand placement to posture, how to move your elbows, torso and pelvis and using your weight distribution rather than just brute force. By the end you'll be able to understand and execute perfect standing technique.

Skills Academy courses are primarily video based lessons which explain techniques and skills which are then practised in exercises and workouts provided within the course. Once signed up you'll be able to access the course using an Apple or Android device or through the online platform. Skills Academy courses also come with a free month of our Foundations Training Plan so you can further develop your potential as a rider using structured training.

We are confident that our courses will give even the most experienced cyclists valuable techniques and skills that they may not have been using, or didn't know how to effectively apply. Cycling, like many sports is constantly evolving and there's always something to learn that can make you a better athlete. We've cut through all the noise and picked out some of the best areas to focus on to maximise your potential on the bike.

The course has a 11 modules of video lessons and tests plus a training plan to practically apply the techniques you lear. As well as this the Standing Course includes our Hip Mobility Program ($49 value), a four week plan of exercises to improve your hip movement. All Skills Academy courses also come with a free month of access to our Foundations Training Plan ($35 value) which is a year round structured training plan using the TrainingPeaks platform.
