Your legs after cycling

[Catrin]

I'm not at all a cycling specialist. My main sport is fitness. I thought that cycling would help to add size and shape to my thighs, which is a very important part in my sport. I train on the bike 3 times/week. After warming up, I do some intervals: sprinting for 40 to 60 seconds and recovering for 1 to 3 minutes. I currently do 20 sprint intervals.

Are you riding outside or inside? Indoor cycling class is how I increased my fitness for the bike - I do strength training but the purpose of it is to support my cycling. If you do ride outside what kind of bike do you have?
