A typical plan will be different for each of us and it needs to be tailored to your personal goals. However, in general it will consist of several areas, these are:

1. An adequate warm-up and cool down, if you neglect these then you greatly increase the risk of injury.
2. Select appropriate training loads and durations.  It might take you one or two sessions to find your ![EXERCISE Bike](https://blog.tracerco.com/hs-fs/file-2371327260-jpg/Gym_blog/Equipment/Bike.jpg?width=150&name=Bike.jpg "EXERCISE Bike")current limits but once you know the details you can plan your progress.
3. Adequate recovery between sets else quality and results can suffer.
4. Adequate recovery between training days.
5. Make adequate provision in your program for stretching and flexibility
