If you have toe clips loosen them off and do a few miles without pressing down on the pedals. Purely using the up stroke. This will identify stomach and thigh muscles that have rarely been used. You may only manage a few yards at first.
I used to estimate about 1/3 of my power came from the up stroke.
From this you can learn to pedal.
