Repetitive pedal strokes combined with lack of hip extension while on the bike cause most cyclists to suffer from tight quads, hamstrings, and hip flexors. When ignored the muscles within these groups can become chronically shortened and cause pain and eventually injury in the knees, hips and low back as well as effect other areas of the body that get compromised as a result of these shortened muscles inability to function optimally. Shortened lower body muscles can also lead to reduced performance as the muscles are not able to produce the power necessary for an efficient pedal stroke.
The solution is a consistently practiced stretching and mobility program, such as the one we offer at Dynamic Cyclist. This routine is just one of many from our daily program designed specifically for cyclists to target the common issues they experience. The exercises today will focus on opening up and mobilizing the hips as well as stretching out the quads and hamstrings with both dynamic and static stretches.
