Sounds like you’ve got things covered in the stretching department. Do you find that they cover a lot of the muscles used in cycling when you take a Yoga class…or are you doing yoga on your own?

Yeah, I’m finding that stretching becomes more and more important each year…..but those young guys need to keep up with it as well. Thanks for your comments, Paul.

Glad you tried it. It’s definitely a top stretch for those glutes. Very important for cyclists.

I totally agree. I stretch every morning whether I’m riding or not and I also stretch before and after each ride. Pretty important for us guys over 40!

I’ve done a couple of those stretches before but never that one where you cross your legs over. I just tried it and it feels great. I’ll be adding it to my stretching routine. Thanks for the tips.

Yes stretching is so ultimately important. I do yoga three times a week and stretch at home on most other days. I find myself getting very tight and sore if I don’t keep up with my stretching. Good choice of stretches for those cycling legs.
