Try These 3 Mid ride Stretches

Whether it is a long ride on a road bike or shredding the hills on a mountain bike, your mobility can be the difference between a great ride and and one that leaves you sore for days later. Derek Teel (@dialedhealth), elite trainer and part of the PNG family, has developed a set of 3 realistic stretches to keep your muscles loose and limber so you can get the most out of your ride. Give them a try and let us know if you feel the difference.

 

LEG SWINGS: This dynamic stretch(constant movement) will hit your hamstring as your leg goes forward and hip flexor as your leg moves backward.  Keep your core engaged and leg relaxed.

 

 

TWISTING QUAD: Adding the twist to a traditional quad stretch helps you hit your TFL(muscle in outer hip) that can help relieve IT Band tightness.  Hold for 30 Seconds each side.
