Pilates for cyclists
Stretch and strengthen muscles used in cycling through Pilates
This class has been designed to help target some common problem areas for cyclists, including tightness in mid back and hip flexors and the importance of glute and quadriceps muscle strength to power your bike forwards and uphill!
Starting in standing stretching and lengthening the spine and challenging your quadriceps and glute muscle control. Then coming down onto the mat we work our deep abdominal core, pelvic floor and glute muscles further with some great Pilates exercises, including leg pull in prone and bridging exercises. We then stretch, stretch and stretch some more to combat the common muscle tightness seen in cyclists.
