Accelerate Recovery
Stretching reduces muscle soreness and stiffness by increasing blood flow, delivering more nutrients to your muscles and removing lactic acid and metabolites. Stretching also promotes whole body relaxation; boosting recovery, rejuvenation and adaptation by increasing the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system after exercise.
Ride Pain Free
Everything in the body is connected, and as cyclists we demand a lot from our muscles, joints and ligaments. Stretching not only combats adaptive muscle shortening, but also keeps connections strong, treating and preventing injury, improving functionality and longevity – keeping you riding for years to come.
Boost Speed, Strength and Endurance
Increased flexibility allows you to generate more power and promote efficiency of muscles through the increased speed at which proteins are synthesized in muscle fibres and improved position and posture.
Why do cyclists need to stretch?
Stretching is the best way to ensure your muscles stay flexible, strong and healthy. As cyclists, we need to maintain a healthy range of motion in the joints.
Cycling is one of the few activities in which muscles contract concentrically (while shortening), rather than eccentrically (while lengthening).
PREVENT INJURY
Everything in the body is connected, and as cyclists we demand a lot from on our muscles, joints and ligaments. Stretching keeps the connections strong, treating and preventing injury, improving functionality and longevity – keeping you riding for years to come.
ACCELERATE RECOVERY
Stretching reduces muscle soreness and stiffness by increasing blood flow, delivering more nutrients to your muscles and removing lactic acid and metabolites. Stretching also promotes whole body relaxation; boosting recovery, rejuvenation and adaptation by increasing the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system after exercise.
IMPROVE POSTURE
Stretching the right muscles can help correct poor posture both on and off the bike. By lengthening tight muscles that pull areas of the body away from their natural position you can maintain proper posture without the desire to round the back or slouch.
LONGEVITY
Over time and with age, the body starts dehydrating and stiffening. On a cellular level, muscle fibres start developing cross-links with parallel fibers making them stick together. Stretching slows this process by stimulating the production of tissue lubricants and pulling the interwoven cellular cross links back into an ordered state.
INCREASE RANGE OF MOTION
Your range of motion is the distance parts of your body can move and rotate before causing damage to muscles and tendons. Everyone naturally has a different range of motion, but stretching can help define what that looks like for you. As cyclists, we have to have the freedom and flexibility to move without resistance or pain.
INCREASE MUSCLE POWER
Power is positively affected by the length of the muscle, as power comes from the contraction of the muscle. Increasing muscle length through regular stretching increases the potential power produced by this contraction.
WHO WE ARE
We are a team of cycling enthusiasts that are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our members. Our goal is to provide you the tools needed to implement change and experience real and powerful results.
Dynamic Cyclist is laid out in a day-by-day format, with each day having its own 15-20 minute video routine. These videos are designed to be easy to follow, holding each stretch for an average of 1 minute. A whole 60 seconds may feel like an eternity in the beginning, but it is within this time period where change in flexibility and range of motion begins to occur.
HOW WE CAN HELP
We get it, life is busy. Stretching is one of those things that’s easy to put off, so long as we can keep up on group rides or stay in the saddle for hours at a time. Don’t wait until an injury forces you off your bike and into a stretching routine. In the long run, prevention is always worth the 15 minutes a day it takes!
