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.
Everything in the body is connected, and as cyclists we demand a lot from our muscles, joints and ligaments. A combination of strengthening and 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.
A healthy range of motion allows you to generate more power, as the speed at which proteins are synthesized in muscle fibers is improved. This promotes efficiency, allowing you to ride faster, longer and with strong posture on the bike.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Starting out as a daily stretching plan for cyclists, we now have a strength programs, cycling specific injury programming, on the bike training plans, yoga and more. Although our mobility video program will always be the core feature, we want to provide our members with everything they need to feel their best both on and off the bike.
