Bottom line, you can spend $1000s on a bike and all the right gear, but if your muscles are imbalanced, you will never reach your full potential on the bike. In fact, you are at risk of injury, if not riding with pain already. Targeted dynamic movement, strengthening and stretching have been proven to eliminate knee and back pain, accelerate recovery, restore a healthy range of motion and increase power.Â
Basically, if you don’t use it—you lose it.
That’s because your muscles adapt to whatever you use them for.
Let’s take your job as an example:
If you sit all day at a desk, that's a position that actually engages your hip muscles. However, you’re not using their FULL range of motion. After 8 hours a day of this position, your muscles get used to being engaged only part way and that limited range of motion becomes your norm.
Scientifically, what has happened is that your muscles have shortened to the length at which they are being habitually used.
When cycling, your muscles also don’t use their full range of motion. Pedaling loads the same muscle groups repetitively to a shorter range of motion which causes your muscle fibers to shorten to where they are being used.
If you’re suffering from:
â Tight hamstrings
â Tight hip flexors
â Sore quads
â Knee pain
â Back pain
It’s called the psoas (pronounced so-as). It’s the muscle that connects the lower body to the upper body and it’s used in almost every single movement you make. From putting on your bike shorts to walking outside to pedaling down the road.
The psoas creates a neutral pelvic alignment which stabilizes the hips while supporting your lower back and core. But when the psoas is the victim of Muscle Adaptive Shortening, there are serious consequences in almost every part of your body, showing up as a pelvic tilt.
When the front of the pelvis rotates forward, the back of the pelvis rises, leading to a change in your posture.
You’ll see and feel an increased curvature on the lower spine and upper back…
Leading to rounded shoulders, a protruding stomach, and weakened glutes and core muscles that affects your performance on the bike.
Lengthening the muscles, especially the psoas, needs to be done in the right order, with balance and intention. Concentrating on one muscle before the other can actually add to the problem, rather than improving it.
This is why so many people give up when they don't experience results within the first few days. The reality is, lengthening the muscles takes time, but our plan will have you feeling the difference within a couple weeks.
While many of the stretches may be ones you already know, doing the movements in the right order and holding them for the right amount of time will make all the difference. Our goal is to help you unravel all the tissues including the muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and finally the joint itself.
You’re probably not a physiotherapist. Or an athletic therapist. Or a personal trainer.
But we are.
We are also cyclists.
Like you, we struggled to make stretching a daily priority. We knew if we did that we would:
â Be able to bend further and get lower on the bike
â Have increased aerodynamics for a faster, more efficient ride
â Stop eating the dust of other cyclists
â Get back our sense of pride from riding longer, farther, and harder
â Become fitter and reduce the risk of injury
â Enjoy the ride again
So we decided to pool all our expertise and create a program that would help keep us accountable and on track.
The key to fixing muscle imbalances is something we call âThe Sequential Methodâ which is the order in which each exercise is done.
To lengthen your muscles properly, you need to stretch them in the right order. Concentrating on one muscle before the other can actually make those muscle imbalances worse, rather than better.
Even though you might know many of the stretches in our program, with our guided instructions, created by certified professionals, you never have to worry that:
Our unique sequential method targets the muscles prone to adaptive shortening for cyclists, especially the psoas, with daily routines to correctly and safely lengthen your muscles.
And itâs all accessible to you 24/7 with easy-to-follow, no-nonsense routines that track your progress over time.
Itâs as easy as:
Develops and maintains a healthy range of motion through a combination of static stretches and dynamic movements.Â

"I had very tight quads and what was probably a lot of muscle imbalances in my legs and back caused by too much riding and not a lot of anything else. I've been using the programming pretty much daily and looking back, I've made a massive improvement in my level of flexibility. I recover faster, feel fitter, can last longer and as a result my mood is much better.” - Brad.

Before:
â Back tightened up too quickly
for long rides

than recovering
EASY TO STAY ON TRACK
“The best part is not having to worry whether I'm even doing the right thing! All I have to do is show up once a day and follow along, with the confidence that the stretching routine is designed by people who know what they're talking about, leaving me to focus my mental energy elsewhere! But what I really love is how easy it is to do - crank up the iPad, roll out the mat, do what you are told for 20 minutes - job done.” - Anders.

CONVENIENT
“If I have to think about this stuff, it won't happen. And if I have too many choices as to what to do, I will spend more time trying to decide than exercising. Instead, I can get up, launch the site, resume my course and follow along. The routines are engaging, the right length and not overly technical. They have been key to enabling me to incorporate stretching into my daily routine - and that is what has enabled me to keep on top of my performance.” - Mark
