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, when one muscle gets too tightâit shuts down its opposite.
Thatâs because your body is wired with a protective reflex called reciprocal inhibition. Whenever a muscle contracts, the muscle on the opposite side of the joint is told to relax so the movement can happen smoothly.
But hereâs the problem: if one muscle stays tight all the time, the opposing muscle can no longer switch on properly. Over time, it gets weaker and weaker.
Letâs take sitting as an example:
When you sit for long hours, your hip flexors stay in a shortened position. That constant tension tells the opposing musclesâthe glutesâto switch off. Eventually, your glutes âforgetâ how to fully fire.
The same thing happens in repetitive activities like cycling, running, or even walking upstairs. When one side dominates, the other side shuts down.
If youâre suffering from:
â Weak or âsleepyâ glutes
â Overworked quads
â Hamstring tightness
â Hip or knee pain
â Low back strain
And at the center of it? Your glutes.
Theyâre supposed to be the powerhouse of your movementâstabilizing your hips, supporting your spine, and driving strength in your legs.
But when the glutes are victims of Reciprocal Inhibition Dysfunction, they stop pulling their weight. Other muscles are forced to compensate, and that imbalance creates a cascade of pain, tightness, and lost performance everywhere else in the body.
Most people develop Reciprocal Inhibition Dysfunction when one muscle becomes chronically tightâforcing its opposite muscle to âswitch off.â
When the dominant muscle stays active, the opposing one canât fully fire, leading to weakness, poor posture, and imbalances throughout your body.
Youâll see and feel it in real life as:
 All of this adds up to poor alignment, less stability, and muscles that arenât working together the way they should.
Reactivating weak muscles while releasing overactive ones has to be done in the right sequence. If you only stretch the tight muscle or only strengthen the weak one, you can actually make the imbalance worse instead of better.
Thatâs why so many people give up when they donât feel results quickly. The truth is, restoring balance takes timeâbut with the right plan, youâll feel the difference within a couple weeks.
While many of the exercises may look familiar, the order you do them in and the timing of the holds is what unlocks real results. Our program is designed to retrain your body step by stepâreleasing the tight tissue, waking up the dormant muscles, and restoring natural movement patterns from the fascia all the way down to the joint itself.
Youâre probably not a physiotherapist. Or an athletic therapist. Or a personal trainer.
But we are.
And weâre cyclists tooâwhich means weâve battled Reciprocal Inhibition Dysfunction ourselves. We know what it feels like when your body wonât do what youâre asking of it on the bike.
We also know what happens when you fix it:
â More flexibility so you can get lower and ride in comfort
â Improved aerodynamics for faster, more efficient miles
â Stronger, more balanced muscles to power through longer rides
â Reduced risk of pain and injury holding you back
â The confidence and pride of riding harder, farther, and stronger
â The simple joy of actually enjoying your time in the saddle again
Thatâs why we built this program. We combined our expertiseâand our own need to overcome RIDâinto a plan that keeps you accountable, on track, and performing at your best.
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.

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
