Stretching tips for cyclists.
1. Stretch those quads.
Get those front thigh muscles warmed up and ready to roll.
2. Keep Your Hamstrings Happy.
Stretch out those hamstrings to prevent tightness and injury.
3. Loosen Up Your Back and Arms.
Relax your upper body with stretches that target your back and arms.
4. Don't Forget Your Calves and Glutes.
Keep these crucial muscles limber to maintain your riding comfort.
Quick Tip: Spend just 30 seconds on each stretch after your ride to ease any post-ride fatigue and boost your recovery.
Targeted muscle relief.
1. Inner and outer thighs.
Feeling tight around the hips? It might be your quads acting up. Grab a massage gun and set it to level 3. Massage each inner and outer thigh for about a minute to release tension.
2. Calf relief.
Those uphill climbs can really work your calves. Set your massage gun to level 2 and give each calf a minute-long massage to soothe soreness and prevent cramps.
These simple stretches and techniques will help you stay strong and flexible, so you can ride longer and enjoy every mile.
