Essential Post-Cycling Stretches for Cyclists | CRC |

[@savysmilesumtymes]

I do this stretch every time I ride. I have it memorized now and don't need the video, but sometimes I like having it to see helen do it with me. I wish I could find more videos from Helen. She's my favorite yogi.

[@megabigblur]

Me channeling Theoden from Lord of the Rings after his horse fell on top of him: "My body is broken". Really needed this!

[@mohammadfaizanbhat9036]

Things like these reinforce my belief that internet is a superpower. Thanks for an amazing strecht, all my pain is gone

[@tophlovr]

I ride a 20 mile bike trail every other weekend with one of my friends. This stretch always leaves me refreshed after a long harsh ride. My friend doesn’t think stretching works and is always stiff as a board the next day. You save me every single week!

[@chainreactioncycles]

That is awesome!

[@amyp8845]

Agree 💯% !!

[@matyi94]

I keep coming back here after every ride. My recovery got way better and I feel a lot more mobile on the bike. Thanks Helen and CRC!

[@chainreactioncycles]

Great to hear!

[@ppjctotoro]

Great routine to counter the effects of sitting too long, not just on the bike but on the office chair and on the couch watching Netflix! Get off your bum and do this stretch, especially nice after you’re all warm and loose after a ride! Only issue is I found the pace a bit too quick, adjusted the playback speed to 0.75x and it was perfect :)

[@bronb4412]

Just adding to all the hundreds of other positive comments, feels so good, thank you!

[@BIIIKES]

My coach now has me using this as my go-to stretching routine. Love it 🤙

[@chainreactioncycles]

Great to hear!

[@edjakubiak3443]

This was the best yoga meets cycling video out there. I’ve done all the popular ones and this is the best. I’m probably a lot of the views. Thanks and do more please

[@1DLECHiLD]

Love this routine - I play on 0.75 and give myself a bit more stretchy time. TY!

[@rforrest86]

Best post ride stretch video on KZbin by far

[@narenkolary]

This sequence is pure magic. It's been the fifth weekend in a row of 100k+ rides where I hobble in convinced that I'm going to be sore for a few days, end up finishing up this sequence and wonder what all the fuss was about! Thank you so much for this :)

[@alexsyed1530]

This video always makes me want to go on longer rides!!! Love you babes i don't knkw how to thank you enough ❤❤❤❤❤

[@toastbread3003]

Was expecting a boring list of stretches, found the perfect deep and efficient post ride flow. Thanks!!

[@Gcats_YT]

Yeahhh totally awesome those moves!!! Knowwww them wellll but right after cycling...wooow geniusssssss! Thks!!!

[@moin6747]

[@adammillsindustries.]

What’s that mountain range in the background?

[@rfalasi7767]

This is my favorite post scycling stretch, I love it when i feel the difference between the first leg that got streched and the second. Thank you.

[@amandubey5287]

Hi Helen. You are a life saver. I wath both the warm up and the cool down videos daily. I just love it when you say " Reach reach reach reach reach .......reach forward" that really helps 😂. Again thank you so kuch for these awesome videos.

[@oliviermagere]

Just arrived from a solo 70km ride with hills. Quads absolutely on fire. Feels so much better after the routine. Thank you

[@pasqualified]

the perfect post ride stretch, will be doing this after every ride now. thank you.

[@lindaorlandi1127]

I do this stretch after every single bike ride. It feels so good!

This sequence is incredible! Thank you so much….I’ve just subscribed:))

[@robertopozzi9625]

I discovered late this video but luckily I did and found amazingly useful. I am a doctor going to work by bike, 30km/day, and this stretching sequence changed my life and comfort. Thank you very much

[@kymkrey5232]

This was AWESOME! I just got off the bike from 137kms and this is exactly what I needed 👌

[@octofui]

best set of yoga/stretches I've ever done, can definitely feel the difference after doing these and its awesome, thank you so much for posting this

[@deryakisacik1018]

This is the best post cycling stretching routine. I memorized the moves but still opening background to here the nice warm voice 💙

[@liquuid007]

Thanks Hellen, a great little routine I can use to focus on form and function. It is definitely challenging for me (fitish, overweight and 50+). It highlighted my flexibility deficits that are causing pain and power loss on the bike. A great baseline test to track flexibility progress on my. I know this is 4 years old but hope you are still delivering content. 😊

[@MrAwrsomeness]

That felt amazing but it showed me how inflexible I am, to much gym and not enough stretching

[@TheCaptainGreenbeard]

I use this after every ride I do and use the warm up for longer rides. Its transformed how my body reacts to cycling and has really eased my knee problems so thankyou! 😊 Really enjoyable routine too

[@OrientalExotics]

Thank you for the stretching knowledge 🙏

[@sandeepkoshy1474]

Love this. Great stretch after any cardio. No long rants or overly talking throughout. Plays ad free! Thank you 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@slycanYT]

Thanks Helen, Feels great after the stretches ❤

The 2 best cycling yoga videos are the pre and post stretches done by Helen. I have been using them for 2 years now. Has she got any other videos ? You can even close your eyes and just flow to her voice. Thank you.

[@skapoor72]

Until i saw this video, stretches was forced upon and never consistently followed . i now look forward to the relief it gives post a bike ride . thanks for sharing

[@Tlhakxza]

After 8 years of cycling and trying this stretch routine for the first time ever...all I can say is THANK YOU for exposing myself to myself, I didn’t realize just how rod stiff my body truly is,my hamstrings are a stiff knot,my hip flexors were nowhere to be found😏😏 My poor lower back almost snapped in half. THANK YOU very much for this routine,I’m gonna incorporate it in both my pre and post workout...also starting YOGA to really work on my flexibility.😉✌🏿

[@brentsimard977]

yoga and biking are so good together, I can't imagine one without the other

[@partyprint]

This has helped with knee pain so much in such a short time, massive thumbs up to this.

[@TheBakoba]

Perfect routine and nice flow. Easy to follow along after a ride without having to think.

Thank you! Best video.

[@chainreactioncycles]

Glad you liked it!

[@elaineroberts7983]

I did this routine at the end of every day on a recent LEJOG cycle and found that my flexibility improved each day and that I had no problems on the rides. Highly recommended. Thank you Helen.

[@isabeltan6397]

thanks helen, it really streched my hips oh wow~

[@wissembouajila]

Thanks Helen! This is a game changer!!

[@clairbearushin2dstar]

[@robinmuller3091]

[@bakedtarts]

Was originally feeling muscle ache on both legs after my spin class 2 days ago, but after doing this, my left leg actually does feel better. Saving your exercise to do again tomorrow! 😄

Absolutely an amazing set of stretches, my legs are forever grateful.

[@tanzilamaryam573]

My mum never finds any good stretches to do and she found this video and said save it save it i need this in lifeeee!!

Thanks Ash, Wow didn't realise how tight the hips were. Very surprised how they eventually opened up. Definitely a neglected area for myself.

Best ever stretching video I've found in youtube ...thanks!

[@chainreactioncycles]

Wow, thanks!

[@anshadlovesjessin]

Fantastic post-ride stretch! I was too impatient to sit through my usual 30 minute stretching routine and this is the perfect length.
