STRETCHING ROUTINE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS!

[@MTBMOR]

Trying to figure out how to help myself: 3:40 Hip flexor 5:05 Pigeon 6:50 Hamstring 10:15 Spine Mobility 12:05 Foam Roller Calf 14:30 Foam Roller Adductor 15:25 Quad 15:40 Orb (Glute/Hip?) It's funny you mention the IT band. I've had multiple PTs tell me to roll and stretch the IT band...

Thanks for the links. It’s like listening to a podcast at double speed.

[@mtbcrasher2703]

Love the links, thank you

[@scmtb8658]

I think you do whatever helps you. The more you know the more options you have.

[@MTBMOR]

@@scmtb8658 I agree...good point

[@andrewrivera4029]

I do yoga twice a week and it’s become indispensable as injury and pain prevention.

[@livefreeandshred9818]

I'll be doing this for sure. I keep saying I need to stretch and have no idea what would be beneficial and what wont. This is perfect. I know I will have an issue rolling my left calf from previous moto injuries.

[@garyriggs6998]

Love this content. You two are definitely more awesome!

[@sydandmacky]

Thanks Gary!

[@grantfeddema5332]

Started this morning with this routine and some wake up yoga. Feels great, hoping to get some decent results! Thanks for posting this.

[@RusticRussellAdventures]

Thanks you two. Great video. We all need to be reminded to stretch. Sooo many of us don't :(

[@MrThegixerman]

I do a few of them stretches my self as I slipped l5s1 last year causes a lot of foot problems...good shout that one great video

[@fjpadilla1920]

Amazing videos! Love these informative videos that concentrate on MTB'ers. Still waiting on Mackey demonstrating how to pivot on hips to not ride on a constant squat.

[@jtsimaras]

Great video .... I need to stretch more not sure about others but I find riding indoors on a trainer the worse for getting stiff....I think its lack of moving around on bike etc. Thanks 👍

[@grantfeddema5332]

Important info, thanks! Now just have to do it...

[@samperi01]

you guys are on fire with this content!

[@jeremyhowell2332]

Definitely want to avoid static stretching before an athletic event if you care about force production for the first 10-15 minutes. It inhibits actin-myosin interactions. PNF stretches and foam rolling are better because they work with the Golgi tendon organ, other proprioceptors, etc.

[@katep4485]

I wish macky would have done some stretches too... it helps to see other tight people struggling. My marathon running yoga teacher had us do the first modification in this article for pidgeon pose. It helps a lot if your hips are really tight.

[@sydandmacky]

It certainly would have made the video more entertaining, but possible less instructive 😂

[@MrKneeDropper]

Thank you!

[@Leo_Inclan]

Yeah, I never stretch... I should definitely start doing it.

[@shanewilkinson9479]

So, I shouldn't wait until the off-season to stretch? ;-)

[@melissacatsmith]

Pigeon stretches out the piriformis, which gets a lot of action when people cycle and/or run. Stretch your piriformis!

[@sydandmacky]

That's an awesome name!

[@mrsmith326]

Hahahaha...”lower butt part”🤣

[@pesomasagravedad]

Hahaha "I think your hips are great"

[@sydandmacky]

I'm glad someone caught that 😂

[@richardkaz2336]

Is that every 3 or 4 days at a stretch.

[@sydandmacky]

😁

Looks like you are in Shire

[@sydandmacky]

Haha! Nope, New Mexico!

SYD and MACKY Looked like Shire... Tiny tiny sunbed in the tiny tiny garden, tiny tiny watering pot near the tiny tiny ladder standing by the tiny tiny house... And two (not so) tiny tiny, but very happy people... Just like in Shire :D

[@sydandmacky]

😁😁

[@Ale_SanTaNa05]

[@tmwall25]

[@daneelkins7047]

[@sapinva]

Lilly laughs at how absurdly inflexible humans are.

[@sydandmacky]

[@Gamebit450]
