10 Minutes to More Power (& A Pain-Free Ride)
Four lower-body stretches that will improve flexibility, give you more power on the bike, and ease achy muscles.
Pyramid
Place a block on the ground in front of you. Bend at the waist and rest your hands on it. Step your right foot back a couple of feet, keeping your right heel lifted. Inhale and lift your chest up until your back is parallel to the ground. Next, exhale and bend down over your left leg, leading with your chest. Lower your heel to the ground. Hold for five breaths, then repeat with the other leg forward.
No blocks? Rest your hands on a low step instead.
