Body positioning on the bike can speak a lot about your current fitness level.  Injuries caused during cycling can occur in one or two ways; either because of the fit of the bike itself or how the cyclist fits on the bike. If the bike doesn’t fit the rider, injuries such as neck strain and back pain can occur. Injuries such as strains or leg pain occur mainly because of over-use, over-training or not warming up or down sufficiently.
 

Most of us forget about proper posture and alignment during our daily lives. We slouch, hunch our shoulders and reach our heads forward while driving our cars. We carry many of these same bad body mechanics over into our workouts, ending up with back pain. Look around your next workout class and you will see these body patterns begin to appear, especially as the participant begins to fatigue. In Pilates all movements are generated by the powerhouse (located in the centre of the body).

There is completely no doubt that Pilate increases core strength and stability can lead to improved performance on the bike. Call 01744 751115 to begin improving your cycling skills...
