If you do Spin classes regularly and your shoulders always feel tight, this is for you.
It’s not because you’re “doing it wrong.”
It’s because Spinning keeps you in a forward-leaning position for long periods.
Over time, your chest and upper traps take over, while the muscles that stabilise your shoulders and upper back stop doing their job. That imbalance is why the tightness keeps coming back.
The solution isn’t just stretching between classes.
It’s smarter recovery:
* targeted activation
* focused mobility
* breathing that helps your body switch out of tension mode
Why this works👇🏻
1️⃣ Wakes up underused upper-back muscles to support better posture on the bike
2️⃣ Releases tight pecs and upper traps that indoor cycling tends to overload
3️⃣ Uses controlled movement and breathing to reset how your shoulders feel
Ride hard. Recover smart.
Your shoulders should feel strong - not stiff - after class.
