Cyclists are you skipping your stretches? That’s the fastest way to tight hips, sore backs, and injuries.
Dr. JT from Iron Health breaks down the 5 essential stretches you should do before and after cycling to keep your body loose, strong, and pain-free:
1️⃣ 90/90 Shin Box – unlock tight glutes
2️⃣ Active Hamstring Stretch – lengthen and activate
3️⃣ Quad + Hip Flexor Stretch – release tension in the front of your legs
4️⃣ Iron Cross – reset your lower back
5️⃣ Open Book – improve mobility in your upper back
Whether you’re training for races, cycling outdoors, or crushing a spin class, these stretches are the key to better performance and recovery.
