Pilates might be the solution if you suffer from stiff and tight shoulder muscles; a stiff or sore neck and/or lower back pain caused by inadequate strength which often leads to muscle fatigue, and stress on these particular muscle groups due to riding long distances in a hunched over position.

Through Pilates we focus primarily on building strength and flexibility, especially through the core muscle groups. This is beneficial for bikers as the lower back is the first place most cyclists complain about pain and sore muscles. Through Conditioning for Cyclists you will build core muscle strength and you can learn to naturally improve your posture and strengthen and straighten your  another benefit is that Conditioning for Cyclists provides strength training for these core areas that helps support the lower back muscles, but also can correct any rounding of the shoulders resulting from a hunched over riding position.

Pilates exercises target specific muscle groups and builds them, this helps provide a strong and solid base for the lower body to push against when pedalling. By working the deep intrinsic muscles of the abdomen, you will help protect the lower back and also relieve pressure off of the superficial muscles while focusing on balance and proper alignment to optimize results.

MAIN MUSCLES TARGETED:

• Transverse Abdominis
• Rectus Abdominis
• External and Internal Oblique Muscles
• Eretor Spinae
