YogaFit for CyclistsBicycling and indoor, stationary cycling are among the best forms of cardiovascular conditioning but they often leave the participant with tightness, aches and even pain. Repetitive cycling forces the body into forward spinal flexion, similar to sitting at a desk or driving a car for long periods of time. Due to the activity involved, a tightening of muscle groups within the hips, shoulder girdles and lower extremities can occur.
