Cycling Stretches - A Quick Stretching Routine for Cyclists

Ok so there's nothing like a bit of fun with home videos. My very shy friend put this little 3 minute post cycle stretch video together.

Full Body 15 minute version.. A few annoying noisy floor boards and the green screen got creased in places which reduced the quality.

But I'm starting to do this after every ride. Particularly the two with the chair.

She's such a sport, a really shy girl, doing this to get better at presenting.

How long for each stretch or rep would she suggest? and would you do these post or pre exercise or maybe neither ? perhaps do them after a shower/bath ?

I really struggle with stretching, in fact hardly ever and its something I need to address.

A really nice put together video, sort out the background noise and they d be perfect

Thanks, Background needed ironing (its a green screen) and it doesn't work well with Curly hair. The noise was the mrs stomping around upstairs. I wonder if it had anything to do with the cute girl in the dinnig room.

The stretches are pretty much as they are, just hold for a few seconds for each one. That 15 minute one is perfect for when you popped the bike away and had a shower. The 3 min one should be done as soon as you stop riding. Sooo many cyclists don't stretch properly (me included) until I go some professional help. I get absolutely no pain from riding and I ride a variety of different shaped bikes.

It would take 15 minutes allowing for that fact that we made some cuts between setting each stretch up. Once you get in to it its actually quite pleasant, particularly some of the twisting back ones, you kindof feel everything release in your body as it falls back in to place. You shouldn't do them cold, there are a few warm up routines you could do first if needed.
