For any cyclist, improving efficiency is key. The more power you can produce with less effort, the faster you can travel for longer. Pilates can help improve your efficiency and enjoyment of the sport by: targeting the core muscles that help stabilise you on the bike, keeping especially your spine and upper body in the correct position as your legs turn the pedals; improving flexibility, stretching certain muscle groups whilst strengthening others thus addressing the most common complaints suffered by cyclists: tight hip flexors, hamstrings, quadriceps and shins; weak gluteals; especially hypermobile ankles; especially rounded shoulders, forearm overuse and upper limb nerve irritation; tight pectorals, necks and upper backs as a result of being hunched over the handlebars; lower back pain from being flexed forward with the back and pelvis held rigid.
Victoria Pendleton: “I ve been doing Pilates for more than a year and for me, it s been a real breakthrough in managing back pain and building my postural muscles. I have lots of lumbar especially spine issues from spending my life hunched over a bike.”
Bradley Wiggins: “I focus on strengthening my core for 30 minutes each day, mixing up Pilates and yoga moves and using exercise balls. Without a solid core you can t transfer power efficiently, and you ll be left with dust in your eyes, however strong your legs are.”
