During my mentorship at Mike Boyle’s facility he said that “you can get a lot out of a little if your consistent with it”. This really struck home, especially when it comes to mobility work. This routine takes less than 10 minutes to complete and hits the most important areas for mountain bikers. If you do this little bit on a consistent basis you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll get from it.
Here is the list of exercises and a video demo of the routine.
I wanted to let you guys know about my newest article for VitalMTB.com covering some good pre-ride warm up techniques. You can link to it by clicking here. Enjoy!
I recently picked up a Tiger Tail for the facility and liked it so much it never made it there. I had to order 3 more for my clients and I wanted to share it with you guys. It is a great way to get a bit more targeted with your soft tissue work than a foam roller and much more portable and easier to use when traveling.
Foam rolling is important for mountain bikers- if you don’t know that yet you must be new to this site. Not a day goes by I don’t roll around on my foam roller and the improved mobility and decreased muscle soreness I get from using it are something every rider should experience.
Last Friday I had a client in from Moab and I went over the newest recommendations I have for using the foam roller. I videoed it and here it is for you to see as well. Even if you have seen my foam roller demos before there are a few new tips and tricks here I just picked up in the last few months.
Sometimes you just don’t have a lot of time to get a good warm up in. Well, with this time crunched warm up drill that is no longer an excuse. Getting warmed up and mobile before strength training is very important and increasing mobility is a must for mountain bikers so this drill should come in handy.
Here is a new warm up drill I’ve been using in my facility. This is a great way to warm up for a workout or for a mountain bike ride. You can click on the link below the video payer to go to the source page at www.vimeo.com where you can download the IPod compatible video.
