When the cycling world gathers around to discuss what might be the best core exercise for cyclists, there tends to be an all too predictable bee-line for the plank. Most sports, most gyms and most parts of the world have this same problem. Trainers, physios and even your family doctor might suggest this exercise from time to time. But what is it actually doing for us?
Cycling is not a stationary movement (even if you’re on a stationary bike!), yet we train this stand-still exercise to death hoping for some sort of miraculous return on investment. They’re a great beginner exercise, but once a certain level of proficiency is achieved (two-minute hold), it’s time to put the focus onto something more functional.
A core workout for cyclists should be dynamic, multi-faceted and tailored to each individual's strengths, weaknesses and other physical activities.
These exercises are from one of our Dynamic Cyclist strength training routines. Week one, day two of our 3-month intermediate strength training program focuses on Core & Stability. You’ll be able to watch our certified personal trainer and coach of Dynamic Cyclist, Alisha demonstrate each exercise.
By adding cycling core exercises into your program, you’ll be proactive in the prevention of injury and contribute to better overall performance on the bike. Our comprehensive Dynamic Cycling core strength training routines have helped countless people ride pain and injury free.
