Before embarking on a Cycling journey, it's paramount to adequately prepare the body. Stretching exercises serve to limber up muscles and augment flexibility, curbing the risk of strains or injuries. Targeting key muscle groups—quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and lower back—through dynamic stretches fosters improved blood circulation and enhances muscle functionality.
A comprehensive warm-up routine, incorporating light cycling, brisk walking, or gentle jogging, progressively elevates heart rate, oxygenates muscles, and readies the body for forthcoming physical activity. This step not only sets the stage for enhanced performance but also readies the body to endure the physical demands of Cycling.
