Furthermore, it is also very important to the geeky cyclist to have a bicycle that suits your height. For this, it is advisable to have the body pre-measured with a bicycle repair shop or a bike fitter. Execute a warm-up and trying to cool off A good warm-up is vital for long training sessions, winter or fatigue. You high temperature your muscles that way, making your workouts better and less inclined to injure you. During a warm-up you first cycle quietly. After 10 minutes you can raise the pace and put in short accelerations of a minute. How lengthy you temperature up depends on the situation. A quiet cycling training requires much less warming than an intensive training, then you can quickly count a quarter of an hour. The current weather conditions also play a role: cold weather implies that your muscles need more time to end up being well blooded. Cooling down after training is also important. The body temperature drops, allowing you to dispose of the waste materials better. If you perform the cooling-down often and properly, you will recover quicker from your efforts. After training you routine at a relaxed pace with occasional acceleration, you cycle on a moderate pace. Following the cool-down of about 10 minutes it is advisable to do some stretching exercises. Another efficient type of cooling-down is a sports massage. This could be done, for example, after an intensive competition. Select a comfortable saddle A too soft saddle can result in a wrong sitting posture, especially during long journeys. That's why you better select a harder and smaller sized saddle that provides some counter pressure. If you still experience saddle discomfort, you can decrease your saddle just a little. A too much saddle is not pleasurable if you constantly slide from left to right. Wear the proper cycling clothing Maybe an open door, but wearing special cycling clothing is really indispensable if you would like to cycle intensively. Cycling shorts prevents friction. Therefore, never put on a cotton underpants because the fabric does not breath sufficiently. When cotton gets wet, your skin layer cools down and causes pores and skin problems such as irritation and redness. Also wear cycling gloves to protect your hands. Wash your cycling clothing only with detergent no fabric softener. The latter can destroy the pores, to ensure that ultimately your cycling clothing loses its quality. Consult specialist Do you experience discomfort in your feet during or after cycling? Customized insoles could be a solution. Do additionally you suffer from knee complaints? Then it may just be that your feet position differs and the insoles offer insufficient solution for you. Therefore see a doctor to determine your exact problem. Pay attention to your body Do it more slowly if you feel that your condition is bad or in case you are fighting physical symptoms. Your trouble will not get worse by not training for weekly. Or replace intensive interval training in a calm endurance training. Pay attention to the body and the signals it gives. http://forums.stickpage.com/member.php?336472-lagangabow0201
