A really lame question (pun fully intended)

[mimitabby]

I have always been really flexible, but since i started riding, stuff started tightening up. And I started having the same problem with getting on and off the bike.

this is what i do to keep it under control:

lay on my back and grab my leg behind my knee and squeeze it to my chest and up (with knee bent) keep that position for 1 minute. then take your leg and pull it to the opposite side, again squeezing it to my chest.

then do the other leg. (sorry, i can't find a picture of this, the trainer at my gym suggested it
and i get nearly instant results!)

You can see how you're doing by attempting this stretch:


if your shoulders pop up or your knee won't go down with this one, you need to keep doing the first stretch. good luck!
