All those back stretches and hamstring stretches were hard work!

Time to lie down again – this time to stretch your glutes. The glute muscles are some of biggest, hardest working muscles in the body, and they’re key in cycling. If they ‘re tight or unhappy, smaller muscles will end up compensating – which is not good.

To stretch the glutes, lie on your back and draw one knee over your body – you can gently move your knee up and down to turn this into a dynamic stretch.
