Power & Stability on the bike

TIP - Keeping your hips stable on the bike

Have you seen the cyclist whose hips move from side to side with each pedal stroke? Are you that cyclist? An efficient rider has a strong stable pelvis which enables them to direct the maximum amount of power they generate down into the pedals. If you have an unstable pelvis you are losing power via the movement of your pelvis. Check out this training tip to see how Pilates for Sports and 10PFS can help you develop a stable pelvis so you can go faster.
