5-Pose Yoga Fix: Stretches for Cyclists

骑自行车是一项伟大的运动,可以带来许多好处 - 从交叉训练到卡路里燃烧到使您的位置 - 但是长时间握住该位置可以使脖子缠绕,缩短脊椎并拧紧背部和臀部。最重要的是,上半身往往会在骑自行车的人中发育不足,这会导致身体更强的部分捡起松弛。这通常会导致肌肉失衡和过度损害。

瑜伽有助于拉长脊柱,增强未充分利用的区域,并稳定臀部,腹股沟和脚踝的肌肉。它还松开紧身的臀部和腿筋,为您提供更强大的踏板中风。在您的休假日子里进行更长的练习,再加上这五个姿势,将使您的时间更加强大,更容易。将这些姿势中的每一个都保持在5-10次呼吸中,以拉长并松开您刚刚工作的肌肉。

1. CAT AND COW

Cat and cow pose go together like peanut butter and jelly. Cat stretches the back and strengthens the abdominals, while cow opens the chest and strengthens the back. Together, they bring mobility and flexibility to the spine and relieve back and neck tension.

The move:Start in a tabletop position on your hands and knees so that your palms press into the ground and your knees rest under your hips. Make sure your wrists, elbows and shoulders form one straight line and your knees and hips form another.

As you exhale, press into the ground with your hands and round your back like an angry cat. Gently bring your chin toward your chest to activate your abdominals, pulling your navel toward your spine.

On your inhale, come into cow by arching your back in the opposite direction. Broaden your chest and lift your tailbone to the sky so your belly sinks toward the floor.

Hold each pose for several breaths or find a gentle flow between the two so that with each exhale you round into cat and with each inhale you open into cow.

2. DOWN DOG

这会延长背部肌肉和腿筋。扩大立场,并保持膝盖软弯,以使姿势更容易获得。

The move:Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Slide your palms forward so they rest in front of your shoulders, and tuck your toes under. As you exhale, press your palms into the ground and lift your knees off the ground, straightening your arms and legs. Your body will form a wide, upside-down V shape.

Push your thighs back, pressing your heels toward the floor, but don’t worry if they don’t touch. Broaden your shoulders by rotating your arms slightly so your elbow creases face the sky. Relax your neck, and take 5–10 breaths here.

3. PLANK

这种完全的增强剂非常适合上半身,背部和核心,它们通常在骑自行车的人中发育不足。

The move:用手腕直接在肩膀下方开始膝盖。接合腹部,塞满脚趾,然后退脚。继续收缩腹部,这样您就可以从头部到高跟鞋创建一条长线,避免将屁股伸向空中或掉下腹部。在手指前稍微看一下,以保持颈部长。保持5-10次呼吸。

4.与肩膀揭幕战的站立

This stretches the hamstrings, releases the low back and opens the chest and shoulders. Use a strap or towel to make the shoulder opener more accessible.

The move:Face the long edge of your mat with your feet 3–4 feet apart. Turn your toes in slightly and engage the thighs. Bring your hands to your hips and, as you exhale, lean your torso forward until it is parallel to the floor. Lengthen through the entire torso and on your next exhale fold completely. Focus on hinging from the hips so you stretch the hamstrings without compromising the back. Take the arms behind your back, interlace the fingers and let your arms fall toward the floor. Let your head be relaxed and heavy. Relax your eyes and hold here for 5–10 breaths.

5. HALF LORD OF THE FISHES

这种深扭曲是脊柱的绝佳释放,打开肩膀并伸展臀部。

The move:Sit on the floor or the edge of a blanket with your legs extended. Cross your right leg over your left so your right knee points to the ceiling and your right foot sits outside your left knee. You can keep your left leg straight with your foot flexed or bend your left leg so that your left foot rests near your right hip. Try to keep both sits bones on the ground.

吸气,拉长脊椎,伸展左臂的头顶。向左呼气和扭曲,将左手释放到您身后的地板上。吸气并伸展右臂的头顶。呼气和扭曲,使您的右肘靠在右膝盖的外部。在每条吸气中,继续通过躯干找到长度,意识到不要从胸部塌陷。保持5-10次呼吸,在另一侧重复。
