fuerstpueckler Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hello,I don't warm up myself very intensive! But I stretches my arms, legs and shoulders, because otherwise my joints are painful after hard riding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) to warm up i tap, gap and sidehop as high/far as i can.....get nackered and go home.so basically my warm up is my ride Seriously the best bet is a (slightly old/maybe a sticky) topic in full members written by a doctor/physio about injuries, in there he does a good job of explaining some preventative measures against muscle injury!it is important to warm up, especially if you have driven to a spot to ride.

Ben Lazenby Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 i tend to just messaround on things you find easy to do to get warmed up on the bike and not go too big streight away thats how most of us warm up when we go on a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Thornton Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I dont warm up the same the as i would for a rugby match.I just do things that i know i can do to get into the swing of things, and then I try to do things more challenging.Dan.

spartan Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I usually stretch out the big muscles just lightly, like a couple 10 second reps with the quads, hamstring, lower back and the arms.My right should has a tendancy to dislocate fairly easily so i have to strech around that area alot more thoroughly but i usually just hop around a bit and stretch whats stiff.That said use your little warm up wall to stretch out and get comfy before you move to the 20ft dropgap youve been eyeing.Just makes sense man,cheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis-Trials Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah, Eat and eat and eat, Then drink coffee, and a bacon cob. Then after that i stretch the legs of and all that, i would never be able to ride propely if i didnt stretch because i Dislicated My Hip. And that is not everyones cup of tea.
