Pressing RESET for Efficient Mountain Biking - Paperback

by Original Strength (Author), Michael Barnard (Author)

Mountain biking can be a strenuous yet exhilarating exercise or competition. Strength and moving well are two necessary components for every rider. These help you with your endurance so you can ride stronger for longer, assist in injury prevention and improve your longevity in the sport.

Mountain biking requires the rider to use certain body positions and powerful movements - from hinging deep into an attack position, producing enough tension to grind up a steep climb, absorbing impact from jumps and drops to exploding into a bunny hop to clear an obstacle. When mountain biking, you want your body ready and able to execute the necessary skills.

However, our modern lifestyle tends to lack a variety of movements. Since many of our daily positions mirror our biking position - from sitting at the desk or while we drive with our hips hinged at 90 degrees and being slightly bent over - this can leave many avid riders with issues like low back pain, underactive glutes, a weak core, and even inefficient control of their breathing.

To help undo these effects, we need to Press RESET on our body to restore our posture and movement quality - in other words, restore our original strength. Your original strength is what allows you to live life the way you want to. It is having the ability to participate in whatever activities you want while doing them safely and confidently. When you have your original strength, your body moves optimally and is free to express its full potential.

In this booklet, we will share RESETs that get your body to move optimally so you can ride and feel your best. Are you ready to unlock your movement and riding potential?
