We understand the science behind "functional movement" on a bike and develop our gym routines and exercise programs to match muscle movement during this activity which adds to the overall enjoyment of your total fitness program at Life Boost - Fitness....
Important to note!
Like most of our activities the specific body movements involved are all about multiple muscle groups working in concert with each other to accomplish the task at hand. This is the natural movement of the body in most daily and recreational activities....
Muscle Balance and It's Importance
Generally speaking when any muscle is targeted for development such as biceps when doing bicep curls there will be a tentency to create muscle imbalances where one muscle group is stronger than associated muscles. This leads to many problems associtaed with pain throughout the body as one muscle group will either be shortened or lengthened by being stronger or weaker depending on the targeted exercise. Because of this phenomenom we elect to forgo utilizing machine exercises when looking to develop and enhance body strength for cycling. More specifically we utilize "Compound Exercises" which is more related to the full cycle of movement as depicted in the picture below. We accomplish this with free weights, body weight, or a combination of both.

The Transitional Movement of muscle groups in Cycling......
.......the obvious need to therefore structure exercise routines that also provide "Transitional Movements" that will enhance the cycling experience............
Without you knowing it we will watch all your functional movements and then correct anything that needs attention to make sure this does not happen...................
