Now the young Kiwi/Aussie looks 'better' (and I don't [size=7](just) mean cos she's wearing a bit less)[/size] in the sense of more fluid/relaxed, but is she doing it any better?

I can't tell.

This is hopeless -- who wants to go to an instructor for what's a secondary set of conditioning?


2nd on is very good. from side view she is perfect, although when the camera swaps around to the slightly above view she seems to have collapsed in her lumbar. However, i'm not exactly sure what she's doing with her feet/legs. They are neither hip-distance apart or together (ideal). just some random distance. 8/10

I would generally suggest using exercises such as the plank on its own or using an SB. Holding the correct pose for upwards of 30 secs will target the stabilisers. Include rotational work as this won't be used during cycling activities.
as I said, a pointer to a web page containing instructions for a set of exercises would be gratefully received, as I didn't understand a word of that.


How to do the plank - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MHQmRINu4jU
most I can do in one go is 90secs, lad in our club do 4mins+ Shocked


or not, actually Rolling Eyes

she's over-flexing her lumbar spine, her abdobinals are popping and her
neck is in the wrong place. Apart from that, she's perfect ... Wink


Actually, it's over extension.

you couldn't do a bicep curl on a ball if you had weak abs. have you ever tried it??!!


Yes you could, if overactive muscles are doing the job of weak and inhibited ones. e.g Your rectus abdominus (movement muscle )maybe relatively strong/toned but your intrinsic core stabilisers may be relatively weak.

I'm a fan of gym based training but it's about choosing the appropriate exercises performed properly. Not just swinging weights around or balancing on a ball with bad form.
Having said that, you might be a perfect physical specimen..but if you do a lot of miles, I doubt it.

Btw, How will doing an isolation exercise for your biceps carry over to the bike?


It wont I just like to work on the guns...
