Скачать или смотреть 15-Minute Mobility Routine for Mountain Bikers (Follow Along)

A 15-minute mobility routine built specifically for mountain bikers. Follow along. Ride better. Feel better.

In this session, MTB Strength Coach Alex Ackerley guides Jake from Mind Mountain through the key mobility work most riders actually need — targeting the hips, thoracic spine, shoulders, and posture muscles that get tight from time on the bike.

If you deal with low-back stiffness, tight hips, numb hands, sore neck, or that “locked-up” feeling after riding, this routine is for you.

No yoga background. No complicated drills. Minimal equipment.

Just practical mobility that transfers directly to better riding.

🚵 What This Session Will Help You Do

• Get more comfortable in the attack position
• Reduce neck, shoulder, and low-back tension
• Restore hip extension and rotation
• Improve breathing and endurance on the bike
• Move more fluidly over rough terrain
• Stay durable through long rides and park days

⸻

🕒 When To Use It

• Before a ride as movement prep
• After riding to reduce stiffness
• On rest days for recovery
• During the off-season
• Anytime you feel tight from too much saddle time

2–4× per week works well for most riders.

🧠 Why Mountain Bikers Need Specific Mobility

Riding puts you in a forward-flexed position for long periods — hips shortened, shoulders rounded, mid-back stiff, neck working overtime.

This routine restores the movement you lose so your strength, handling, and endurance can actually improve.

Mobility alone won’t make you fast — but without it, performance and durability suffer.
