Even cyclists have more problems than weight trainers because of over use effect. It is important to always keep the spine aligned. The nervous system is housed in the spine and every twist or turn we make moves the precise alignment we require to sustain health. Twisting or rotating under tension can greatly affect the spinal cord and put pressure on any or all nerves leading throughout the entire body. Especially the sciatic which runs through the butt and hamstrings.
Water is a necessity.
Sport drinks are useless sugars and salts. We need food and water after training not sugar water. A flexible person circulates nutrients to healing tissues. A tight muscle dies from lack of replenishment. We would like to thank Don for his time.
