To prevent this from happening and to make our cycling sessions less effective, we need to know what are the 5 most common mistakes to avoid.
Wrong handle of dumbbells
The dumbbells only serve to help balance the posture, not to withstand the weight of the whole body. In order to have a proper posture, you should avoid holding the handlebar too firmly. By putting all the weight on the dumbbells, there is the risk of accumulating tension on the shoulders and back. Instead, move the weight to the lower part of the body, bringing your backs back and relax your arms to reduce tension.
Inadequate adjustment of the saddle
A saddle too low, does not allow us to completely stretch our legs, making our workouts less effective. Placing it too high, the weight rest on the hips and hips and consequently reaching the bottom in each pedal is difficult. We need to adjust the saddle to the perfect height for our stature, to pedal properly and train it properly.
Incorrect handlebar height
After adjusting the height of the saddle correctly, we have to deal with adjusting the height of the handlebar against the saddle. Avoid adjusting the handlebar exasperated in one direction or the other. A too high position does not allow intense agonistic practice, and sad posture is too erect, causing excessive pressure on the coccyx. A position too low in the reverse, it restricts leg movements and fatigue the back and groin, which is compressed in the effort.
Poor posture
This error mainly affects the position of the knees during an exercise session with the bike. It happens that during the pedal, the knees are too far forward to touch the bike. This happens when the saddle is positioned too close to the handlebars and consequently, leads us to assume a wrong posture, with the center of gravity shifted too far forward. So let’s move the back seat, enough to allow us to be comfortable and easily reach the dumbbells.
Unbalanced movements
Swinging from side to side while you are pedaling, it is a very common mistake when you train with the bike. To overcome this, you need to stay focused during exercise. As we were pedal, we look ahead of us trying to keep the balance and stay stable with the bust, leaving the legs pushing on the pedals. We fall off our pedals and try to keep the sides firm on the saddle.
