I’ve mentioned in earlier posts how I prefer to pedal standing up on an upright bike. That is difficult aerobically, and feels a bit like working which is nice for a former runner. However these days I haven’t been in a position to do it a lot as a result of my SI joint complains. This isn’t too dangerous by itself however could be an early signal of sciatica flaring up which I positively wish to keep away from. I’ve talked about having issues with this previously . However I remembered that my SI joint belt might help with this so I’ve been making an attempt it on my rides just lately. Little by little I add in additional standing, and right this moment I used to be in a position to get away with fairly a little bit of it with out points. I did it over at Anderson Lake County Park and the filth paths close to the Coyote Creek path. I had forgotten how this permits me additionally to deal with rougher terrain as a result of your legs soak up a whole lot of the vibration when standing.
I’ve additionally been avoiding longer rides on my upright bike, however with the SI joint belt on, I did effective on a three-hour lengthy group trip final Tuesday. I shall be good to trip the upright extra and add extra selection in my coaching.
