I'm 46 and I haven't ridden in 20 years. I recently got a new bike and started riding again. I ride daily since I live on a hillside and it's an amazing workout. I usually do a 20-30 minute climb and then have an excellent 5-8 minutes of downhill on a rough and rocky trail. After watching this video I found that I'm in the right zone for handling the rugged stuff but this helped me realize some small changes I can focus on to make my technique cleaner. Thanks for the videos! You've been a ton of help for a guy relearning how to ride.
Yeah... watching your videos makes me more conscious of the quads and hamstrings. The problem is getting older and having an old groin injury - which by nature never really heal. I have to be very careful doing squats or any bending below the waist exercise. And definitely no weights on squats.
@@mountainbikeacademy Absolutely. Am a firm believer in PT. I still do all the exercises I received from the appointments. Without, I would probably not be able to run or mtb. But once you hit a certain age - things just "happen". You don't really bounce back like when you were young like in your 40s. You work around it.
Best analogy I've ever heard: The bike is like a horse you're better off moving with it than fighting it... That shot at 0:38 would have made a great thumbnail, just saying. I still didn't get an action cam neither I convinced people to film me, booo
How did this help you shred? Comment any questions below!
how many kinetic squad reps would you recommend daily, 4-8 or more like 20?
no more like do this 1-2 times 2 times per week or 3 if you're feeling wild. It's neuromuscular retraining, not a "workout".
😃 👍

My pleasure! Have fun

Have you done physical therapy? Out of curiosity.

It would! I filmed it in a slow frame rate so it would have been super blurry
DaDa does me good 😊
