Getting in Gear (Bad Pun Alert!)

Cycling is such a fun and functional way to exercise. I love cruising around town, to the grocery store, to work. I save gas, I get to breathe and be in nature (sort of), and I get a workout.


It can be a major pain too, literally. Low back pain is extremely common among cyclists, and I know this from experience (from my pre-Pilates days of course ;-) The good news is that the core strengthening and alignment gained in your Pilates workouts translates to your cycling, both to prevent pain and injury and to boost your performance! What's not to love?
