I’ve mentioned in earlier posts how I prefer to pedal standing up on an upright bike. That is difficult aerobically, and feels a little bit like working which is nice for a former runner. However these days I haven’t been capable of do it a lot as a result of my SI joint complains. This isn’t too unhealthy by itself however will 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 attempting it on my rides not too long ago. Little by little I add in additional standing, and at this time I used to be capable of 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 enables me additionally to deal with rougher terrain as a result of your legs soak up numerous the vibration when standing.

I’ve additionally been avoiding longer rides on my upright bike, however with the SI joint belt on, I did high-quality on a three-hour lengthy group experience final Tuesday. I will likely be good to experience the upright extra and add extra selection in my coaching.
