Remain standing, with legs slightly apart, bending your chest forward with your arms outstretched until you place them on a table or on the top tube of the bike. Your body should form a 90 degree angle. To stretch, lower the entire dorsal and lumbar area by pressing the torso downward. This type of stretch is highly beneficial for cyclists, as the lower back and dorsal areas are the ones that cause a lot of problems, pain and discomfort. The reasons may vary: from an incorrect position on the bike to pulling the lower back muscles too much when cycling.
