Hip-opener yoga for the cycling crouch
Intermediate · 40–54 · ~25 min
25 minutes of hip and hip-flexor openers to undo the forward-folded riding position. Below is a research-backed prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — copy it, paste the reply into sweatcue, and run the whole yoga flow hands-free.
Session at a glance
This is how sweatcue structures the session once you paste it in — timed blocks with auto-starting rest and spoken cues. Figures are read from the prompt itself.

Why it's built this way
Regular stretching reliably increases joint range of motion over time, so a consistent hip-opener routine can help offset the shortened, flexed positions cycling reinforces. Yoga also has modest, real benefits for flexibility and stress. Be honest: a single session loosens you temporarily, but lasting mobility gains come from doing this repeatedly, and stretching won't directly improve your cycling power.
