This is fantastic. I've been riding since the mid 80's and never considered myself an athlete until the past 15 years, after getting into other sports. I now do very specific exercises/stretches/movements for riding.
The latest thing; I started working on my 2-point on the ground; recognized that I stop breathing in that position! After 3 days of practising breathing and moving through this position, I was able to better implement it in the saddle which, of course, makes everything easier! I'm extremely hyper mobile with a very long torso. Hanna Somatics, Fascial stretches and Pilates have played a huge roll in improving everything in the saddle for me as well.

Thanks for listening, So glad to hear this! What ways has your body responded to doing these specific movements 'in the saddle'?

@@michellewilsondompehsermt4329 that makes complete sense. Sounds like you went to your physical groundwork to improve your saddle time.
