- Making Your Body More Aero On The Bike | How To Get Into A More Aero Position By Changing Your Body
You can go out and spend 10K on a new aero bike, but if you want FREE speed and even more of an aero gain, it will come from changing your position on the bike.
Research has shown that the majority of drag comes not from the bike but from your body - it is about 80% body and 20% bike. If you can get yourself into a more aero position that is comfortable, you will gain more speed than any bike alone could deliver.
The problem, however, is that most patients and cyclists I see lack the flexibility to get into, nevermind, ride in an aero position for long. So often, patients complain about a bike fitter putting them into too aggressive of a position that their body cannot adapt to. A lack of flexion mobility and core strength is often the reason for this poor fit and the eventual discomfort.
This routine will help you to change your body so that it can more easily adopt an aerodynamic position without compromising power or your spine health (read: PAIN).

Excited I found this channel! Been doing these exercises to help me get comfortable with clip on aero bars. I did a short 30 min ride after the video and have had no back or neck pain since! Will have to build up time with the clip ons, but this seems promising! Thanks!
excited to try this. Thank you Doc.
Feel like this video will help me get used to my slammed stem 😅
Thank you!
Hi, If I want to put these exercises along with the core workouts as part of my routine how many times a week should I do them? I have the same question for core strength workouts. I train for 5 days a week on the bike and have 2 gym session, I can fit these in the evening everyday comfortably for 30 min. I wanted to know what would be a recommended amount so I don't overdo it.
In my experience my biggest issue is that when I try to get into an Aero position and get my arms to those 90 degrees is that my arm muscles get sore quickly
Its cause youre weak Anders. W-E-A-K.
do it more often
yeah, you need a very strong core to hold that position and not put your whole weight on your arms
4:23 so casual
Excited to try this. Good thing to try while watching Paris - Roubaix :)
Music too loud
I know this sounds stupid, but I love race bikes even though I sit in the office a lot, and I like to ride aero and fast... a relaxed endurance race bike is just not for me.
I work at an online bike shop and I've been riding road bikes for 9 years and most of that time purebred race bikes like the Trek 5500 OCLV 120 or Merida Scultura and now I'm ordering the new 2022 Allez Sprint frameset.... and I don't want to end up with 4 cm spacers under the stem.
Neither of those bikes have terribly low head tubes. You can change that a lot with an angled down stem. That said, what you want is what you want. That doesn't mean it's actually doing you any good. Are you in your drops for entire rides? Are your arms 90 degrees? What's your wattage in every zone with a flat back vs sitting up somewhat relaxed on the hoods etc.
Cannondale Supersix and CAAD 13 are 16mm lower in the head tube. Sounds a lot like you massage your ego through bike fit😅
Ridiculous
...... yes?
@@tt-tk9076 Medical degree in aerodynamics? Now YOU are ridiculous.
@@tt-tk9076 I have a chiropractic degree - do you want to see that ;) ask any pro and they will tell you a more flexible and mobile body allows you to adopt a more flexed forward/less upright and more aerodynamic position. Kick dirt
I was interested until you said you were a chiropractic scammer
