For my lower back pain, my personal trainer (whom is also Dr. Mercola's PT) recommended “hip lifts” or “lying hip raises.” This successfully engages the gluts, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. All of these muscles work together to support your lower back. Try a few every morning when you get up! Best wishes everyone!
Hi, Dr. Berg . I would have needed this video two decades ago. That would have saved me some of the difficulties I've had in both hips. Until a year and a half ago, I was a passionate cyclist who, if not outdoors, was at home on the spinning bike, almost every day by road bike or mountain bike. I also did strength training, but a few years ago I thought I could omit all the leg training, because I'm riding without so much bike. A fatal mistake, because the entire back of the leg plus gluteal muscle remained outside. Fortunately, I'm a lot of hiked and at least compensated for something like that. Who knows what else would have happened? Greetings from germany .
I'm 73 and I've tried just about every sport and exercise regime know to man.....my conclusion?....Try brisk walking, especially uphill.....no gear or special equipment necessary....just a bit of discipline....
Interesting. I have been mountain biking for at least 2 months. Squats and deadlifting helps a lot with this sport. Also of course the saddle and position on the bike. Ergon’s saddle is magnificent for me.
@John G Only the bad ones. Anyone who really rides has been humbled by other riders speed and the destruction that comes from overreaching--as long mountain rides can do to anyone. I lived in CO and was around pro and ex-pro cyclist, all friendly. Only jackfaces I meet were frauds (like golfers who shoot 85 and think they should belittle someone who shoots 95). One of just a few instances, in brief: I was eating after an hour ride to the foot of a 2 hour climb (Dear Creek Canyon outside Denver if anyone knows the popular roads). 3 guys just off work (drafting with each other mind you) pass me and two of them exchanged laughs at my professional appearance (often I was mistaken for one) and the fact that I was going so slow (again eating and preparing for the climb). Later, halfway up the climb and where the road goes from moderate slop to 10+ degrees and switch backs, I caught up to these three, who at this pivotal point in the hill, turned around and headed downhill and back home, for around a 20 mile ride together (I was riding alone 40+ miles and climbing a mountain that often saw big temperature drops and storms as I was heading up it). As they turned in the road and noticed me, I gave a friendly wave and headed up the hill at a blistering pace none of them could have hoped to match.
The concept of balancing opposing muscles a critical aspect often overlooked by practitioners. I only found out about it through Neurokinetic Therapy. Glad to hear it mentioned elsewhere!
When I first started cycling, my quads were _really_ sore. I found that increasing the RPM (so, between 95 and 100 is perfect) seemed to take a lot of the load off the quads. I'm not sure why, but I did find out later that cycling at a low RPM is sub-optimal. When I started I was in the 70's, so that makes sense.
A video about joint health please. To help boost recovery process of joint injury, or simply to strengthen joints for those who train hard. I know some fitness expert simply say taking more collagen to support joints, but maybe you know something more
I'm aware of my anterior pelvic tilt and I was wondering if cycling was one of the causes. Then I see this video and it confirmed what I thought. I guess it is time to start deadlifting.
Check out AthleanX's channel. His video on hips helped me. I mainly have a very weak left gluteus medius, causing my hip to tilt to the left and hard to place left heel on ground for proper propulsion.
Not sure what find of cycling he/she is doing but the butt is highly developed by climbing hills. Squats and other exercises help add strength too but nothing like roads with +5 degree slope that last for 10 miles or more (pieces shorter climbs together works too). I lived in CO so this was easy then and my butt muscles were stronger than my quads. Climbing also uses several muscles in the upper body, most of them in fact when you stand up (excepting the easily worked chest and biceps). The problem with pro cyclists is the weight imbalance is intentional as extra grams in the arms will slow you down over the course of several hours. Being on the bike for hours every day cause long term health issues as well .... Oh and briefly a couple of foods that many will not know the importance of for a cyclist: citrus (esp before ride), calcium (esp after)--huge difference in health and performance.
Hi Dr. Berg, have you considered doing a video on chronically enlarged lymph nodes, like I suggested in a previous comment? Seems to be an untouched topic online.
I recommend to my clients anterior hip stretches for this particular issue. You have to "open up" the contracted muscles. It also feels really good to them (when they lie down on their backs) to place a supportive pillow or rolled up towel under the lumbars. Again, this opens up the anterior pelvis. Hope that helps someone. 🙂
Thank you for this as I do a lot of cycling as have stopped driving. I cycle about 20 miles or more a day. I was wondering if I was over doing certain muscles. Will watch the other videos on this. Thank you Dr Berg
There have been reliable studies that showed almost no one with clip-in pedals actually pulls up on the pedal. What most do is push down less on the upstroke. That feels like pulling up because of the reference point of platform pedals.
My mind is actually blown. So does it make the rider less efficient, if they are just 'going easy" because their brain is tricked into thinking they are performing better with clip ins? (I don't know the actual term for the clippy shoes).
@@lauren8627 First, my terminology was not correct. The modern pedal systems are called, "Clipless Pedals". The older, strap ins were called, "Clip-in" pedals, so they changed the name when the new systems were introduced. Despite the name, "Clipless Pedals" in-fact have the rider clip into the pedal. To your question, modern clipless pedals are more efficient even for recreational riders. While a recreational rider is usually still pressing down on the upstroke, they are usually pressing down much less than they would with platform pedals. What's more, that same rider will be to some extent pushing forward and backward when the crank arms are horizontal. The way I learned a LONG time ago was to think of each pedal stroke as a horseshoe facing forward on the pedal stroke. Focus on the horseshoe area of the stroke. The open part of the horseshoe (front, downstroke) you can essentially ignore because it's so natural to push down on the pedal anyway. This hopefully will lead to you being able to focus on the entire 360 degree stroke. When a rider is more experienced, the difference in the efficiency of a clipless pedal system is much higher.
I use my bike a lot to get from A to B, and without bike shoes. I notice my quads are quite big, and I have back, groin and hip problems. Not huge problems, but it's for sure not optimal. I don't know if I agree that the psoas get overdeveloped. Everyone says I should stretch my hip flexors, but it doesn't do anything for me, it rather do it worse. The psoas muscles doesn't get very much work in biking. It is always quadriceps that push the pedal down, the other move up, without much help from the psoas. When I do hanging leg raises to over 90 degrees, just to challange my psoas and hip flexors strength, it's shocking weak. I can only do a few, and I would consider myself as a fit guy. Maybe the quadriceps and psoas is also imbalance? I don't know. Just a thought.
As always: great Video, thank you! That‘s exactly what I went through with a friend of mine just two weeks ago and the results are slowly coming in. As a sports scientist and athletic coach in various sports I deal with these kind of problems day in and day out. In my opinion frequency is key here to change neurological patterns of muscle activation and resting tone on the long run besides strength development itself. One little thing: at 1:05 you wanted to say, that the rectus femoris is a knee extensor as well as a hip flexor, right? That happens to me too sometimes talking to my students :) no offence, just wanted to clarify the content! Have a great day you all and all the best from southern Germany :)
I rode about 10 miles and walked 2 at beach on thick sand them 2 days later rode 15 but wore sandals instead of proper shoes and foot started swelling to almost twice the size so perhaps it was from not having g bike pedal straps ? Idk because there was no injured that occurred and it’s been over a month and X-ray showed nothing broken but it has not gotten better ! Crazy! I stopped my high over a year Ago so now going back to that cause k never had an injury from doing yoga and was super strong and even picked up and dragged large fallen branches and small trees that fell across force at my parents vacation home ! iChat Afford to nibble around and be in pain for over a month just from trying to stay cool while riding a bike !
I’ve been struggling with back pain for about 6 years and I’m hoping this could be it. I played a lot of baseball growing up and would have pain after my games. I’m thinking it could be from all the sprints. Maybe over developed quad but we will see. Thank you!
Dr. Berg please make a video on Eggplant. I really love it but I'm not having it because it has 3.5 sugars per 100 g. I know it has fiber but I don't know about the sugar in it. Will be waiting for your response. Thanks a lot!
They need to strenghen more the posterior chain, to compensate the over-developed anterior chain. Regarding to lower back pain, I think that's inevitable, due to the position they must engage while cycling, for a long period of time. Although, that pain can be reduced, with certain exercises to strengthen the lower back, as well as gluteus and hamstring; such as good-morning, deadlift (Romanian, conventional and sumo), hiptrust, kick-butt, Norwegian-curl, squat (front, back and goblet variations), and of course, hip flexors main exercises and stretchings, to keep those muscles on their optimal strength and length, as they're always tight due to constant contraction while cycling.
For any sort of cycling, Downhilling is actually better for the legs and back, as a lot of the time you're upright, and things like tabletops and kick outs, flips etc, develop muscles better as well as giving others a break.
No argument with what Dr. Berg says on this topic regarding muscle balance. A series of light stretches, a good routine with weight and a proper bike fit is in order.
I love bike commuting, but I've found that an aggressive biking posture really aggravates my iliopsoas. Do you think that an upright, cruiser style position would use more glutes and less quads?
Wonderful! What about using the REBOUNDER or bigger trampoline? - I use a Belicon as the bungees give a comfortable bounce that is good for moving the lymph system but despite stretching, squats with weights, etc.stretching, yoga, etc I started to have deep, inner "butt" pain - - others have commented this as well - -
Dr. Berg, I had foot injury that resulted in me having a great time fusion; then ultimately having another surgery to the point they rebroke my toe, only to use soft tissue so that I could start using my left leg more. My question is, Would this work for me because I'm trying build up my left leg because it is underdeveloped?
Curious to know if you see similar issues in patients who does a lot of indoor cycling. I’ve been doing soulcycle for years and noticed how much it took a toll on my lower back … ultimately always throws my back out 😢
Hello Dr. Berg! Can you please explain the differences between indoor and outdoor cycling ?which one is beneficial for whom? Who should avoid which one?tks
Genius Dr Berg Thank You , glutes workouts every second day , it’s my homework now, I really want to fix my lower back once for all. I should have known this, when I look in the mirror and I can’t see my bottoms!!!😃👍
My cycling/spinning issue is STIFF SHOULDERS. I spin (with proper spinning shoes) 4 times a week and on numerous occasions my instructor noticed and pointed out about my shoulders not being relaxed enough. I don't know why I tend to stiffen up but I don't realized it and I don't feel the stiffness. Anyone else can relate?
Dr. Berg, can you please make a video on if you should also add lemon skin to hot water, or only the juice? Everybody seems to only be using the juice.
JoJosXKeto - Otaku’s If your lemons are organic and you are sure about it, then use the skin. Because of pesticides, herbicides, and other “icides” the skin is avoided because how do you remove the chemicals from the skin? Otherwise, the skin has the most vitaminC!
Make sure bike is properly sized and fitted. High cadence puts less pressure on knees. Biking is zero impact unlike running, but running is more readily aerobic if one wants cardiovascular fitness. One has to make an extra effort to get their pulse up when biking. Most people who bike pedal too slow like walking pace, and since sitting is a lot less work than walking or running. Walking/hiking/running is weight bearing and very good to do, almost all weather and all season, all hours, biking is not. And most have to ride on roads with cars, a lot less safe than being on feet.
@@robertp7209 thank you. That's very encouraging. I like RPM classes at the gym for the reason you mentioned- slow cycling, dangerous on road ... My instructor makes sure we have lots of climbing and racing. Some people will endure racing much better than climbing, others will be better at climbing. Good to hear there is zero impact on knees. Just need to make sure we work glutes and hamstring so we don't get back pain.
Dr Berg the colored part of my lips shrunk due to bad gut problems even though the lips itself are still the same size, is this reversible? It looks awful.
Aren't you supposed to be at the Summit with Karen, or are you Dr Bergs twin getting us at it again.? I find the best thing for glutes is the left cheek/right cheek floor butt shuffle, sat up straight, with your arms folded. Watch out for splinters though. & Why do I want Ham now. Lol. Thanks for sharing this important information with us all, & take care too, whoever you are. 🤔❤🙂🐶
From my experience, drink herbs that are similar to coffee. Chicory root and dandelion root are similar tasting to coffee, plus added benefit of detoxing liver. And try other teas as well, they are many out there, exotic and calming. Recently I am loving rooibos tea. Good luck!
Dear Dr Eric Berg. I have a serious question.. Keto diet limits just 20% of protein a day so as per my plan I cant eat more than 33 grams of protein a day atleast till I reach my goal. I am type 2 diabetic but now blood sugar is normal after I started Keto diet.. My question is it safe to eat just 33 g of protein to maintain ketosis?? thank in advance.
I think you're getting grams of macros and percentage of calories mixed up. Most people will need to be consuming 100g of protein on keto. I suggest you double check your macros by using the Carb Manager app on your phone xx
@@lauren8627 Thanks for the prompt reply .. If I need 100g of protein then does that means i need 400g of fat per day as per keto macro split up?? Seriously confused.. will check teh app for sure.. would be helpful if you could post the link of any of your videos which would clear me out of this confusion.
@bang your head thanks for the reply.. So which one should I consider? grams or calories? As per this analogy 144 grams of fat is 65%. Then actual protein should not exceed 44 grams. this is where my confusion arise..
If i take one large egg as example then how should i calculate the macros of protein and fat from it?? It has 5 g of fat and 6 g of protein.. But I heard more calories are from fat.. Just confused..

Hey . I thought I will miss my teacher since he is busy in the summit . But you had it all planned sir .thanks .
I'm 73 and I've tried just about every sport and exercise regime know to man.....my conclusion?....Try brisk walking, especially uphill.....no gear or special equipment necessary....just a bit of discipline....
Agree 100%👍
Yep I agree too, bike riding irritated my right knee but once I changed to walking I had no problem with my knee anymore!
I have been cycling for past 6 years and this explains everything.

Hi, what about indoor rowing? I had a lumbar micro discectomy a couple of months ago and I’m hesitating about going back to use my concept2.

😎Stand up paddleboard for core,and bike for cardio.👍🏼
You read my mind with this one Dr. Berg! Thank you for sharing this amazing video!
How about Pilates?
Yoga weirds me out, with ties that are contrary to my beliefs.
Brilliant Dr Berg you are a wealth of knowledge. And we totally appreciate it. Thanks

Gluts with no E is crazy 😂
Pls explain if there is any other treatment for this cycling back pain apart from Yoga.
Pilates
Check out Athlean-X channel for tight hip flexor. Saved me from a lot of pain.

Thanks Marion.👍
Weight lifting. Dead lifts, hip thrusts would be a good place to start. But Yoga is great! :)
@@judearulraj4401 You're welcome. Hope it helps.
Sorry doc I disagree on bikes they help my back tremendously. These people may want to do some cross training an stretching.
Dr Berg I just wanted to ask : How can I overcome coffee addiction?
I just wanted to ask*
From my experience, drink herbs that are similar to coffee. Chicory root and dandelion root are similar tasting to coffee, plus added benefit of detoxing liver. And try other teas as well, they are many out there, exotic and calming. Recently I am loving rooibos tea.
Good luck!
@@اممقداد-ق2م I will try the 3 of them
Wow, a video that is non-keto and is exactly an issue I am having with my hips. Thank you Dr Berg! 👍🥇🏆💯🔥🏌️♂️🚴♂️🏋️♂️
Good to know doctor. Confession...don't know how to cycle nor swimming. Need to learn. 😏
Start today. Time is not merciful. I have to tell you. You are missing a lot, how I know?, I was in your exact same position.
For sure I will. Thanks
Dear Dr Eric Berg.
I have a serious question..
Keto diet limits just 20% of protein a day so as per my plan I cant eat more than 33 grams of protein a day atleast till I reach my goal.
I am type 2 diabetic but now blood sugar is normal after I started Keto diet..
My question is it safe to eat just 33 g of protein to maintain ketosis??
thank in advance.
I think you're getting grams of macros and percentage of calories mixed up. Most people will need to be consuming 100g of protein on keto. I suggest you double check your macros by using the Carb Manager app on your phone xx
@@lauren8627 Thanks for the prompt reply ..
If I need 100g of protein then does that means i need 400g of fat per day as per keto macro split up??
Seriously confused.. will check teh app for sure..
would be helpful if you could post the link of any of your videos which would clear me out of this confusion.
@bang your head thanks for the reply..
So which one should I consider?
grams or calories?
As per this analogy 144 grams of fat is 65%. Then actual protein should not exceed 44 grams. this is where my confusion arise..
If i take one large egg as example then how should i calculate the macros of protein and fat from it?? It has 5 g of fat and 6 g of protein.. But I heard more calories are from fat.. Just confused..
Yeah. I got the math now. Thanks much bang on head.
If your bike fits properly it won’t hurt.
Was thinking of getring a professional bike fit 🤔
My right hip is killing me!
@@tlhogid663 it's a good idea. Sometimes a half cm adjustment makes a world of difference

Golf isn't a sport.
Really over simplifying everything..... Bike fit
Squats and Deadlifts lol
