Yoga for cycling

One leg crossover
Stretches groin, inner thighs, knees & lower back
Lie on your back and cross your left ankle over your right thigh. Lift your right foot off the floor, bend your right knee, and bring your right thigh close to your chest. Thread your left arm in the space between your legs and bring your right arm around the outside of your right leg. Interlace your fingers underneath your right knee. Use your left elbow to press your left knee away from your chest. Take 5 slow breaths. Repeat on the other side. To make it harder: lift your head, neck and shoulders a few centimetres off the ground towards your right knee to challenge your core.
