One more I really like to do for cycling with my bike is I grip the top tube and the handlebar and I lower my hips all way to the ground into a squatting position,” explains triathlon coach Scott Seamster, C.S.C.S. You can make this dynamic by holding at the bottom of the squat for 1 or 2 counts and then rising up again and repeating. “That gets your low back, your quadriceps and your glutes,” says Seamster. It also gets your calf muscles -- the soleus and gastrocnemius. Seamster instructs that you should keep your heels on the floor and squat as low as you can while keeping your torso erect and your gaze forward.
