Cycling is a great way to get around and enjoy the local area near Dairy Barns. It’s also a great workout. But, like any workout, it’s important to warm up before you start pedalling.
Here are a few tips to help you warm up before you go for a ride:
1. Do some light stretching.
Before you get on your bike, take a few minutes to do some light stretching. This will help loosen up your muscles and prepare your body for the workout ahead.
2. Start with a slow ride.
Don’t go full throttle right from the start. Start with a slower pace and gradually increase your speed as you warm up.
3. Pay attention to your body.
Listen to your body and stop if you start to feel pain. It’s important to warm up gradually, so you don’t injure yourself.
