I've pointed her to your blog for an excellent explanation as to why she should "just say no." As always, you are a font of information!<BR/><BR/>PinkPinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439440149897115944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966219458009671363.post-47722861961911176712008-06-04T23:32:00.000-06:002008-06-04T23:32:00.000-06:00Thanks again!

Most people know about the ACL (anterior crusciate ligament) in the knee. These two ligaments cross, and hold the joint together, keeping it from hyperextending or keeping the tibia (lower leg bone) from pushing forward at the knee. Shame on me for thinking that everyone knows what I'm talking about- much less my foreign visitors! <BR/><BR/>The ACL is the one most often damaged in an accident (skiing, falling, stepping into a hole), but the PCL can be stretched as well. You don't want to put the knee into a position that stretches either of these, and some of these contraindicated positions will do that on an IDC bike.<BR/><BR/>Also, when I talk about a bicycle flexing, I am referring to a road bike outside. The frame can actually flex and absorb the shocks of the road. different materials flex better than others, e.g. aluminum bikes are very stiff and titanium or carbon frames flex more. This flexion, along with the side to side movement in the frame as you ride is the reason we keep our upper bodies still when riding outdoors. The energy can be dissipated in the movement of the bike. A Spinner bike does not flex or bend or move in any way, so without a slight rhythm release, all the energy you've created through your pedaling will get trapped in your joints (neck, shoulders, back, hips). That's why we ride slightly different indoors than outdoors!<BR/><BR/>I hope that makes sense, if not, email me and I can go into it more deeply.<BR/><BR/>JenniferJennifer Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335383817004452375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966219458009671363.post-90607559059684351172008-05-21T22:02:00.000-06:002008-05-21T22:02:00.000-06:00Hi Jennifer and all spinning fans!I will appreciat...Hi Jennifer and all spinning fans!<BR/>I will appreciate if anybody can explain to me what´s the meaning of PCL? i don´t understand what stands for...<BR/>thanks in advance!<BR/>Victoria <BR/>Star 3 Spinning Instructor<BR/>Costa Rica<BR/><BR/>PD<BR/>by flexing ,Jennifer, what do you mean exactly?
