I'm also trying to improve my posture sitting, standing and running. Also been doing basic core work including push ups and low weight squats. I'll look for pictures of Bradley I can share. Thanks again for the advice!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965627917766252437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088161042520192551.post-26814070142219852782012-08-20T16:21:37.162-07:002012-08-20T16:21:37.162-07:00No problem!

Make sure you maintain a neutral spine on and off the bike too- posture is important anytime you lift, sit, drive, walk, etc. Also, if you've been relatively inactive for 6 months, it would be a really good idea to work on core stabilization exercises.Vincent @ ESTrainSmart Bloghttp://eatsleeptrainsmart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088161042520192551.post-60321519033168788152012-08-19T19:59:05.712-07:002012-08-19T19:59:05.712-07:00Thanks for the advice Vincent!

My goal is to ride more like Bradley and I have seen him with an even flatter back than in the second picture above. I spent about 6 month flat on the sofa with a herniated disc so I'm very motivated to improve my posture!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965627917766252437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088161042520192551.post-18457413128202401762012-08-18T15:51:48.478-07:002012-08-18T15:51:48.478-07:00Absolutely!

Tilting the saddle nose down will give your pelvis room to tilt forward (without discomfort) and help you maintain a neutral spine. 10-15 degrees tends to be the maximum range before you'll run into the problem of sliding down the saddle. If you have a smart phone, I recommend getting the leveler app to measure exactly how many degrees the saddle is set to. Let me know if you DO start to slide down and I'll help you fine tune your saddle position.<br /><br />http://eatsleeptrainsmart.blogspot.com/2012/04/must-have-apps-leveler-angle-finder-for.htmlVincent @ ESTrainSmart Bloghttp://eatsleeptrainsmart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088161042520192551.post-1777696876455918232012-08-17T09:45:02.600-07:002012-08-17T09:45:02.600-07:00Do you recommend tilting the saddle forward to hel...Do you recommend tilting the saddle forward to help improve posture? I have been trying to maintain a flat back by rolling my hips forward but find it difficult, perhaps in part due to a level saddle.<br />DaleDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965627917766252437noreply@blogger.com
