I recently began focusing on technique while riding and realize my hips are quite weak - particularly on the up-stroke. Thanks. _________________ I only train on days that end with "y".

Single leg squats are good. _________________ "Physiology is all just propaganda and lies... all waiting to be disproven by the next study."

To push you to your limits let you rest a 10 minutes, then push you more.Single leg squats are good.Never quit do more, every week you will feel good, and your body will be the best it has ever been. _________________ San mateo Fitness

I strongly suggest start with body weight (gravity is harder than most give it credit) to perfect the form and improve flexibility. I also complete a Yoga course 2-3 per week, which helps everything.
