Hips and skiing

[Hawk]

My lower back issues are caused by tight hamstrings. The seasons that I bike more the worse my back gets in the fall. Crazy I am in better shape those years but then my back hurts and I have to shut it down for a few weeks. Less issues when I am fat and out of shape

Ya I here you there Smelly. I still bike year round and I used to have issues with knee alignment and back. I had to do a very structured regime of hami and calf work to balance out my leg because my quads were so strong they were pulling my body out of alignment. Now I need to start work on my core and shoulders to get rid of that pain.

100% notice a difference when I stack on a post ride stretch class after I do a Peloton cycling class(es) - defintely is now a part of my post ride cool down process

The Peloton app has mobility classes I recently noticed. Haven't tried yet but put a few in my queue. That could help with my issues also.

Two years ago I suffered considerably after a couple hours skiing , similar to what you described. I have some low back degenerative issues but since I’ve accidentally discovered an exercise . Laying on my back on the floor using a barbell with roughly 30lbs . Lift the weight from my knees over my head to the floor keeping my arms straight up. Basically strengthening my lower back muscles, I’ve had no problems skiing since . I ski bumps a lot and pretty aggressively overall . I’m a good bit older than you , I’m not saying that this will work in your case but I had pretty serious pain that’s at least postponed for a while I hope.
