GOOD for Your CORE ?

I agree, the unicyclist core is working while riding. More so with
trials and muni, etc. Still, I would like to know where the majority
of our balance comes from.

Just riding the uni around:


- Are you balancing more with your legs & feet?
- Or are you balancing more with your core?



Thanks, Bill.


Just riding around, I think the balance is with your (my) legs.

I, too, have had "core" comments but I don't feel any core muscle
strain. Maybe Grandmaster 2T's admonition to "relax" has worked.

I do hear this occationally but nowhere near as often as "Where's the
other wheel!" About a 10:1 ratio

When I was learning after practicing for an hour it felt like I had
done 500 crunches (which I have done before over an hours time). Also
after my first muni ride my obliques were sore.

I have noticed benefits from doing extra core strengthening exersises.
When I've been doing my half hour routine, I can ride faster, smoother
over rough terrain for longer with fewer and safer UPD's.

He said at speed (fast). Sure at slow speed or tecknical terrain it
would be tough.
