I used to really enjoy standing up pedaling on my upright for extended periods. It feels like “running on air”, nice for a former runner.I got out of the habit when my back was acting up, and would only occasionally stand for a “butt break”. But my back has been doing a lot better lately and I’m doing the exercises from the McGill book regularly. So I’ve been trying to ramp up my stand-up pedaling. Last weekend I was able to stand for over an hour straight with no problems. It’s great to have this ability back. I am also able to easily walk for 30 minutes or more. So as long as I can avoid doing anything else to mess my back up…
