Kranking does not translate into an outdoor activity like cycling, so why would I spend time doing it?
A. Kranking competes with nothing, yet compliments everything. There are many ways that Kranking will benefit any activity that you choose to do. To use cycling as an example: • Kranking provides retrograde (reverse rotational) training to help correct shoulder protraction (rounded shoulders) common in many cyclists, which frequently leads to neck, shoulder and back d iscomfort and injury and causes increased fatigue due to greater muscle tension. • Kranking provides core and upper-body strength training, which will improve your bike handling and mechanical endurance for long rides. • Kranking will improve your upper-body cardiovascular fitness, enabling you to increase your weekly level of cardiac output and calorie burning by strengthening alternative muscles. • Kranking will enable you to continue to train as you are recovering from, or tapering for, an event. • Kranking will enable you to continue to train at a high level if you become injured.
