Cycling-Related Strength & Conditioning

Any thoughts on why stretching is often the most difficult part of an exercise regime to stick to consistently? It's not cos it's boring as far as I'm concerned I think it's something about it not providing much in the way of immediate feedback in terms of how effective it is being...or something? I dunno but it's something I find myself and lots of other people I've spoken to struggling to stick to doing after every session.

You dont need to do much stretching at all with a suitable exercise programme, unless you have specific mobility issues preventing you from doing the exercises.

If by exercise you mean cycling, then I see what you mean. But if your are talking about the gym, then the actual movements, like full squats, deadlifts, push ups, pull ups etc

Will help improve and maintain full ROM mobility. The occasional light stretch when you feel a bit stiff is all you need.
