Keep in mind these exercises will cause sore muscles, the ones you haven't been using.
This actually helps a lot. While trying to focus on how I thought I was supposed to be doing it I was definitely using muscles not used to peddling with and got tired pretty quick in the legs. I just thought it was because of poor form. Maybe I was actually doing it correctly at that point. I can see where this will take some time to get used to and let these muscles catch back up to the rest. Gonna really be wore out after rides for a while.
Thanks for the help.
