Explanation
Answer: A- ‘Rhythm Press’ refers to a technique in which participants bend at the hip to raise and lower the upper body in rhythm to the cadence. Rhythm press can be done is a seated position or, for more advanced spinners, a standing position. It is important to keep the hips above the saddle and, if done correctly, this is a good exercise to strengthen the core. It is done slowly in time to the cadence, usually using two pedal strokes for each part of the movement.
