its true flexibility and strength in places you never knew you had. Ive noticed since ive stopped jiu jitsu i get sore/tired on the bike when i never did before.

I have never been more motivated to work out than after my first track day.

I was surprised by how physical the riding is.

I'm spending the winter focusing on Cardio as well as flexibility. With my hip issues I jsut wasn't able to get my knee out but I'm also incredibly inflexible....need to work on it.

Great thread!

A few years ago I was strength training so that I wouldn't get so tired and sore at my track days. It helped a lot. Now I'm lazy and just run. In the winter I will swim and weight train some more.

Otherwise I don't generally have a problem.
