As a new rider myself and being an avid gym enthusiast I can say for certain riding is tiring! After a 40 minute ride to work my first few times out I was tired as hell, my calves and quads were sore and my chest and shoulders felt it, it takes a bit of endurance and strength to ride until you're used to it, great video!
I don't know. Sounds like your bike doesn't fit you at all. What are you riding, some goofy harley with ape hangers and forward controls? Maybe a crotch rocket with clip ons? I ride for hundreds of miles and never have calf, quad, chest or shoulder pain. Just my butt.
Hey Kat!! We were just in Atlanta with another great group of coaches. (the weather was bad though, cold and rainy on Fri and Sat. Sun we had a good turnout) Hopefully I will see you at another event someday :)
@@moniquefilips1000 I really hope we meet up again some day. Loved spending time with you and the whole team! Glad we gave you better weather for the fun but I'm glad folks were there to make it a good event. Take good care of yourself!
First time on the back of a bike in 30 years and my hips and hip flexors were in agony, I'm worried for when I take my test if my hip area will need strength work, any advice?
Sounds like your hip flexors were working too hard. You need to work on your glutes!! As we get older that gets weaker (especially glute medius) and our hip flexors get tighter. I would recommend Pilates. It really helps balance us out. Until then standing hip extension, supine hip ext, and stretch the front of your hip and quad.
Thank you very much for this video! It was just what I was looking for to prepare for a long dual sport ride I have coming up.
A good collection of exercises with no/minimal equipment. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

This is very useful, thank you.
At age 75 I just bought road bike. A BMW r850r. I reckon I can do with some exercising. Thanks for the tips.
Some good exercises for those that need to get a little more fit.
ThaaaaNx M (in advance)
Monique! We met at DTR in Texas when I coached there. Great to see you here :-) Thanks for the video!

@@moniquefilips1000 Great stuff, will add those to my routine, thanks so much!
You deserve way more likes. Good common sense advice.
How often would you do this workout? Once a week or twice or more?
I would recommend 2-3 times per week if you are not doing too much other exercises
