Since it seems the majority of Husaberg riders either ride hard or race. I was wondering how much time is spent to get into shape. And what type of training works best for you.
Also on the list should be cross training such as soccer or basketball, these are quite common methods of fitness maintenance. Also, I'm sure that many of us, myself included, ride mtn bikes (or road bikes) for training.
Cross Training select option 4
Your absolutely right!
Not sure how to add at this point.
Please select option 4. if you do any type of Cardio training combined with Weights and riding.

I do Tai-chi (the proper martial art form) and Qi-gong.
Stretch and limber up before jumping on but spend more time in psychological preparation, to get in the right state of mind, before getting out on circuit.
I also coach road racers in psychological performance and preparation - it seems often one of the areas most riders forget about, ignoring the fact that they can have control over it and the benefits it has on their performance.
Cheers,
Simon

Bergers,
Through the week its a 1 hour run as many evenings as I can. Right now its weeding, either with a hoe or chemicals using a knapsack spray pack. Being essentally desk bound at work means I HAVE to do something. On race day I rely on old age, 50+, cunning and endurance. Race day warmups are simple stretches and then practice/sighting laps taken steadily to suss out options
Although I selected 4 above, its no weights. My arms pump up at it is.

I find it interesting that I am the only guy that picked #3.
Why the adversion to weights?
I found the bike is much easier to control since I started working out last month. I lifted regularly in the 80's, then I stopped for 14 years. Now, I wish I hadn't stopped, but I'll get back in shape soon.
Edit:
Now I have company, one other guy picked #3. :wink:
