I am sore today from riding yesterday. Mainly forearms, hands, shoulders, and neck. My legs, back, and stomache aren't so bad. Stand upos will kill your abs when you are learning and falling off. It si the getting back on that works the abs. This is like the 4th or 5th ride of the year but they were all spread out. A few rides each week and I should be used to it. on top of the muscle soreness, my legs got sun burnt. I guess when I put on sun screen I should have covered them too...

Those damn 0 degree bars and YZ's finger throttle point up towards the sky always give me arm pump. When I had my stand up, I had 4 degree extended bars. Those 0 degree narrow bars just don't cut it for me.

I am active and work out at least three times a week, but I am sure I will still be sore the first couple times out. You just use muscles that usually don't get used. I can't wait though!

I've noticed that riding my X2 makes my upper body sore, while riding the RN makes my legs (and knees) sore. Granted, I do carve more on the X2 and stab/sub/slash more on the RN. I try to crosstrain, road bike, mountain bike, walking, go to the gym.

actually running will help increase the mass of the muscle mitochondria, letting you burn more lactic acid and allowing the muscles to work longer and harder.

The more intense training, the more additional proteins that help absorb and convert lactic acid to energy.

It is all about V02max- or a person maximum oxygen consumption.

so after driving home (which is your rest) you need to go for a brisk walk (active and passive recovery need to be utilized together to decrease lactic acid levels while promoting maximum glycogen resynthesis) then eat a high carbo meal to replace the glycogen stores which were depleted from activity.

I think my two biggest sores are stomach and back...everything else learns to cope with riding after the first few times out.

Back because I'm always hunched over with a shortened pole and stomach because I occasionally give it too much gas while trying to pull my legs up to the tray. Oh well...

My legs don't get sore but the first time or first couple (depends how hard I ride) my knee area gets weak, and sometimes even shaky... from holding them in the same spot and maintaining up/down force on them over and over.

good god:Eyecrazy:

i say just ride more and stretch maybe before riding, but if you are not hurting some you didn't ride hard enough. especially inthe early season:bananalama:
