Product Description
Product Description
With millions of participants worldwide, motocross and off-road motorcycle riding are the most popular amateur motorsports in the world--and, many agree, the most physically demanding. For a sport that asks so much of so many, a training manual is a must--and this one is the very first to make the necessary know-how accessible to the amateur rider. While providing sound advice for the would-be Ricky Carmichael of tomorrow, this handbook offers a no-nonsense, real-world approach that the average racer or rider can understand--and turn into real results. Among the topics the book covers are: weight training and proper nutrition in a fast-food world; age-specific training programs; gear; scheduling; staying hydrated, healthy, and injury-free: keeping a log; cross-training; balance, reflexes, and flexibility--and how to improve all three; race-day warm-ups and stretches; arm pump and how to train it out of your system; taking it to the next level--for the would-be pro riders; trainers, gyms, online, and published guidance; and staying motivated and avoiding burnout.

Format:Paperback
This book reviews generic fitness techniques that don't necessarily relate to motocross. Why the specific techniques were chosen and introduced in the sequence they are is unclear. One chapter on push ups, sit ups, jumping rope, squats. One chapter on eating more healthy food. One chapter on jogging. One chapter on working out with weights. One chapter on "training toys" like power putty. Different chapters touching on self motivation: "train yourself while doing something else. Work out in front of the TV" "The only person who can design a training plan that will work for you is you".
The book has a few motocross pictures, but none of the content relates to them. There is absolutely nothing on riding techniques.

Cover misleading, gives the impression of MX riding techniques - I bought on impulse, big mistake! Should be titled Motocross fitness training and have a pic of a gym on the cover. The fitness training information is very good though so it's useful to have. DO NOT IMPULSE BUY!
