The wind pressure experienced while riding a motorcycle at high speeds is remarkable! The neck is put under stress from riding under the cowl for long periods.

If you ride with your head bent forward for a long period, your shoulders will be stiff by the time you finish.

The back will be fatigued as it is susceptible to stress due to wind pressure, acceleration and deceleration, and bumps in the road.

The arms, shoulders, back, and lower back are susceptible to fatigue as they are used to resist G-force resulting from sudden acceleration and deceleration.

Fatigue accumulates in the neck as is supports the weight of the helmet, in the shoulders from holding the handle and using the brakes and throttle, and in the lower back from keeping your balance.

Blood circulation worsens and our body stiffens when we keep the same posture. Besides, it is easy to feel tired when blood circulates badly. Fatigue substances can be removed and fresh blood can be transferred to tired spots by improving blood circulation. In other words, instead of taking a break, we should "move our body actively" especially the parts where we feel tired. Blood circulation removes tiredness.

We make use of our whole body when riding a motorcycle. Since we operate the motorcycle by keeping our balance with our whole body, and endure wind pressure and vibrations emitted from the engine, the neck, shoulders, and the back are stressed. These exercises work the body parts we frequently use and thus are stressed easily when riding a motorcycle. It helps to stretch those parts, as well as train up weak and unused muscles for "a body that doesn't tire out so fast".

Hip joint, iliopsoas muscle, and adductor

Loosen your waist and back, which are hardly used when riding and tend to become stiff.
Lower your hip and twist slowly. It adds no sudden stress to your waist, which has a refreshing effect.

01: Spread your legs wide apart and lower your hip.

02: Put both hands on your knees, move your shoulder forward and turn your upper body to the right, and count for 5 seconds.

03: Do the same for the left side and count for 5 seconds.

04: Repeat for both left and right sides one more time.

Adductor

The thighs are locked on both sides of the motorcycle when riding,
and as a result they tend to become stiff as they don’t get stretched much. Lower your hip and spread your legs widely to refresh.
