Longevity for dirt bike riders

[swazi_matt]

I intend to be riding dirt bikes with my grandchildren (my children are 2 and 6 so still a while for that) and to do that I know I will need to keep my body healthy so the idea behind this thread is to find out what things to look out for, what regular excercises are required to keep your body balanced and what sort of vitamins/supplements we should be taking. I am talking preventative measures rather than rehab. Things that are easy to make into a lifestyle not talking about becoming a fitness freak and spending 3hrs in the gym - if I do not have time for cardio fitness I will just ride easier

To kick this off the one thing I am seriously considering are the twisted eng/flexx bars to reduce stresses on my wrists I will also be taking up yoga again (but this is general conditioning and not bike specific)
