If your hips, ankles, and wrists are tight, your body cannot absorb the bike's movement, and you will end up fighting your own machine instead of riding it. My drills focus on unlocking that range of motion so you can move naturally on the bike without feeling stiff or fatigued after just a few laps. Most riders think track days are just about the bike's setup. They spend money on exhausts and tires but ignore the most critical component: the rider. Your core is your anchor. When you lean, brake, or transition, it is your midsection that keeps you stable. If your core is weak, you end up gripping the handlebars too tight, causing arm pump and making your steering inputs erratic. I see riders struggle to get a knee down not because they lack skill, but because their hips are locked up. My mobility routines are designed to open up your ankles, hips, and shoulders. When your joints move freely, you can shift your weight instinctively. Riding requires high intensity bursts of effort. CrossFit style training helps you maintain that focus even when your heart rate is redlining. It is not about getting bulky. It is about having the cardiovascular efficiency to stay sharp for the entire session. You do not need a gym full of equipment. Start with 15 minutes of these drills daily. Whether you are commuting in Bangalore traffic or pushing for a personal best at Coimbatore, these movements will reduce your recovery time and significantly lower your injury risk. ## About PRN Motorsport I am Anish Shetty.
