Motocross Training & Rowing

In motocross, athletes are always looking for a new and better way to train. The tried and true method for cross-training in MX has always been running: it’s convenient, portable, and easy to do. But for many, all that pounding is hard on the knees and shins.

The Concept2 Indoor Rower is a great cross-training tool for MX. Using the indoor rower provides both upper and lower body conditioning while working the cardiovascular system. Incorporating total body movements with intense cardio action, combined with portability and ease of use, the Concept2 Indoor Rower is a great piece of equipment that all MX athletes should have.

Rowing already has firm roots planted in other forms of motosport like the Indy Racing League and Nextel Cup Circuit and is a fixture in gyms throughout the country. So, what are you waiting for?

Motocross to Off-Road: The Best Train on Concept2

“My concept is simple: I respect time, and if I can give my riders an advantage by putting them on a piece of equipment that is the best time spent to get their bodies into top form, I want that piece of equipment! That is why I use the Concept2. It is honestly the best replication of racing a dirt bike, and it allows us to train hard while maximizing time efficiently!” —Steve Hatch
