Riding a motorcycle can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also take its toll on your body.  One of the most common complaints among riders is soreness in the buttocks after long rides. To alleviate this discomfort, strengthening your buttocks muscles is key. Here are some exercises you can do to help: 1. Squats: Squats are one of the best exercises for targeting your glutes and quads. Start with a light weight, and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement. 2. Lunges: Another great exercise for strengthening your glutes is lunges. Start with both feet forward, then step back into a lunge position with one foot at a time before pushing back up to starting position. 3. Glute Bridges: Lay on your back and bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Push up through your heels until you form a bridge with your torso, then lower back down slowly while focusing on contracting your glutes. 4. Step Ups: Step ups target both legs equally and help to strengthen both sides evenly. All you need is a step or bench to get started! 5. Clamshells: Clamshells involve lying on one side and lifting one knee towards the ceiling while keeping the other leg still on the ground. This helps to activate those hard-to-reach muscles deep in the hips and buttocks region. Strengthening these muscles will not only reduce soreness after long rides, but it will also improve overall stability when riding which can help prevent injuries from occurring in the first place!  Exercise doesn’t have to be boring; try adding some of these moves into your regular routine for maximum benefit and enjoy pain free riding!
