And that is the reason you need to do another type of exercise to get fit for karting. Lifting, riding bikes, etc.
I respectfully disagree, it’s actually quite physically demanding. Between the G forces and being thrown around on a bed frame with an engine, you’re wiped out after a 20 lap session. In my experience, the faster, the kart, the more physically demanding things are. A 125 shifter kart will wipe you out. I’m not talking about the electric karts at an indoor place but instead, a real outdoor kart track with grip on soft tires. When you are reviewing the x-rays of stoney’s ribs, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
@stoney do they run shifter karts at your track? If so, talk somebody into letting you take a few laps. I wouldn’t recommend starting racing in one though (my dumb ass made that mistake and I ended up going back to what I should’ve started with initially).
Made it to the gym! Felt good after not doing much all day. Back on the couch again though.
Wife forgot to tell me about a conference she was running Saturday, so instead of riding perfect dirt in perfect weather I policed a toddler from 5A to 7P. Today it’s pouring so no ride, but at least I got dragged to target to buy Christmas shit. I have Christmas shit.
Looking at the radio for the afternoon, looks to be about beer o’clock, not going to be doing anything else today

Looks like Meeker.
I think that’s what it was. There was a sign with that name and a church by the roadside turnout.
so awesome, just got back from my ride. This was the first time since my work vehicle got rear ended my a semi 13 months ago that I have had full range of neck motion while on my bike. So nice to be able to look over my shoulder to check traffic.
Went for a short hike with the girlfriend and the doggo.
This spot would be nice for biking, if not for the threatening paper put up by the conservation people, which went something "any activities performed on these trails that aren't in the list above will be charged with trespassing yadda yadda yadda...".

Sharpening the top of the discs to help getting in and out of the caliper is a great idea.
He’s talking about doing one or two sessions per week. As his only activity.
And yes, I get it’ll be tough on one’s neck and upper body from g forces and that’ll wear you out, but that’s similarly not cardio.
weak heart, strong neck and grip. not a winning combination.
I was planning on starting 206 heavy's. Haley's on a 206 FA and I want to keep it same general platform.
How much cardio do I do now? None. How much physical activity in general? None. And you are really under rating how hard the cardiovascular work is.
And this is why you should be biking. Or e-biking. Or hiking. Or skiing.
But not wasting every free weekend on carts.
IMO.
Drop point, Insignio or tanto?LMK if interested in a large virgin Sebenza in S45VN.
Drop Point Sebenza 31 with Black Canvas Micarta Inlay. Lovely knife, but I will never not carry either the Norseman or the small Inkosi.
Should. A lot of it is prep - being ready the day prior. My parent's are getting her an extra set of wheels, so I don't have to swap tires on race day. I would likely do the same for myself. Weight requirements are consistent, so you shouldn't be off more than a few pounds, so that's just swapping a weight (1 or 2 bolts). Then fuel, of course.
The stuff like gearing should be determined the day prior in practice. Maintenance, etc all done prior. It's no different than a bike race. The only thing that will get you is damage. But if the damage is bad enough that it's not a quick fix, I can't fix it on the spot anyways.
if that's what counts as exercise there's a lot of other "activities" that would count
dude, arguing that karting isn't "exercise" while admitting that your version of "exercise" barely meets the minimum technical definition of "exercise" isn't the flex you think it is.
I realize that it's hard to keep concepts straight for you so I'll lay it out
1) Stoney doing 2 karting sessions per week holding his head and upper body straight in 1.5g is not exercise in any conventional sense, although he will have a sore neck.
2) Me doing 9 hours per week of sub-LT1 aerobic exercise is indeed exercise in the conventional sense.
If you like to pound away on the pedals at 180 bpm on your flat trails and bathe in lactate then more power to you.
