i circuit train hiting all the muscle groups each day. try to w/o 4-5 times a week. change up your w/o every month or so. light weight, ton of reps. you dont want to bulk up riding bikes. also lots of cardio. also search online to find exercise to w/o muscle used for riding. i grabed a book about exercises for motocross this past winter and it did help start the yr off with better endurance.

my trainer puts togethor crossfit type exercises for me
I have found that it has helped my riding a ton. I can do an hour stint without too much difficulty as long as its not 90+ degrees out. Then the heat really affects me more than anything.
I also try to get out and mountain bike about 10 miles twice a week.
The best way to get rid of rider fatigue is to ride more though. The best thing for my riding endurance ever was when I started indoor supermoto 4 years ago. It helped me more than anything!

I don't have anything funny to say. Sorry. :dunno:
Cycle at least three times a week for 30 minutes+. Lately I've been using the cycle machine at the gym a lot. Weights mostly on the machines covering all areas, though I concentrate on legs and core more than upper body. Quad presses and that one where you squeeze have really helped. At home I do position holds like the chair sit against a wall, which is great for knee strength, and also planks/side planks. And lots of stretching.
Not that you could tell any of this to look at me.
