Fit! Next to impossible to properly fit a Wal-Mart bike.
Sorry, that's an automated response. A lot of people don't realize the importance of core strength when cycling (particularly mountain biking and anytime you are out of the saddle.) I do bicycle crunches to build but most motion (twisiting) core workouts should help.
