Lake BikeFest 2017 is September 13-17! It's literally less than a month away now and we can't wait for all of the motorcycle enthusiasts to rumble their way to the Lake of the Ozarks. As Lake BikeFest 2017 is the largest motorcycle event at the Lake of the Ozarks, we would like to point out that National Motorcycle Week is this week! In honor of this week, Lake BikeFest 2017 would like to give you 5 possible health benefits of motorcycle riding.
5 Health Benefits of Motorcycle Riding
1. Burns Calories
Riding a motorcycle requires upper and lower body strength to keep the motorcycle upright, steer it, push it backward and even maneuver it through different types of terrain. The number of calories you burn while riding a motorcycle depends on many things, such as how heavy your motorcycle and motorcycle gear is. The heavier they are, the more calories you can burn. You could possibly burn 179 calories per hour while riding a motorcycle, depending on the weight of the gear and bike.2. Improves Mental Outlook
In terms of health, people can get too caught up in the physical aspects, while they are important, your mental health is as well. Riding a motorcycle can make you happy, which can boost your endorphins, overall improving your mental outlook.3. Improves Core Strength and Stability
You have to work to keep yourself upright while riding a motorcycle. Doing this can work your core and improve your balance.4. Can Build Stronger Knees and Thighs
People who have knee of thigh issues can find that riding a motorcycle can be a type of physical therapy. Riding requires you to use your knees and thighs, but without straining them too much. Over time, you can build your muscle while eliminating pains.5. Can Build Neck Strength
Motorcycle riding can improve your overall neck strength and posture. Just make sure your motorcycle is fitted to you and adjusted correctly. Straining your neck can harm it in the long run and could do damage to your body.
