3 Reasons to Get on a Bike Right Now!
1) It's Good For Your Body.
The
Center for Disease Control recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity every week or 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic exercise per week. Either option can easily be accomplished by hopping on your bike and pedaling. This will be much more enjoyable than a treadmill or a heart attack.
2) It's Good for Your Mind.
The article
Exercise for Mental Health claims that aerobic exercises have been proven to fight anxiety and depression; mainly by increasing blood flow to the brain and by influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis... Whatever that means... Just know that it is good for you!
3) It's Good for the Earth.
Riding a bike instead of driving a car reduces emissions, reduces traffic, reduces noise pollution, and puts out good vibes; all things that make Mother Earth happy!
