A successful entrepreneur with nearly 20 years’ experience, Randy Eastburg launched his latest company, Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, in 2010. During his free time, Randy Eastburg enjoys hitting the open road on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Although motorcycle riding involves sitting for extended periods of time, it is actually a low-impact exercise that helps riders lose weight. Compared to driving a car, riding a motorcycle exerts much more physical strain on the body. Riders burn calories simply by controlling the gears and maintaining their balance. However, this activity becomes even more strenuous when riders fight against a headwind, as the body’s muscles naturally tense up to resist the opposing force. The accompanying adrenaline boost also speeds up the rider’s heart rate, pushing it to levels comparable to those generated by an intense workout.
Motorcycle riding tones muscles as well. Steering heavy bikes, particularly at slow speeds, strengthens core and thigh muscles. It can also prevent knee problems since strong thigh muscles tend to stabilize the patella.
