Top Reasons to Choose Biking as an Exercise


Randy Eastburg became the owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas in 2010. Since then he has grown the business from a small residential roofing company to a commercial and residential construction company with over 10 million dollars in sales. When he has free time, Randy Eastburg enjoys bike riding as a primary means of exercise. Here are some of the top reasons to choose biking as exercise.

1. Biking works all lower body muscles, building lean muscle mass from the ankles to the lower back. Abdominal muscles are also strengthened from balancing the bike, which improves posture and other aspects of upper body strength.

2. Besides the physical benefits, biking can spark neurons in the brain that sharpen thinking. The brain's ability to concentrate and recall information is enhanced since neurotransmitters in the brain are able to communicate more effectively.

3. Biking in neighborhoods has become easier since local governments in recent years have created more bike parking and biking paths and lanes. Designated bike lanes have increased the safety of biking on busy roads, encouraging more people to use their bikes and making the activity more commonplace.
