Top Reasons Why You
should not Quit Mountain Biking
Not because you hit a wall or crashed 20 feet down the
cliff, it doesn't mean that you can hang your bike in the
garage and watch television all day. Mountain biking, in the
first place, should be fun. And some accidents, while often
humiliating or painful, are just part of the sport. You
probably have several personal reasons to quit. Instead of
entertaining these negative thoughts, why not ask yourself, why
should I not quit? Here's why…
Because Some Jerks Expect You to Quit
Your neighbors or probably even your friend will just roll
their eyes if you tell them you have started mountain biking.
They might say, "You are just wasting your time because you
will quit anyway." If stirring skepticism is all that you
create, why not put it in a positive way. Whenever you feel
like quitting, remember all these people who do not believe
that you can stay on your bike. Prove them wrong.
It Makes You Feel Good About Yourself
You might have seen some changes in your body after just
weeks of regular mountain biking. What more if you maintain it
for several months?
When you ride, you burn lots of calories that should have
turned into fat if you did not decide to get moving. Riding
helps you keep in shape. And if you are in shape, you start to
feel good about yourself, which can be reflected to the way you
act, communicate and relate with others.
Also, you are often judged as a person through physical
appearance. If you look good, many will think of you as
trustworthy and smart. If you are fat, you may be labeled as
dumb, lazy and untrustworthy. This is not morally right but it
is true; and many studies have testified to it.
It makes you feel better when you bump to an old friend
Isn't it nice to bump to an old friend from high school looking
chiseled and fit? Isn't it great to attend a reunion and become
the center of talk because you have lost a lot of weight?
Losing weight may be the reason why you started mountain
biking, looking good is a bonus.
Mountain Biking is Fun
Fun can be defined in many ways. Being able to improve your
endurance, breathe fresh air, challenge yourself, learn new
skill, see new places, meet new people and stay in shape are
some of those. Mountain biking allows you to enjoy them all at
the same time.
The Beach Season
Can you still remember the last time you have taken your
shirt off and put on a swimwear? Or, have you done it?
Confidently? If you love the beach or planning to go to the
beach this summer, wouldn't it be nice if you can show off how
good your body looks? Mountain biking, although it may not be
able to give you those big muscles, will certainly keep those
fats off and help achieve a trimmed body.
The Opposite Sex
For some strange reasons, human beings still posses some
attitudes of animals even if we claim that we are the superior
kind. We still have the idea that if we look good and look
strong, we attract the opposite sex. But is it true. Good
looking people get more attention; and you have to admit that
you want to belong in this small, lucky group.
