Tough, strong, rock the throttle, mile eater who goes with the flow. I often wonder why there are so many horrifically overweight people who ride motorcycles. How did they let their bodies become prisoners to poor eating habits? If we’re supposed to be all about freedom in life and on the open road, how did we let our poor food consumption imprison us? Most of you know that I’m on a mission to help my fellow motorcyclists experience true freedom with health and fitness. Heart healthy, muscle integrity, mindful experiences with food.
I see bikers waddling down the streets of Sturgis and Daytona and all kinds of rallies looking tired and lithless, completely out of shape, huffing and puffing, no smiles. I see folks consume mass amounts of alcohol and eat fried shit food and then I see them struggle to throw their leg over the saddle. If the mind is cloudy and tired from poor eating how can one go the distance?
Being a prisoner to crappy food choices leads to all kinds of horrible medical challenges. Diabetes and heart disease are right there at the top of the line. It’s sad because in this day and age of so much nutritional info how in the world can it be ignored that poor eating habits and lack of exercise leads to poor fitness and health.
Folks boast about their beautiful motorcycles and the trips taken and so forth. Attitudes are worn on the face and strides that match suggest being bad to the bone. But really how bad to the bone can one be and what kind of real confidence is that if the body is left to just rot and get fat from poor food choices and lack of exercise. Boasting about great eating habits and a workout that just kicked ass and now that 2,000 mile camping trip on the bike becomes a light load.
To be in control of our lives and show that we are on a quest for freedom and living by our own rules and owning our road is to be in control of our eating habits and our fitness will power! WILL POWER to live life to the fullest. Why give away freedom due to a loss of food consumption control and choices, and will power to exercise which leads to an imprisonment of health challenges.
Eating right and exercise leads to more time in the saddle and many more enjoyable moments on that motorcycle. Your mind and body is feeling at its best and you just want to go the distance in everything that you do. The couch is no longer the place to hang out, rather, you want to experience life more passionately and deeply and not miss a moment from being lazy and physically unable.
With all the beautiful folks out there suffering from ailments like cancer and muscular dystrophies and other dibilitating diseases that are really beyond their control, why wouldn’t we want to be examples of adoring our health and marveling in the miracle of our physical body and thus wanting to keep our physical beings in prime shape.
You wouldn’t want to feed your bike shitty fuel, so why feed your body shitty fuel? You don’t want to let your bike just sit, you want to get it out there and gallop the ribbons of highway. Get your body up and revving. Experience the miracle of you.
Keep on keepin on, my darlings. Desire to go the distance in life and on the bike. It’s all about premium fuel for the body and feeding your mind great thoughts.
