No matter who you are or what you do, stress is bound to catch you from time to time. Sometimes, it’s a part of everyday life. The health consequences of that stress can be severe, which makes blowing off some steam a legitimate way to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Some people run, do yoga, or meditate to relieve severe stress. Few people who don’t already ride, however, likely think of motorcycles when it comes to relaxation. But recent research study conducted by Dr. Don Vaughn and his team at the University of California–Los Angeles provide evidence that riding a motorcycle reduces stress, and increases focus, alertness, heart rate, and adrenaline.
