Scooting Around Town: The Ideal Practical Fun

If scooters are cool enough for Hugh Jackman, they’re definitely cool enough for anybody. If you thought riding a scooter would interfere with your manliness, just do yourself a favour and look at the mighty Wolverine scooting in style. And why wouldn’t he? Scooters are a great fun, they’re extremely healthy and you can scoot without putting any significant efforts in the activity.

They’re especially good for those who have a sedentary job and barely get any exercise. Jogging can be good for your health, but it’s not all that fun. A scooter however, will make you enjoy burning calories. This makes it not only an appealing way of transportation and exercise for all the Wolverines out there, but for all the Wonder Women who want to incorporate some exercise into their daily routine as well.

In Australia scooters have become a new phenomenon of the female fitstyle. A lot of fitness experts are also full of praise, saying that scooting has more benefits to the human body than cycling or jogging. While scooting, most muscle groups are working, especially the ones that shape the buttocks, thighs, calves and belly, and it’s also a great assistant in losing weight. Add to all this the fact that they’re extremely fun, and you have the perfect means of transportation.

According to some calorie charts, with a one minute scooter ride at an approximate speed of 20 km/hour, you burn 0.75 kJ per 1 kg of weight. While cycling at the same speed for a full minute, you’ll lose 0.45 kJs. So if you want to burn the same amount of calories, you’d have to cycle at around 30-35 km/hour. Furthermore, in terms of energy consuming, scooting equals fast swimming or brisk running. You burn roughly ¼ more joules than you do during judo training, zumba dancing or aerobics.

Besides for personal health reasons, scooting is an environmentally healthy method of transportation. You can reach short destinations much faster than you would do by car, and you have basically no risk of ripping off your clothes, which is a common mishap when riding bicycles.

Bottom line is, if you’re afraid of how you look while riding a scooter – don’t be. Scooters are stylish, and more and more people are accepting that as a fact as of lately. In Australia scooters have become one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly way of transport and exercise for many modern men and women alike, and it seems that this trend is here to stay for many years to come!
