FlyboyEUC Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I barely remember when I hit 1000 miles. I'm approaching 4000 now. Trying to hit 4000 miles in my first year of riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since EUCs get you from door to door, it follows one must be ever vigilant to minimal amounts of exercise, exercise that one incidentally gets from even minor walks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sacristan Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Ninebot One E+. One year. 1300km MSX. 7 months. 4700km. Onewheel+ XR (sold). 9 months. 1500km. Electric longboard. 1 year. Over 1000km. Carbon fiber sweet baby jesus beautiful mountainbike. 22km this year. Time to get rid of it. I have also done a few thousand back squats, front squats, overhead squats, shrimp squats, one legged squats, lunges and taken some Zumba classes. I could always fool myself into thinking that riding an EUC is exercise just as easily as I could fool myself into thinking that doing chest flyes for high reps with toilet rolls in my hands would give me chest development. Riding an EUC and doing leg exercises do however have interfering effects towards one another because of fatigue. Yesterday I did a pretty brutal leg workout and I was dying going off road and uphill today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing how much more solid my riding feels a couple days after some heavy barbell squats and deadlifts. It’s getting longer and longer between workouts though >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working out used to be my way of finding peace. Now it's the wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atdlzpae Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Really? I find riding about as tiring as walking slowly. And some specific muscles (dorsal, calf, leg straightening) Gotway stronger. At least compared to my previous "computer all day" past. A real problem is that the wheel is way more convenient than a car, and so my visits to McDonalds got more frequent...

I've been monitoring my heart rate for the last year and a half and when I ride my heart rate is around 75. Resting heart rate is 55. Walking is more like 113. When I would bike, my heart rate was around 175. Now my heart rate only goes up if a car gets too close, or if I'm off-roading. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha... I happen to work next door to a McDonalds, so having an EUC has resulted in a reduction of my visits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Kim Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 First few times out on longer rides, I was also sore. Considering I did 40 miles a day standing when I was new (67 miles in a day was my max), but nowadays I have almost no pain. Balls of my feet get a little sore, but that'll pass.
