Does riding my 2005 cbr 600 give me some kind of workout?

Question

Im wondering if riding my bike more will help me with exercise. I Have a honda, 2005 cbr600. For example, Controlling the handling takes up strength in my arms and chest. (i think) And when riding fast on the freeway, I put my weight on my stomach against the gas tank. Is it Possible? Will it help me workout any part of my body? either, chest, arms, back, or abs?

Answer 1

Anything physical gives you exercise of some sort or other.  You would not be exercising every muscle but would certainly get a workout depending upon how long you ride for.  

Why not combine a workout routine with riding your bike and you may find it helps with the riding as you will be fitter.

Answer 2

your tensioning your body trying to hang on its like flexing your muscles but yeah it is a little workout you get used to rideing you will become more relaxed and it will go away though

Answer 3

So you're looking for a reason to quit the gym huh??? I don't think riding the CBR is going to do much for your physique.

Answer 4

I've been riding for years and it does give your arms a serious workout and makes them stronger but for your back it puts strain on it because of the position your sitting in especially if you ride for hours at a time. It does work out your other area but probably not a whole lot where you would see improvement though...happy riding and be safe.
