IS YOUR CHILD INTERESTED IN MOTORCYCLING?
TOP 5 HEALTHY LIFE HACKS To Have an Awesome Morning Getting your day started with coffee isn't always enough. Sometimes, you need to give yourself an extra boost, especially when you have little energy or trouble focusing. For an awesome start to your day, here are five tips to get you going right off the bat. WAKE UP 5 MINUTES EARLY. What’s the power of five minutes? It can be more than you think. Spend this time doing simple breathing exercises or a quick meditation so you can get focused for the rest of the day. If that’s not your style, you can prepare a quick to-do list for your day ahead. Either way, it’s always nice to have a little extra time for yourself without losing too much sleep. START WITH GREEN TEA, THEN COFFEE. A cup of coffee at 7 a.m. can leave you burned out by 10 a.m. Try swapping it with green tea for a more gentle wake-up call. After that, you can brew your favorite coffee to keep you going strong. This practice also might help you consume less caffeine overall! TAKE A QUICK MORNING WALK — AND HAVE YOUR MEETINGS ON THE GO. Morning meetings can make us want to fall asleep again. Don’t spend all of them sitting down if you don’t have to! Not only will morning walks help you wake up, but they can also add some extra physical activity to your day. WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL. Who says you have to journal at the end of the day when you’re tired and ready to sleep? You can journal in the morning about what happened yesterday and the things you’re looking forward to that day. Journaling can remind you of your daily goals and motivate you to stick to your commitments. PACK YOUR LUNCH (OR SNACKS!). Staying on track with your goals starts with having the energy to do them. Plan a healthy balance of fats, vegetables, carbohydrates, and proteins. This can be as simple as assembling dips, carrots, wraps, and salads each morning.
Here’s the Safest Way for Them to Learn
Don’t wait until your child hops on the back of someone’s bike at a party — if they are really serious about learning how to ride a motorcycle and you’re worried about their safety, there’s no better way to learn than professional lessons. And, with the Ride Safe Indiana (RSI) program, you can get free motorcycling courses with motorcycles provided for students. The RSI’s Entry Level Motorcycle Safety Course is specifically designed for beginning riders of all ages, and the curriculum meets the standards established by the BMV. Students will spend 5 hours of classroom instruction to prepare for 10 hours of practical riding exercises in a controlled, off-street environment. Motorcycles are provided 100% free to students during the course.
There’s also a lot more to motorcycle safety than learning basic navigation. Instructors will also teach students about:
•
Types of motorcycles
•
Layout and operation of the basic controls
• Types of safety gear worn for protection and comfort
• How alcohol and other drugs impair a rider's ability
Once students are familiar with these things, they’ll be able to start off with straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning. Students will eventually progress to swerving and emergency braking. At the end of the course, there’s a written exam and a riding-skill evaluation to determine how ready students are for the BMV test. However, if students would like to learn more, there’s also an advanced learning course they can take. Aside from education on how their bike works and the proper riding gear, there’s one more thing that no rider should start biking on the road without. At Sevenish Law Firm — as the official firm of the Lawyer Who Rides™ — we can’t fully convey the importance of having proper motorcycling insurance coverage. If you ever have questions about the right coverage for you, give us a call. All new riders should be informed about how having good insurance can protect you, your family, and your future.
It’s time to try these tactics to jump-start your day!
