A Bit of Science About Our Mood

Our mood is regulated by a number of hormones in our body – sometimes known as ‘happy hormones’. They include serotonin, endorphins and dopamine. Exercise (such as scooting) is proven to increase all of them – with some surprising benefits.

Mood Boosting
Exercise has a direct effect on our mood – helping us feel positive and energised

Sleep Enhancing
Exercise improves our sleep – helping us fall asleep faster and enjoy better quality of sleep

Anxiety Reducing
Exercise helps to moderate our brain’s response to stress – helping us feel calm

How can scooting help build happy hormones?

  • Exercise

    Scooting is a true whole body workout – it offers low impact cardio and is accessible to any age and any fitness level. The perfect way to get the endorphins flowing.

  • Fresh Air

    Not all exercise is created equal. Getting outside on your scooter also gives a feel-good boost of fresh air – and an all-important dose of Vitamin D which enhances the immune system and energy levels, as well lifting our mood.

  • Time Together

    We are naturally social animals – and scooting is the ultimate social activity. And scooting together is even better for our mood – as it helps to produce the bonding hormone oxytocin which reduces stress and encourages positive feeling.

  • Having a Laugh

    You might laugh at this but…laughing is actually good for us. Having a good giggle reduces stress hormones in our body and stimulates release of our feel-good friends, endorphins. So having fun on your scooter really is the ultimate way to feel good.

  • Mindfulness

    Scooting is a perfect way to get away from screens and distractions to spend time really focusing on the moment and appreciating what’s around you.
