I love mountain biking. It is truely an exhilirating experience. it is much more interactive than simply hitting the road. You are working constantly and if aren’t you probably need the recovery for the next obstacle. I do a great deal of road running and racing and it is a great change.

Omg!! That is intense… i was hiking gin Colorado on vacation and i saw mountain bikers going up the hill… this blows my mind! They were going super slow but a ton of resistance… I don’t know how they did it… i was so tired just hiking up it… were do you mountain bike?? You really go up dirt and rocky hills??

Yeah it is brutal…I compare it a lot to sprint workouts. There are moments when your heart feels like it is going to pound out of your chest and your lungs are burning. We do a lot of racing in the Pittsburgh area.

awesome!!! it seems scary.. i take spin class and thats as far as i will go… haha my husband and i rented bikes in colorado but we only took a nice strole in the park and in town.,

i’ve done a little bit of mountain biking and it is intense, although i admittedly was riding on some prety well established trails and wasn’t really doing too much trail blazing.
i did try to start doing some road biking a couple years ago and it was a nice change of pace. i live in the bay area where there are a ton of hills to ride up and down so it makes for a great place to bike for exercise, and the views aren’t too shabby to boot. 

off trail is insane!! i dont knwo how peopel do it..i its scary looking.l. i woudl def fall off the bike if i hit a rock.. its slow pace and super intense..
 
Why did you stop road biking?? what did you notice from doing that type of workout? muscle loss and fat loss?
