mountain biking for cardio???

[Crazymank]

Im talking real trails where its in the woods and its a bitch getting your ass up the hills. I didnt bring a monitor with me, but i swear i got my heart rate up to 160 at one point. It can be exciting and you can blow through an hour really easily.

anyone else into this??? I swear i cut up a little more from just 1 day in the woods.

i do it i think its good to have the shoes that click into the petals though because you can push and pull up with your feet too.

yeah... i have those. I actually pull with my hamstring on one side and push down with my quad on the other side. A must for big hills.

I don't have a mountain bike anymore (got stolen) but I used to love it! I had some really good workouts. Now I just do sled pulls (if someone wants to steal it GOOD LUCK!), not near as fun but very effective.

my 72' 3/4 ton pickup only gets 10mpg. good trails are about an hour away. Its the only reason why i dont do it 3 times a week.
