I posted this on my wall, but this was so cool, I had to share it:

Okay, so last week I began taking my mountain bike out for a 45min trail ride...sometimes twice per day.
Initially I was creating a good habit and avoiding a bad one....this replaced possible evening snacking with no calorie burn to compensate.
Just wanted to report: That simple ride did amazing things for head-to-toe body tone!
Looks like I've been working out all over!
What's up with that?:bigsmile:
I'm going to keep doing that!

    I've been riding about the same, 45 minutes sometimes longer everyday. I hadn't really noticed a change until I started doing additional exercises. It's great fun though, I hope it's helping me like it's helped you! Great Job!

    I do think a mountain bike is more challenging to ride.
    Makes you use your legs harder than on a road bike.
    I did notice that difference, right away!
    At any rate, love the off-road riding lots more.
