Because of the rugged terrain, mountain biking burns more calories and you get a better workout than you can on a typical bike ride. Mountain biking works your upper and lower body and requires you to engage your core while climbing uphill. Forty-five minutes of mountain biking can help you burn, on average, between 400 and 600 calories.*
Do you want to give mountain biking a try, but live near flat land? Intentionally ride into the wind, which will generate resistance. You can also simulate hills with a stationary bike that allows you to add and take away resistance.
