Burning Calories Bike Riding
Die-hard mountain bikers may love mud, sweat and tears but snow, ice and freezing temperatures can stop the most dedicated riders from getting out on a bike in the middle of winter.
While training indoors on a cycle trainer can maintain fitness levels, only sophisticated computrainers with built-in software can stop riders from getting bored and most are geared to road cyclists where the main focus is on revs per minute and maintaining lower body fitness. Mountain bikers need a total body workout program to cope with lumps and bumps on rough terrain; while most indoor exercise bikes only stretch the legs, the Xdream does a whole lot more.
