Running vs. Mountain Biking?
Running vs. Mountian Bike Riding?
I have been running for the past few years to stay in shape and for my excercise. I have recently discovered mountian biking and I love it. I love it so much that i find myself not running as much. But I have noticed that with mountain biking I am getting almost a full body workout. However, doesn't running and mountain biking get the same out of each. Excercise?

I been running for approximately 13 years and biking for approximately 3 years. The best advice I have found on the subject says that 3 miles on a bike equals 1 mile running in terms of a cardio workout.

I agree you definitely use more muscle groups while mountain biking and that is unquantifiable in terms of exercise. Don't forget exercise should be something you enjoy, so if you like mountain biking keep doing it and don't worry so much about running.

yes they both work your cardiovascular system but i perfer to run
