Derek Both asked: When you think of exercise, you may imagine running in place on a treadmill at the gym. However, losing weight and getting fit does not have to be that boring. People of all ages are beginning to dust off their mountain bikes and get exercise by exploring the world around them. Whether you dream of racing down a steep hill or taking a leisurely ride on an easy trail, mountain biking is a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time.
Mountain bikes are a great form of exercise because when you cycle, even slowly, you burn plenty of calories. It is a great way of toning muscles so whether you are trying to lose weight or simply tone up you are bound to be happy with the results.
If like most of us you are one of those people who finds it hard to get motivated to do exercise, then mountain biking is a great way to get in shape with friends. Mountain bikes are a great way to spend time with friends and family whilst getting some exercise at the same time.
Another great benefit of mountain bikes is the fact that they allow you to get outside and experience nature. After spending all week in an office, warehouse, or cooped up inside your home, the effect of biking is both soothing and energising.
Some trails are easy and allow for a leisurely ride while others are intense with uneven terrain, lots of hills and obstacles (trees, bushes, rocks, logs, etc.) Depending upon the level of exercise you want to get on your bike as well as your level of experience, you need to determine which trails are right for your needs.
A great way to uncover trails is to find other owners of mountain bikes and ask them to point you in the right direction. Most people will be happy to help and you will discover trails it is unlikely that you would have found on your own.
Safety gear is important when riding mountain bikes as it can be a dangerous activity at times. You should buy a pair of goggles to wear during your workout because as you ride through various trails, you may be surprised by low – hanging branches and small insects. The goggles will protect your eyes and ultimately your safety on your bike.
It is also advisable to buy some elbow and knee pads. If you fall off of your bike the impact can be rough on these areas so it is wise to protect them with the right gear.
Mountain bikes are a great way to get outdoors, exercise and experience nature. You can burn extra calories, discover great new biking trails and enjoy the company of friends at the same time. Make sure you are well – equipped with water and the right safety gear and you are ready to start mountain biking and getting fit.

Club Giraffe asked: Downhill mountain biking is one of the most extreme styles of mountain biking. Downhill biking, as its name implies is all about riding down steep slopes while getting over obstacles, drops and sharp turn in maximum speed. Over the years, many downhill mountain biking events and competitions have been established all over the world. Downhill competitions are held on courses situated on steep slopes and mountains such as the Alps and the Rocky mountains. The objective of a downhill cycling competition is to reach the bottom in the fastest time. Nonetheless, there are many mountain bikers who ride downhill trails just for the fun of it. In my opinion, mountain biking is a successful combination of the chance to feel a rush of adrenaline, reach remote places, see wonderful scenery and attempt to control and maneuver a mountain bike riding a high speed, through rough terrain.
Most of the main bike trails and bike parks which are geared towards downhill mountain bikers are equipped with attractions and are geared to their special needs. Many downhill mountain biking sites are equipped with chair lifts, which take bikers and their bikes to the top of the descent with no need to climb up. Many downhill mountain biking sites operate as ski sites in the winter and downhill mountain biking centers in the summer. Throughout Europe there are a few parks which are geared to downhill mountain bikers. One can find these sorts of parks in France, Austria, Italy and more. Downhill mountain biking parks offer specially made obstacles and drops, aside of the trails in their parameter.
As much as downhill biking is enjoyable and exciting, it’s one of the more hazardous mountain biking styles. In any case of downhill mountain biking, no matter if you’re an expert or a beginner, be sure do ride with full safety gear and after you have made sure that the trail you’re beginning fits your level of riding.
