Total-Body Trail Ride

Holy workout!

David and I just returned from a two hour cross-country trail ride and it was tough!

(You might remember last month we hiked the same trail- Little Big Econ.)

We usually take our road bikes out on paved trails, but today David persuaded me to borrow one of his bikes and tackle the woods!
Twists and turns, narrow paths, huge roots popping up everywhere, inclines and drop-offs... It was quite a workout!

I actually felt the burn in my shoulders and abs as well as my legs. It was definitely more about total body strength than cardio today for me. Your body and mind have to be 100% in the ride.

For the past few months David and I have made a habit of getting in a long workout on Saturdays. Sweating outside together sure is a nice alternative to watching TV all day!

Are there any activities you love to participate in over the weekend? I want to tackle kayaking and volleyball next!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!
