    Mountain biking in Tyrol - active on vacation

    (Advertising) Staying fit while on holiday is not easy. Delicious food, lots of lounging and other temptations quickly destroy the good intentions.

    So it takes a little planning to do sports while on vacation. While one takes control of the hotel's gym, others are directly planning an 'active vacation' where physical activity is part of the whole. Such an active holiday we present here: mountain biking in Tyrol.

    Why mountain biking?

    There are few sports that are as strenuous as mountain biking, but at the same time can be adapted to your own individual fitness level, because: Of course, it depends on the speed, the distance and their level of difficulty. While some trails are just for absolute professionals - especially because many meters of altitude have to be covered or technically difficult sections have to be mastered - other routes are also suitable for beginners as they offer shallow passages that can be used for "rest". 

    By the way, of course you consume a lot of calories, so you do not have to feel so bad at the evening hearty meal - after all, you are on vacation. Depending on the speed and your own body dimensions, burns an hour of mountain biking an average of 660 calories (about 2770 kJ). This is quite a lot and important, if you want to keep your weight in spite of feasting on vacation.

    In addition: At Mountain bikingEspecially when you are traveling in rough terrain, the entire musculoskeletal system including coordination is trained. Actually, it's hardly more effective. Especially the thighs and calves are particularly required. But also the back and the arms are trained while mountain biking. 

    And why mountain biking on holiday?

    The benefits of mountain biking are obvious - but especially on holiday, this sport, in contrast to the visit to the hotel gym, also has numerous "cultural" benefits:

    • You are out in the nature and can enjoy the sunshine, breathe fresh air and do something for your fitness at the same time.
    • You get to know the country better, because of course you are not strictly bound to any routes, but you can also deviate from it - just make sure that you do not move in designated areas of danger.
    • The same applies of course to the people of your holiday destination - with the mountain bike you are free, then you can rest when you want and so get to know not only country, but also people more intense. This gives you an authentic insight into the lifestyle of the local people. A very special experience!
