I've been thinking I want to get back in shape, but I'm not sure which approach would be better. I mean personally, I love riding bikes so that would be my first choice. However, I want to stick to something and get the best fitness out of it.
In other words, let's say I were to ride a bike about 5 miles a day for 5 days a week for a month disregarding speed. Would that be healthier/better for me than running the same amount? The way I see it is that I'm riding for 5 miles, but it's a shorter time frame and may not give the same results as running would. Which would actually give me a more substantial workout?
I just really want to get into something outdoors. I'm not really concerned at the moment of cost or anything. I'm just looking at which has better benefits associated with them. I know I can do both, but I want to strictly do one for about a month or so and then try the other. I just need to have some incite on them.
Thanks in advanced.
