One of the nice things about working out in the summer is that you can workout outside instead of inside and it always seems like you have a lot more energy then you did in the wintertime.
One thing to be really aware of if you are biking outside is that you can in fact coast. By coasting I mean that without pedaling you will still be moving where as on your indoor bike you would never stop pedaling because you know full well that you are not riding.
So next time that you are on your bike outside try to be conscious of the times that you are just coasting and not really pedaling. Better yet try doing different exercises. when you are running or swimming you will not be able to coast. You will know that you are in fact moving or stop. It is always easiest to just use one method of exercise but it is important to make sure that you are getting all of your muscles working which really does take doing more than one kind of exercise.
