I Cycled for 21 Days and Didn’t Expect This to Happen

🚴‍♂️ The Cycle That Fixed My Fitness Routine

One day, I dusted off my old Hero cycle.

No Lycra. No fancy helmet. Just a t-shirt, shorts, and a need to breathe better.

That 20-minute ride became the turning point in my training and mindset.


☀️ Why Cycling Works for Desilifters

India’s roads are chaotic, but your neighborhood galli or local park loop is all you need.

Here’s what cycling did for me:

  • 🔥 Burned fat without crushing my joints
  • 🧠 Gave me clarity, focus, and calm (better than chai, bro)
  • 💪 Boosted my legs for squats and deadlifts
  • 🌳 Let me enjoy morning sun and fresh air — vitamin D, free of cost!

🕖 My 25-Minute Desi Cycle Ritual

  • 6:30 AM – Wake up, quick glass of water
  • 6:45 AM – On the road with my cycle
  • 25 minutes – Steady pace, no rush
  • 7:15 AM – Back, stretch, light breakfast (eggs + toast + chai)

🥗 Fueling My Ride

Cycling burns calories fast — so keep it simple:

  • Pre-ride: 1 banana or a handful of soaked almonds
  • Post-ride: 2 boiled eggs + roti or daliya
  • Later: Whey shake with milk + 1 fruit

Don’t ride on an empty stomach — you’ll bonk harder than Delhi traffic at 6PM.


🧠 Journal This, Bhai

“Cycle ride felt peaceful. Body was stiff at first but loosened up. Felt happy by the end. Energy better than coffee. Definitely repeating.”


Final Thought: Wheels Over Worries

You don’t need Zwift or a ₹90,000 cycle.

You need:

✅ A decent bike
✅ 20 minutes
✅ The will to start

Cycling isn’t just cardio. It’s therapy for the mind and muscles.

So dust off that old bike.
Pedal like a desilifter.
And watch your day get lighter — and your body too.
