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.
