Ashish Purwar on benefits of cycling

I was a fitness freak from the beginning of my college days and I was regular to gym. However, eventually after joining job, I gradually stopped most of my physical activities. Back in 2014, I was diagnosed with high level of triglycerides. This made me re-start my fitness regime. But this time gym was not a feasible option because of hectic schedule. Cycling rescued me, and I joined Noida cycling club, and since then I cycle to keep myself fit.

Benefits of cycling cannot be explained in a small article but broadly speaking, it’s the best cardio exercise. It improves joint mobility; increases muscle strength and flexibility, decreases stress levels etc. The list is huge. As far as environment is concerned, it’s the only form of exercise where you save not only environment, but also your money. Instead of fuel you burn your fat. So dual benefits.

Till now I have rode around 7000 KMs which is something around one round trip from Srinagar to Kanyakumari. I am an admin of Noida cycling club which is the biggest cycling club of North India. My longest ride till now was 110 KMs, which was at one go. I have organized many cycling workshops and events for kids and adults of which our office - Cyclothon is an example.

Every form of exercise is good for health but other forms like gym and running can get monotonous. Cycling is an interesting exercise as you can keep visiting different places of interest. It’s even better if you ride in group. It feels more like a friends outing rather than exercising. Also the best part is that you can have a guilt free second breakfast! My co riders include people from age between 11 years to 82 years, so age is not a barrier!
