Welcome to the cycling community. This email shares the stories of my weight loss journey. I discovered this secret with a borrowed bicycle and came up with this newsletter to share with everyone. In this email, I have summarized it for the readers.
Bicycling deals with all external factors and pulls us inwards. It opens the treasure of the inner world for us to draw positive energy from the universe and turn us into better individuals, beaming with energy and inspiring others.
Talking of benefits, firstly, Cycling is a low-intensity physical workout and can be taken up by people of all age groups.
Secondly, it has the power to transform our health and our societies by changing our mindset and our outlook towards the world through the lenses of mutual respect, trust, friendship, freedom, bonding, and environment.
Thirdly, it enables us to bring emotional equilibrium and opens the doors to happiness.
To enjoy this never-depleting source of happiness, we require only a bicycle, and everything falls into its place.
To start on this journey, one requires a self-created, simple, and easy-to-follow plan.
There are only three steps to make cycling a lifelong habit and incorporate it into a current lifestyle.
Learn to ride a bicycle
Ride the bicycle based on a weekly plan.
Change the existing method based on your riding experience.
I could follow these three steps with utmost ease and experience the weight loss results within four weeks.
I repeat these steps every four weeks and remain consistent. Here are the links to the treasure of my weekly riding experiences.
Week One
In week one, I overcame the self-doubt of stepping out and riding longer distances. It helped connect with self, build self-confidence, and continue losing weight.
Week Two
In week two, I discovered a pattern in the weight loss, carried on, and completed 15 to 20 km each day starting from Monday to Thursday. This week, I planned to bump my ride up to 36 kilometres, and I was a bit desperate and super excited because of losing pounds faster in the previous week.
Week Three
In week three, I improved in cadence, balance, and pedaling. I do not cross too much above the required intensity level, making it as chaotic as enough to make me feel happy.
Week Four
In week four, I stepped up my training and took the leap towards building my efficiency and endurance for longer routes to participate in official brevets. I went for a solo multi-day event that had been brewing inside me for a long time, and I thought to give myself a memorable gift on my birthday.
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy life.
