Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya urged youngsters to use cycles as a commuting option whenever possible. He led Fit India Movement’s flagship programme, Sundays on Cycle, from the Gateway of India. The message of this week’s Sunday’s on Cycle was #FightObesity. Cycling is a highly effective and fun way of exercising that is packed with benefits for the body and mind. Whether cycled outdoors or on a stationary bicycle indoors, cycling can make a huge difference in overall well-being. From strengthening cardiovascular health to sharpening mental focus, daily cycling can be a life-altering experience towards a healthier way of life.. A moderate cycling session can burn between 300–600 calories per hour, depending on intensity and body weight. It boosts metabolism, promoting efficient fat burning even after the ride is over. It stimulates the release of endorphins, also known as \”happy hormones,\” which reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Outdoor cycling allows riders to connect with nature, breathe fresh air, and escape daily stressors. Even indoor cycling can provide a sense of achievement and mental clarity, boosting overall mood.
