One of the ways you can maintain fitness is by cycling. I chose cycling as one of my experiences because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a lockdown imposed almost everywhere but because of this, I was losing my fitness so I thought of cycling for about 2-3 weeks to maintain my health and fitness. Cycling increases your physical health which helps improve your core muscles, stamina, endurance, and overall fitness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Learning Outcomes which I\u2019ve demonstrated are LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, and LO6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO1-<\/strong> I am passionate about physical activities whether it’s indoor or outdoor. Considering that I am passionate about physical activities, I thought of going cycling to help me regain the fitness that I lost in the lockdown. Knowing my strength that I can cycle for a good amount of short distances, I also had to work upon my weakness of long-distance cycling which also required working on my stamina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO2- <\/strong>The biggest challenge I faced was getting up early. The crucial 5 minutes in the morning decided my willpower throughout the day. Soon after, it became an activity that I would love to wake up to. It helped me get out of my comfort zone and I learned to use my mornings creatively. This allowed me to get to my school on time, which starts promptly from 9:00 a.m till 2:30 p.m. It was tempting to take a day off to wake up, so I decided to ride 5 days a week at my own discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO3- <\/strong> Coming up with this experience has helped me a lot to regain my fitness. I had to create a plan where only weekends were possible for me and sometimes during the weekdays. I had always planned to go cycling with my friends but they always had some or the other excuse ready so I took the initiative to go cycling by myself and work on my fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO4-  <\/strong>For the first few days it was difficult for me to wake up early as it was not part of my regular sleep schedule. Then I started showing commitment by setting up several alarms and even telling my parents to wake me up early. Showing such dedication towards going cycling helped me gain a healthy sleep schedule along with helping in progress towards my fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO6- <\/strong>People nowadays prefer using 2-wheeler or 4-wheeler even for a short distance to travel. This causes air pollution and also the unnecessary consumption of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel. If people switch to using a cycle for such short distances then it would help reduce the issues mentioned earlier. I have started using a cycle to travel such distances after realizing these issues and also conveying this information to others who are approachable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
