Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I finally did it. I planned to go cycling today on the 1st Jan 2022 to a nearby park and discovered that I can also visit other parks via a road connector that's only for cyclists/walking/running. Despite the still ongoing pandemic, there are surprisingly many other people too.

Well, kinda obvious as it's the holiday. I didn't even notice if people were wearing masks. There are parents with their kids walking or cycling in each separate lane. This connector is really useful as all you have to do is follow the cycling path to every park in the country.

Using an app, I managed to know how far and how fast I'm cycling. I can read the info on my losing calories etc. I believe, I cycled a total of around 24km today. I'm surprised, to be able to cycle that far without having leg cramps or giving up.

I'm thinking that because I've been cycling to and fro to work and home every day that actually helps me build my fitness. Even though, it's not that far. I've even been losing around 1kg per week. It isn't that bad considering, I haven't been exercising for a long time.

In fact, I have a slipped disc and two bad knees. Forget about running, cycling is the best low-impact exercise for me. I did feel a slight pain on both my thighs when I was returning from my sis house. It was also raining. The bicycle felt heavy but I persevered.

Right now, I don't really feel any kind of effect on my body. But, I'm pretty sure, tomorrow I'll definitely feel some sores here and there. If I don't, then I might have improved my overall fitness. It's good that I've been starting slow and don't try to overdo it.

I'm not getting any younger and the body I had when I was young and in the military is vastly different. That's why I started light and only add to my training bits by bits. I also set up my own home gym with an exercise bench and weights to improve my physique. But, most importantly get my 6-packs back.

I'm happy that in the last 3 months of last year, I managed to lose some weight even though not much. At least whatever I'm doing it's working. I'm also happy that now, I can cycle from park to park and further away without worrying about traffics.

I really had fun and enjoyed riding my folding mountain bike. In one of my youtube videos, there were some people who said that it's not a good bike. But, I'm loving it. Yes, it's cheap. That's precisely why I bought it. Of course, if I had the money or a pro, I'll definitely get a more expensive bike.

I'm also having fun changing some of my bicycle parts and adding accessories. So far, I've changed my bike pedal and seat. I've bought a new bike handlebar, grips, brake levers, and stem. Some of them have already arrived but some haven't. Can't wait to fit 'em all. Pimping my mountain bike!
