Sustain fitness and motivation with 'Discipline'- a word that will change the perspective


 


Discipline and journey of fitness

Decided to go for a fitness journey inspired by friends or watching a web series? we are not concerned about the inspiration to start the journey, but here we are more interested in the continuity part or moreover, the discipline part to keep the boat sailing through the daily ups and downs of life and of course the temptations that come across with a desire to eat unhealthy food or skip exercise.

1. The Early Morning Dilemma:

Imagine you wake up at 6 am with the best alarm tone set on your smartphone, of course, every one of us wakes up at pre- pre-decided time to either snooze or turn off the alarm. This is where discipline takes in and a person who follows it rises with a purpose. Yes, we need to find that purpose. The act of getting out of bed becomes a triumph over comfort, setting the tone for a day infused with energy and accomplishment. 

2. Selecting the nutritional choices:

Whether it’s a single small piece of unhealthy food or a dining table full of options right from desserts with chocolates and other options, it always tests our discipline level, completely avoiding is not an option of choice but keeping it for treating on an achievement can be fine. It's the ability to make mindful choices in the moment, recognizing that short-term indulgence might compromise long-term goals.

3. The stress that accompanies like a shadow:

Stress always tries to let us down, but avoid using the word ‘stress’ to give an excuse for the workout, here sometimes the time we can adjust according to ourselves, or by selecting the easy or hard type of exercise accordingly, here stress also impacts food part as most of us burst it by having a drink of choice, but again we need to discipline of avoiding drinking or replacing it with some healthier choices available across the globe. 
Discipline transforms stress into an opportunity for physical activity, understanding that exercise is a powerful stress-buster.

4. On paper and reality difference:

Here I am talking about the planning we do for our fitness journey on paper like 100 push-ups, 1 hour of cycling, running for an hour, here what best tried and tested method is to go for that short achievable Target but with discipline that will create a muscle memory which will ultimately put things on auto mode over a long time. So get motivation from the plan but plan with achievable targets. Discipline will not be a hard thing when you take it as a continuity process rather than forcing yourself to do something where we as human beings start finding excuses.

5. Adjusting the gear on the journey of fitness:

To keep the story short, here we are on a journey and not on a short race, so don’t get exhausted frustrated, or eliminated from the race, this is our very own journey, so adjust accordingly and just be committed to the journey of health, don’t be too forceful to do it on every day, it's fine if we miss few days of the week. We can always start fresh every morning so keep the disappointment of yesterday for the past and be ready for the future. don’t forget we have discipline as our companion which will grow over time so adjust the gear and give time for the growth of this beautiful plant of health.

As we encounter these scenarios in our fitness journeys, let's recognize the transformative power of discipline in seemingly ordinary choices. It's in these moments of decision that the heroism of discipline shines, propelling us toward a fitter, healthier, and more resilient version of ourselves.

7 Key Comparisons Between E-Cycling and Conventional Cycling: Which One Fits Your Fitness Journey?

  If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether to hop on a traditional bike or try out an e-bike, you’re not alone. Cycling has always been a fantastic way to stay fit, but the rise of e-cycling has added a modern twist to this classic activity. The big question is: how do they compare? Let’s dive into 7 key differences (and similarities!) between e-cycling and conventional cycling and see how they’re transforming health and fitness.   1. Effort vs. Assistance: How Much Are You Pedaling? Traditional bikes rely 100% on your leg power. This means you’re constantly working your muscles, heart, and lungs - great for fitness, but not always easy, especially on steep hills.   E-bikes, on the other hand, offer pedal-assist features. They give you a boost, making tough terrains feel like a breeze. If you’re new to cycling, recovering from an injury, or just want to enjoy a leisurely ride without breaking too much of a sweat, e-cycling is a game-changer.   ...

planning to wear cycling shoes : Types, fit and avoiding common mistakes

  Finding the Perfect Cycling Shoes for Your Ride Whether you’re gearing up for an indoor spin class, hitting mountain trails, or cruising on the road, choosing the right cycling shoes can make all the difference. Let’s break it down and help you figure out exactly what you need. How Cycling Shoes Differ from Normal Shoes and Why They’re Important Cycling shoes are designed with one purpose: to maximize your efficiency on the bike. Unlike normal sneakers, cycling shoes have stiff soles that improve power transfer, meaning more of your energy goes into pedaling rather than being lost in shoe flexibility. They’re also equipped to securely attach to cleats, locking your feet into the pedals for stability and better control. This connection helps reduce muscle fatigue and ensures smoother, more effective rides. While regular shoes may feel comfortable initially, they can cause foot slippage and discomfort over time. Investing in proper cycling shoes can prevent injuries, improve perfor...
