Cycling is a great workout any day, any time. However, when you want to turn it into real rejuvenation, try experiencing it early morning.
This is just another morning cycling ride I experienced – from right before sunrise, till the time sun became well visible among the New York City high-rises.
Within about an hour you experience numerous shades of red, orange, and bright yellow all around you. Combine that with the solitude, calm and soothing sound of birds, and a river flowing by. All that while you are going fast and the wind hitting your face. This is sheer bliss and one has to experience it to understand it. So get up and get out with your bike – a better dream awaits you outside!
Aside from the aesthetics and morning views, cycling in the morning has tremendous benefits for your mind and body.
Benefits for the Mind
- Improves Mood: Cycling in the morning releases endorphins and dopamine which are natural mood lifters.
- Boosts Focus: The fresh morning air and physical activity from cycling help sharpen mental clarity for the day ahead.
- Reduces Stress: Cycling in the morning sets a calm, accomplished tone before work or daily tasks.
Benefits for Body
- Fires Up Metabolism: Cycling in the morning jumpstarts calorie burn early in the day, helping with weight management.
- Builds Consistency: With fewer distractions in the morning, you are more likely to stick to your cycling routine.
- Improves Sleep: Cycling early in the day may help people sleep better at night.
Benefits from the environment
- Cleaner Air: Less traffic in the morning implies less pollution and more enjoyable breathing.
- Cooler Temperatures: Especially in summer months, early mornings are more comfortable to ride in.
So why wait? Lets get up and get going on our bikes!!
