New Delhi, April 20 (NationPress) The capital city of Delhi celebrated the launch of its weekly health initiative, the ‘Fit India Sundays on Cycle’, at the iconic Major Dhyan Chand Stadium on Sunday.
This initiative aims to enhance fitness levels and raise awareness about obesity, drawing in fitness lovers, families, and youth from all corners of the city.
The event featured Bollywood star and President of the Rugby India Association, Rahul Bose, who took part in the cycling rally and shared an uplifting message regarding community fitness and collective health.
“The cycling route spanned approximately two to two-and-a-half kilometres, but the true enjoyment every Sunday comes from participating alongside friends, colleagues, neighbors, and the community. I see a dual advantage in this approach. On one hand, you are undoubtedly exercising, boosting your blood circulation, which is beneficial for your health. On the other hand, you’re doing it in unison,” he stated.
He underscored the significance of engaging in physical activities together rather than solo workouts, drawing from his experience in team sports.
“When discussing fitness, many people claim that exercising is dull. They desire to be active, yet working out alone demands significant willpower. However, when surrounded by others, the need for willpower diminishes because you can draw energy from them. Engaging in collective activities makes a substantial impact,” he elaborated.
Bose also took this opportunity to advocate for rugby and other team sports in India.
“In just one hour, you can watch two or three exhilarating games on television and feel thoroughly entertained. It’s fast-paced and filled with action. Frankly, it’s one of the most viewer-friendly outdoor sports I’ve encountered globally,” he remarked, emphasizing the excitement and allure of rugby.
The Fit India Sundays on Cycle is a nationwide fitness campaign initiated in December 2024 by the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The program encourages cycling as a sustainable, inclusive, and eco-friendly exercise option with a multitude of health advantages.
The movement is gaining traction as more individuals are taking to the streets, pedal by pedal, to foster a healthier India.
