From Salman Khan to Sachin Tendulkar, these celebrities were busy keeping themselves fit with the help of the humble cycle. Take a look!
Covid-19 pandemic may have robbed us of the freedom and the possibility to freely roam around but it taught us a life lesson in becoming more aware of our responsibility towards our health as well as the environment. With the movement restrictions in place, people took it upon themselves to keep fit. To break the monotony of home workouts, and also to enjoy some fresh air, many took to cycling. In fact, in an advisory, the World Health Organisation (WHO) advocated increasing cycling and walking to limit physical contact to slow down the pandemic. The global health body said this will ensure physical distancing while helping meet the minimum requirements for daily physical activity at a time of increased tele-working and limited access to sport and other recreational activities.
In tandem with the Prime Minister’s call for keeping themselves fit amid pandemic to increase immunity as well as the ongoing Fit India movement, many celebrities were spotted cycling in and around their homes with their masks on, maintaining appropriate social distancing while subtly making a case for a clean environment.
Here are some examples that we thought would surely inspire you to begin cycling soon.
