Cycling
Initially i started riding over the weekends along with my friends but later on it became a routine for me and would go for 30 - 40 K's per day. I would recommend it to everyone i speak with, cos it reduces your stress levels and increase the immunity whenever i feel down would go for a ride and the fresh air rejuvenates me and would even got some creative solutions for many problems, Would like to thank my neighbour cos he's the one who pushed me to start this great activity which has now become part of my life.
