Cycling for a Healthy Body and Healthy Mind

Bicycles for kids and adults

Cycling is not merely a mode of transportation. It is a healthy activity that promotes both physical fitness and mental well-being. Engaging in regular cycling strengthens the body and rejuvenates the mind, making it a powerful tool for achieving overall health and vitality.

Physically, cycling offers a full-body workout that targets various muscle groups, including the legs, core, and arms. As a low-impact exercise, it reduces the risk of joint injuries compared to high-impact activities like running. Cycling also improves cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and promoting better circulation, which lowers the risk of heart diseases and stroke. Moreover, it helps in maintaining a healthy weight and improves metabolism, contributing to overall physical fitness.

On the mental front, cycling serves as an effective stress-reliever and mood enhancer. The rhythmic motion of pedaling induces a meditative state, allowing cyclists to clear their minds and relieve pent-up tension. When you spend time outdoors while cycling, your lungs are exposed to fresh air. The natural scenery you get to experience when outdoors cycling can have a calming effect on the mind and reduce feelings of anxiety or depression. Additionally, the sense of accomplishment and freedom experienced while cycling can boost self-esteem and confidence.

In essence, cycling is a holistic activity that nurtures both body and mind, making it a valuable tool for achieving and maintaining overall health and well-being. If you do not like to go to the gym, then incorporating regular cycling into your lifestyle can help you lead to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

Health Benefits of Cycling for Kids

Health Benefits of Cycling for Kids

Cycling is a great way for kids to get outside, be active, and have fun. It’s also a fantastic way for them to improve their overall health and fitness. When kids cycle often and for extended periods of time, they get a burst of cardio exercise and build endurance. Cycling also strengthens muscles in the legs, core, and arms. It’s important that kids understand the risks of cycling before they…

sorry still thinking about teucer within the iliad and the ajax and how much of his agency and sense of personhood must have come directly from big ajax supporting and defending him socially. teucer's a nothos born of a trojan concubine, which means he was banned from coming-of-age rituals (legally a child all his life) including voting, and a lowly archer besides, but thanks to his half-brother he's fighting and eating meals and living alongside actual kings and commanders.

and despite living among them for a decade in the war, the moment ajax dies and teucer tries to hold his own, his lesser status and foreignness is thrown in his face by those same rulers. he's fortunate that odysseus happens to want the same thing as him, and that odysseus holds legitimate status and sway, because on his own there's no way teucer would have convinced them ajax deserved proper burial rites, which would have condemned teucer further.

do you ever think about how maybe all gansey wanted was for his parents to ask him to stay?? how a 14/15 year old just went to peru and the uk and all these places by himself and his parents did not question it. and yeah, gansey’s parents aren’t terrible mal-intentioned people, they just don’t really seem to care in a tangible way. a lot of the parental relationships in trc are representations of parents fucking up their kids trying Not to fuck up their kids. 15 year old gansey needed to feel worthy and loved by his parents more than he needed to find glendower. he needed them to say, stay here. and 10 year old gansey needed his parents to notice where he was at that party and shouldn’t have had to feel like his death was a stain on his parents perfect world. he needed them to say stay with us, be here with us.

the thing is, like, imogen is blunt, and indecisive, and impulsive. she's cynical, angry at the world, and seemingly much less interested in doing good than in holding on to her loved ones. she's hypocritical, incredibly violent one moment and horrified at the prospect the next. she's passive aggressive, on occasion. she's overly critical. she's scatterbrained.

and all of that stuff is very fucking fascinating, and so fun to watch, and core to what makes her her. but not only are those things not the totality of imogen as a character, they're very much inextricable from the things that make her sympathetic.

imogen has spent much of the last decade of her life in pain, and isolated because of it. when she wasn't alone she couldn't relax, having to keep tight control over her mind so as to not get overwhelmed or invade the privacy of others. because even through all that pain and loneliness, she still bore the responsibility not to impose on other people's minds. and when she fails or slips up or gives in, all of the distrust and suspicion she recieves regardless is suddenly viewed as justified.

which is not to say imogen is not responsible for her actions, or the harm she causes others. of course she is! no one is saying she isn't! but, just like literally every other person, her actions don't exist in a void but within the context of both her past and present.

analyzing that context and coming up with explanations of her behavior that consider it is not excusing her actions or refusing to acknowledge her flaws. it is not coddling imogen to sympathize with her even when she's fucking up. these are pretty standard ways to discuss a character you enjoy actually! it's weird that having a nuanced perspective on a character's actions is being treated as an issue!

part of the many many bits of heartbreak over the jack arc is just sam and dean replicating their childhood dynamics from different places. jack is now sam. sam is now dean, jack's ally but at the end of the day, that means nothing when john's word is the final rule. and john is now dean, determined to keep his family under control, bc to lose control is to invite further death and despair into your home.

love how dune was like paul is following in his mother’s footsteps (achieving revenge by exploiting an entire people and subjecting the rest of the universe to unimaginable violence from grief) and chani is following in her mother’s footsteps (fighting for her people and the ecological health of her planet) and you know they’re so fucking doomed from the very beginning.

I've been turning over in my mind the scene where Nasuada yells at Murtagh to fight against Galbatorix, the way she sees him and how she confronts him. It reveals this fundamental misunderstanding of who he is. And I just think it's so sad. For Murtagh, the people he loves are what matter most to him, and in the case of Nasuada and Eragon specifically, he cares so very much about them that he consistently does everything in his power to help them. And they in return put such pitifully little effort into understanding him and caring about him. It's not that they've proven incapable, it's that, to them, Murtagh isn't worth even the effort of trying. It's so fucking sad.

the thing about having a semi-viral star trek meme post is that i get to see in real time the fandom's severe lack of reading comprehension. people are actually in the notes of my captains-giving-life-advice meme going "janeway would never say murder is okay" besties the screenshot in that meme is from a scene of her delivering a cheesy pun about how she's gonna scour some hostile aliens out of the delta quadrant and cycling the action of a phaser rifle for comedic effect. pay attention.

like there are people who point out that sisko has also engaged in violence, and used deadly force, but with sisko it is usually a story about coming to terms with a terrible choice wherein your values and morals compel you to act in a situation where the only intervention also contravenes those values and morals to some extent (past tense, in the pale moonlight, etc.) captain janeway does some of this sometimes (tuvix) but in her case it also often involves her maternal role: she takes responsibility because she feels it is her duty to shield others from the consequences of her choice to strand the ship, and more broadly, as their captain she is responsible for the consequences that befall the crew.

however, i want to point out that when violence is necessary (and, to be fair, janeway does put a lot of effort into avoiding it when she can, she holds fast to a lot of starfleet ideals) she takes a joyous approach. when she must use force, she often delights in its delivery. again, the images of the captains in that meme are, except for her, doing their Signature Thing™ but janeway is delivering a pun about how she's about to kill some motherfuckers. and there are many such cases. nobody is murder is okay like janeway is murder is okay

So we know, according to Aaravos, that there are things he learned from humans, specifically:

the effect a ripple can have

patience

And we know both of these happened after he was kicked out of Startouch ‘heaven’ (?) but seemingly before the Fall of Elarion, precisely. It seems like it’s early days for humans having primal magic but they haven’t figured out dark magic yet. And we also know from interviews that Aaravos played a part in discovering dark magic, but perhaps didn’t outright create it (with Claudia’s “so he gave us magic” being a partial truth or her own interpretation). So it makes me wonder if when Aaravos fell, and according to the artbook the fall limited his powers, he learned primal magic alongside humans through connections to give himself more power and opportunities than what he could do with star magic. He has his chest piece in the 1x01 intro which is decidedly post-Fall of Elarion, so it still leaves my theory that his piece was taken out when he was imprisoned by the archdragons viable, but we’ll have to see.

Does anyone else get the feeling that at their core, all of mxtx's works are about cycles of abuses.
