Achievements mustering confidence in Ludhiana womenDP CORRESPONDENT

Ludhiana

While there have been many

cases where girls from Ludhiana are shining in national and inter-national arenas there is a special section of women in the city who are coming out and proving themselves even though they are not professionals.

Members of Girls Pedaller Club took part in Decathlon’s Sunday race event in which the ladies competed in a 23 km race on National Highway 1 from De-cathlon to Phillaur. In

women category Girls Pedaller Club won first 3 positions. Speaking about how it felt to be a part of this uprising of the Ludhiana woman to come out of her home and win accolades for herself Sanjana Goyal, Samira Aulakh and Sakshi Dadu who won the first, second and third position respec-tively say that the exhilaration of winning has made them more confident. The president of the winning club Jyoti Goyal said that this achievement is a great way to encourage other women to take up cycling that is not only a good way to exercise, but also works well on the social scene.

Cycling for me is a great way to stay fit and have fun in the early morning fresh air. Not only does it keep us physically strong but meeting new people everyday. I am so enthusiastic about this sport and it is refreshing and inspirational.

SANJANA

All girls were very happy for this new experience. It was truly a wonderful experience which has built a lot of confidence in not only me but the other members of our group. This achieve-ment will give the required boost to the growing cycling culture in Ludhiana specially among women.

SAKSHI DADU

Being a part of the race was a challenge to know how fit I am! I look forward to take part in such events with our Girl Pedallers Club to spread awareness on health and fitness which is the most important key for being a happy soul in today’s stressful world!

FALAK VERMA

KEEPING IT REALI am a vegetarian and love what

I eat. But I make sure that I work off the extra calories. I have a zest for life and I want to live to the fullest. I am fond of ghee and milk and have panjiri in the winters. I am a complete foodie, but keep the quantity of what I eat in check.

WHAT’S THE SECRET?Don’t only depend on cardio. I

have a fixed timetable and I fol-low it religiously. I never miss my physical workout as it is an integral part of my day and while I do that, I do not allow my mind to wander off anywhere else.

25-year-old Falak Verma is very enthusiastic about her fitness but does not believe in starving herself. Fitness is a process and something that is a part of lifestyle. Keep a routine and be regular. Everyone blindly follows regimes but one has to be mentally fit in order to keep yourself fit as well.

Falak is a very strong girl and she knows how to take care of

her self. She makes sure that she follows her

routine.

Falak is an example to

all of us. Her dedication and commitment to make sure that she is healthy is one that amazes

us.

WHAT TO EAT AND DO Always include weight train-

ing so that you can keep the body toned. Watch what goes into your stomach. Don’t skip meals; instead go for a healthy diet which includes all important nutrients.

I have 2 glasses of water first thing in the morning. Include some form of physical workout, be it hitting the gymnasium, dancing or doing yoga, in your everyday routine.
