Waching daily May 28 2018

Go to work and return to work was a waste of time.

Now I save time.

I enjoy cycling, I like it.

It is good for the spirit, you know.

You feel free.

An exercise of self-care.

You are doing something just for you.

I really like to see people in the street riding bikes.

However, I have a certain fear.

Therefore, that is why I accepted this challenge.

My name is Giuliana, I am 25 years old, I am a publicist.

I work in a technology company.

And I accepted the challenge of going to work by bike.

I am Jamile, I work as a logistics analyst.

Being able to see,

the streets and the city,

I will get to work in a different mood.

We are doing the Pedal Project.

We collected the volunteers'' blood samples

And we will repeat these tests in a month.

And with that, we will evaluate how the heart reacts.

The pulmonary metabolic part and musculature.

Maintain your leg strength, do not slow down, and keep up the pace.

We all have carbon spots in our lungs,

as if we were smokers.

About two, two and half-hours,

While you are in traffic, you smoked the equivalent

of a cigarette.

The cyclist goes much faster.

Although he's is ventilating,

travel time is shorter.

And that makes up for the dose.

Ninety percent of the route it will be by bike path.

But it has its uphill parts.

And it is a journey of about 14 kilometres.

The biggest challenge is going to be physical, right.

You have to bring out of you that something that moves you.

Let's go!

So if you plan to have a healthier life,

have better quality of life,

the bike has to be included

and the courage to try.

Look, here we will ride with Edgar.

A portion of the bike path.

Then we will have to go uphill,

among the cars.

I never rode on the street.

I always rode in parks, as a hobby.

I am shaking.

You have to put in bike lanes all over the place, man.

It is funny how we became convinced that we needed

cars all over the city.

There was no investment in low-emission public transportation.

In active mobility.

And we pay a high toll,

not only money,

but also time,

sleep,

diseases caused by air pollution.

Mental health.

This cultural change will delay.

But it has already started to happen.

That is, I do not know how long it will take.

But it is irreversible and we are going in the right direction.

And this tour?

Wow, now it is just life.

Beautiful.

I get off at that station.

Which is the train station.

We arrive like sardines.

And I was shocked I made it.

Like, I am already here; it is just across the street

and I am at work, man.

We did the trip in an hour.

By train is an hour.

Apart the subway, apart from getting in and out, changing trains.

"We made it".

It was hard going uphill.

To reach the end is really cool.

I am pretty tired.

But it was awesome.

Seeing the city from another perspective

you motivate yourself,

another perspective for your life too, you know.

You begin to make sense of other things,

you did not see before.

Furthermore, you can encourage others, I guess.

You can believe more,

that it is possible to have a city with less cars.

You can have a city with happier people.

We saw that she earned around 20%, more or less,

in aerobic gain.

Cholesterol also improves.

And the mental part, too, physical exercise helps a lot.

This ends up improving moods and reducing stress.

And it helps the person on a daily basis and there is much improvement.

People's at my work jokingly says, dude,

There is one Giuliana when she comes by bike,

And another Giuliana when she doesn't come by bike.

Blood sugar levels was reduced

in a very relevant way in relation to the two cyclists.

An important practice for you for example, is delaying the start

of an adult diabetes type.

Or to help to have better control,

with less drugs, a diabetes type that begins

in adulthood, too.

It is worth going by bike.

You will see that it will greatly improve your life.

You even driver differently afterwards.

You look at people and cyclists in another way.

And one thing I realized at work,

it was very funny, people coming to me and saying:

Now I am driving,

I look at cyclist and say, wow that could be Jamile.

So I will be careful.

So like,

it took this perception to others,

to respect, right.

That everyone can have his or her own space.
