The Heart Behind Movement

Every February, Heart Month gives us a reason to pause and remember why movement matters.

  • Not for aesthetics.

  • Not for “beach bodies”.

  • Not for punishment.

But for the heart that powers everything we do.

Your heart is working 24/7, even when you’re sleeping, Netflix-ing, or dramatically negotiating with yourself about whether you really need to work out today. (Spoiler: your heart votes YES.)

At Cyclebeat, we don’t just coach sessions, we help people build habits that support heart health for life in a way that’s effective, enjoyable, and sustainable. Because strong hearts = strong lives.

“Why Am I Sore After a Workout?”

You finished an incredible ride, crushed your core set, or changed your body angle to make your RX session tougher and the next day, your body lets you know it. You wake up stiff, sore, maybe even laughing (because it hurts to move).

That soreness has a name: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). It’s the feeling of your muscles adapting to the new challenges you gave them.

Treats & Body Awareness:

Halloween is one of those magical times of year filled with laughter, costumes, and of course, candy. But as the sugar rush fades, it’s easy to feel a little “off.” Maybe your energy dips, your stomach protests, or you feel that all too familiar twinge of guilt for indulging.

Here’s the truth: you didn’t do anything wrong.
Your body doesn’t need punishment, it needs connection. The trick (and the treat) is learning to tune back into your body’s signals, move with intention, and restore balance from the inside out.

How Your Evening Routine Affects Your Sleep

=Sleep is often called the foundation of health, and for good reason. It affects everything from brain function and metabolism to emotional balance and immune strength. Yet for many of us, quality sleep feels elusive. We climb into bed tired, but our minds race, our bodies resist, and true rest slips away.

The truth is: how well you sleep doesn’t just depend on what happens once your head hits the pillow it depends on how you spend the hours before bedtime. Your evening routine is the bridge between your waking life and restorative sleep.
