Hey folks,

I’m a 30M, not very fit right now (even climbing stairs gets me tired 😅). Just got a new 29” non-gear MTB and started riding in the mornings.

Done few of 7–9 km rides so far at a relaxed pace. Trying to build consistency and improve stamina.

Looking for beginner tips:

- How often should I ride in the first few weeks?

- Any basic mistakes I should avoid?

- Simple diet/hydration tips?

- When should I think about increasing distance or intensity?

Not aiming for anything crazy..just want to get fitter and lose some belly fat over time.

Appreciate any advice 🙏
