Take a moment. Imagine yourself 25 years from now. Some of u would be retired. Some of u might be visualising urself enjoying at a holiday home with family. Some maybe CEO of a corporate or a high flying entrepreneur. Some as political leader or religious guru. 1/6
Your goals and aspirations may differ but am sure nobody paints themselves as obese, someone who can’t bend to tie their shoes. Someone so frail that getting up from a chair becomes a Herculean task. Yes as you age your hairs will thin, u will have wrinkles,2/6
your steps aren’t quiet springy, but imagine no wheelchairs, no canes. Whatever u r doing, u r doing with the energy of someone half ur age. Your body isn’t standing on your way. How am I so sure? Because I am living, breathing proof..3/6
And neither I was an athlete in my younger days nor am a trainer coach or nutritionist or doctor. I have a body that’s ageing in reverse. At 55, having metabolic age of 38. Isn’t exercising daily better than heart surgery?4/6
Change ur mindset. What is difficult now will be vastly better in future. U save for ur retirement without even knowing that u will live that long. Or will that be even sufficient. U never question savings. Similarly make healthier life choices today to avoid sickness,..5/6
..improve longevity, and decline later on. Take care of ur sleep, nutrition, exercise. Take care of your body. Find your killer confidence. Ping me if u have any question. Happy to help. #fitafter50 6/6

Blood Pressure is a silent killer. 30% of Indians between 18-54 have never got BP measured. Some important information for you about Blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the amount of force your blood uses to get through your arteries. When your heart pumps, it uses force to push oxygen-rich blood out to your arteries. They bring it to your body’s cells and tissues. If your blood pressure is too high, it can cause health issues. The only way to know your blood pressure is to measure it.
It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two numbers, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is the higher number, and it represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. The diastolic pressure is the lower number, and it represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. A normal blood pressure reading is around 120/80 mmHg.

Do you breathe through your mouth sometimes while going through your daily routine?
Do you breathe through your mouth while sleeping? Waking up with a dry mouth is a sign.
Do you snore?
Observe your breathing right now – are you breathing from the chest or abdomen?
Do you sigh regularly?
Do you hear yourself breathing during rest?
Answering yes to even one of these questions means that you are over-breathing. These are typical symptoms of what happens when the amount of air we breathe is more than we need. Just as over-eating is bad for the body, so is over-breathing.
How fit are you? Take the BOLT Test.
Take a small gentle breath through your nose and release a silent breath through your nose.
Hold your nose after you breathe out with your fingers to prevent air from entering your lungs.
Count the number of seconds until you feel the first definite need to breathe.
You may feel a jerk in your abdomen or around your neck. Release your nose and breathe through it.
Your inhalation should be calm at the end of breath. If you are breathing heavier than normal means you have over-held your breath.
Note your time. The ideal BOLT score for a healthy individual should be 40 seconds.

Most of the things that matter for your Health are simple. Let me break it down for your ready reference. Longish thread but this is all you need to know for your good health.
Physical health
1)Exercise - Aim for 2 aerobic cardio sessions/week at a moderate pace where you can still talk but not easily.
Incorporate 2 resistance training sessions/week to build muscle strength.
Include 1 anaerobic session/week where you'll find it hard to talk. HIIT improves overall fitness and metabolism.
Take the stairs and walk whenever possible instead of elevators
2) Focus on whole foods: protein, veggies, and good fats.
Eat mindfully without distractions like TV or phone at designated places. Practice slow eating.
Plan meals weekly to avoid processed foods.
Prioritise home-cooked meals most of the time.
Avoid supplements unless you know you're deficient in something.
3) Sleep - Aim for 7-8 hrs of consistent sleep. Avoid food/screens 1-2 hrs before bed.
Catch morning sun, limit alcohol/caffeine post-noon. Clear your mind with journaling.
Practice good bedtime hygiene - brush, shower, limit fluids. Avoid alarms, use side lights.
Steer clear of intense workouts/News/Tv shows close to bedtime.
4) Get regular Health checkups done and a physician who knows all your history.
Financial Health -
Spend within your earnings.
Pay yourself first (invest in your future) from your first salary onwards.
Avoid debt.
Keep your lifestyle in tune with your income not neighbours.
Enjoy your money also and dont be burdened overly under pressure of savings.
Build a second source of income. Learn soft skills that keep paying you.
When health and time are in your favour in your young days maximise your effort to make more money.
Money can solve many problems in life going forward. Learn to pause and enjoy your hard work later in life.

Ever noticed that once you decide to buy a particular car model, you suddenly see it everywhere? Or a song you like is playing at all radio stations. This is called Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or Frequency Illusion. Image
This principle is not limited to cars or songs. It extends to our perceptions and experiences of life. If we continuously focus on problems, they appear to be everywhere, consuming our thoughts and energy.
Just like the phenomenon with the car model and the song, when you adjust your mental focus towards solutions, you will start recognising opportunities that were previously hidden in the cacophony of issues.

Stop 'Going to the gym'
I see lot of regulars at the gym who spend more time chit chatting and do random workouts. They neither have a goal nor a plan. If you are also one of them get serious about your fitness and take your confidence to the next level .
First stop 'going to the gym'. Going to the gym means going there without any plan. I mean going there not knowing why am there. Randomly you start doing things seeing others – some cardio – some chest, some confused lifting and some stretching. Get the focus out of 'going' part.

How to transform your body for life? Most of us start with a bang and when we check ourselves after a year maybe find ourselves same or may be worse.
What needs to be done to transform for ever. Do little things most of the time. Because little things done regularly becomes the big thing.
As they say it all begins with the mind. Condition your mind first. Ask Why you want to transform your body.
Is it to look good.
Feel and be healthy.
Get rid of lifestyle diseases.
To set an example for your children.
Reply yourself honestly – Why you are into this.
Next, Set specific goals. Its always better to say that I will loose 5 kgs by year end than I will loose weight by year end. Like HIIT there has to be periods when your goal is the main focus of life. During that period completely focus on sprinting towards your goal and then relax for certain time before hitting it hard again. Keep reminding yourself WHY you are doing it. Focus on progress not perfection. You will miss workouts or eat junk occasionally. Don bother about that but focus on progress. I am better than last week is what is needed.
