There is only one way to win consistently and it comes down to your daily habits. Many of u started 2021 to be at your fittest best. I hope u are continuing in that journey. In case u have lost track, come right back in. We still have 335 odd days.
Build momentum. Start slow. Start small. Maybe 15 minutes everyday to your fitness. You can’t create a new habit until u r consistently long enough that it becomes second nature. Changing one habit at a time. Like drinking couple of glasses of water to start your day
Making one lunch of just salads. Going for a 30 minute walk. Or doing body weight strength training for 15 mins. Setting an alarm to go to bed. We have got 335 days to make 2021 our best year. You can only make it best by being consistent through out the year
Don’t make any excuse anymore. Let’s light a healthy fire. I hope you will pull from here and implement positive habits in your life to get you back on the healthy track. Your body does not deserve pills and pain. Love yourself more. Let’s get fitter together

Know your MHR. The best formula is 211 – 0.64* age. MHR is max hear rate beyond which you red-line your heart. Don’t cross that.Don’t pick up your phone. Don’t gossip in between your sets. Don’t let your heart rate fall below 50% MHR ( which means you are taking too much rest).
Weight selection - stick to ‘moderate effort’ in the first 8-12 weeks of training. This is in part to prevent excessive soreness and to ensure proper form. At this stage in a person's training journey, technique practice is the primary goal.
You need strong core to keep you safe and sound. A weak core will leave you prone to injury. And core is not abs. I have seen many with six pack who have weak core. Core muscles wrap around the torso and not just located at the front of the abdomen.
Your core training should compromise primarily of anti movements. Exercises that challenge the core muscles to resist the spine from bending and twisting. Avoid crunches and sit-ups. They will injure you more than help u. Your core exercises should basically be
Anti Extension - Exercises that resist the extension of spine like Dead bug, Plank, Ab roller wheel
Last couple of months noticed I was having quiet a few nights where I was having negligible deep sleep. We know that deep sleep benefits cardio vascular system and recharges our immune system. And I was not having alcohol so was worried what’s triggering that
So I started noting down all I was eating and drinking post lunch. And could zero down on the culprit - Caffeine. I need to drink something with the ‘street food’ type meals and I was taking this cold coffee which had protein when ever they made Pav bhaji or similar food
Caffeine is a stimulate and we all know it keeps us awake and makes us alert. Caffeine has half life of 5-6 hours & quarter life of 10-12 hours which means half of the coffee consumed is circulating in brain 5-6 hours after you had it &quarter of that is circulating at..
As a society we rely too much on medicines and quick fixes. एक pill खा लो BP ठीक रहता है या TG नीचे आ गया क्यों मेहनत करें। Reality is we are blessed with far more healing power than you are aware of. While medication is needed, smarter goal would be not getting sick. है ना?
Our goals , aspiration, situations in life may vary but it’s safe to say that nobody wants to be too obese, unable to bend to tie their shoes. In the long run it’s easier to make adjustments how u live now than suffer the consequences of not making them.
Isn’t exercising right now not better than heart surgery? Isn’t eating right now better than living with diabetes later? It’s all about changing mindset. You save for retirement without questioning that u will be alive at that age or not.
1. We lose 28% of our average workday to multitasking ineffectiveness. 2. Multitaskers make more mistakes than non multitaskers 3. They make poor decisions because they favour new information over old even if the older information is valuable
4.Multitaskers experience more life reducing stress 5. Multitasking doesn’t save time. It wastes time
Multitasking word came into our vocabulary with computers.But even they process one piece of code at a time. It’s just that they are so fast we get an illusion it’s multitasking
The traditional approach to weight training working on individual muscles groups is dumb if your goal is not to become a bodybuilder. A standard template -one day chest, triceps. Back biceps. Legs and so on. 95% of the body builders u see have some nagging pain which is bothering
This very concept has stemmed primarily from bodybuilding. In the last few decades tremendous research has been done on benefits of functional training. Functional, by definition, means something that is ‘designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive’
Functional simply refers to practicality and usefulness. Therefore, during programme design with ur trainer ,it is essential that exercises are selected based on their function and usefulness to your daily life and not on the attractiveness or difficulty of the movement.
