For the past few weeks we have been discussing, what we call a healthy lifestyle! We have been through sleep routines, eating habits, when to take a dump and stuff.            Now say, you have decided to start a new fitness routine and become the person you always wanted to be. Instant questions that pop out are how to go about a fitness routine, when to work out and how many times a week. Last but not the least how rigorous exercise should be, duration and nutrition being primary concerns.      As I have always put forth the value of simplicity in previous articles, I will stick to the same.

Hello Fitness

             While schooling oneself towards ultimate fitness a person should keep in mind that discipline and consistent effort is all he needs.

Anybody who can’t do a basic fifty push up set and couldn’t pull himself four times above the ground level, shouldn’t enrol himself in a gym. That’s the basic fitness level required to start pumping iron.              Getting some funky gym wear and a smart phone won’t be enough. And then, the false pride and unrealistic goal setting.              Most of them have goals like, “I want to get slim for my sister’s wedding, the dead line is three months …and I won’t be that regular as well, I have the Sangeet and Mehndi coming up.
