Fitness Fiend 2020(& later) for DUMMIES

Have you taken the resolutions for 2020?  Let me guess, Losing weight? Exercise daily? Less sugar intake? Less Social Media? Whatever the goals are – when the fun and frolic around Jan 1 passes, there goes the resolutions through the door/window.  I know who am I to judge the very exhilaration of people who welcomes every New Year, including me who bought a happy planner worth 999INR to my husband’s petulance. Nope, male species never likes shopping, especially when done by wives.

All my news feed, instagram and twitter timeline are filled with gym connoisseurs working out and pumping that adrenaline enough to make the person who watches to be exhausted. A girl box jumps from the floor, does a deadlift, go with a back clap push up, jumps on the pull-up rope to somersault and lands on the floor for a second rep. Hold on, She is from a GymShark ad. And it’s extremely maddening fitness addiction. Just one search of a particular workout ends in a million, thanks to google analytics.

Before enrolling ourselves into a particular torture from those sadistic trainers, let’s explore some universal excuses for not working out. No Time, No Energy and No Need (until I face some deadly disease which literally wants us to burn those gargantuan fat).

And comes the easy ways to lose fat – #Drinkwarmlemonwater #EatCleanOats #MuesliforWeightloss #Eatmoreprotein #Dietsuntildeath #MagicalEquipments. One woman I know bought a Sauna belt to reduce belly fat, which the belt vibrates the tummy and shakes vigorously. Hell knows how much bruises she ended with. There comes another set of people who says they walk endlessly inside home or wherever they work. It’s called being active and not activity. And another group says it’s not their style. Hello, there is no style in moaning on the floor after an HIIT/Crossfit. Here goes a Goundamani group who shy away from exercises or makes a joke out of anyone who does it. There isn’t any easy way, but the way your body responds to the drill simply mesmerizes you. The sore muscles create more dopamine surge than any drugs.

Did you know the general impacts of exercise aren’t about your weight or the cloth size you wear? You don’t need to go for a walk daily, when you can achieve more calorie burn by strength training. You don’t need a gym at all when you can do bodyweight workouts at home or anywhere. Milind Soman never goes to gym. Girls, you are not going to turn into Hulk Hogan and grow some extra organ by lifting weights. Expunge the myths like spot reduction, Walking is best and just a smoothie is enough. Our body has 650 to 850 muscles (roughly) and do u think you can work it out with just mindless crunches and suryanamaskars?

Changing the identity is the first step towards fitness. If you want to know more on creating a habit, I recommend reading “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. Make fitness a habit. All you need is the bloody discipline, some knowledge on exercise science and grit to do what you want to do.   

Believe me you are not gonna sit on a maankombu(deer horns) by squatting or no one is going to impose Hindi – say Ek, Dho, Theen by lifting weights or the tight pants you wear will never rip apart during side leg raise. And please don’t watch Disha Patani’s workout videos, its seriously demotivating.

Are you waiting for an inspiration or did u think I am gonna give some motivational speech here? Hey Move that ass, be it any day irrespective of the resolutions. Sitting is next smoking. And this is the predominant warning!
