Weights wait! Wait weights!

 The exercise you're doing can help determine what weight you use The weight you use should correspond to the strength of the muscles you're working. For example, your glutes are very powerful, so you can probably go pretty heavy with a weighted squat or deadlift. "However, if you are working the back of your shoulders with a posterior fly, you may need to go lighter because it is a smaller, weaker muscle group,". "Consider the muscle group that you're working and make sure you choose a weight that challenges the muscles without compromising form." Sense a theme here? The form above everything! There are many different types of weights you can use in a strength workout (including dumbbells, barbells, sandbags, and kettlebells), and that may determine how heavy you go for any given exercise, while your dumbbell is evenly loaded on both sides, making for a stable and symmetrical piece of equipment, the sand in a sandbag will shift as you move it around. Th...

The secret of king's meal !

 It’s not a good idea to stay empty stomach log long. Instead, have smart meals. Calculate your BMR (Basal Metabolic rate) by browsing on the internet and know your calories intake.  There's an old saying: “Breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper.” So let’s talk about breakfast, why is it important to break our fast? It is important to break the overnight fasting period. You must have heard our grandmother yelling at our generation for not having heavy breakfast. I believe you all must have faced it. Even then most of us go to college, school and at our working place without breaking our fast.  It should be the heaviest meal one should have in the entire day. It replenishes the supply of glucose to boost our attentiveness and energy level and provides essential nutrients for good health.  Well, what if we divide your three major meals into 5 or more meals. Then most of us will be thinking instead of maintaining our calorie intake, we will end...

Eat! what ever you want to, have the courage to burn it!

    Quick Run-through: This pandemic has affected many lives. Many chaps have worked on themselves and are fit and healthy but on another side, some have become lazy brats and I am one of them.  My Experience: I can recall the last quarter of 2019 when I was fit & healthy my sir (gym trainer )used to say “EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO EAT, BUT HAVE THE COURAGE TO BURN THOSE CALORIES " and this statement is written on my heart.  A Myth: I have heard many people saying if you will leave gym, you will gain back and all the hard work you did to stay fit & healthy will go in vain.  My opinion for this myth: I would say it depends on you, whether you want your life to be driven by such a statement or you can control your tongue. A long time back in a study, I read 80% is your (diet, good sleep) and 20% your workout which has an impact on your body.  No matter if you have left the gym you may gain by two or three kilograms. Trust me that will be a fault of y...
