Squats: One exercise form you need to master

  I started to learn about various exercise forms when I was very young. I understood it very early that body weight exercises and functional training should become an integral part of our daily routine. I am a kind of person who has never thought of getting a gym membership, my curiosity and enthusiasm for body training made me research for various exercise forms at the comfort of my home and thanks to internet I found a lot of information about so many exercise forms and routines just at the touch of my fingers. I taught myself almost every kind of exercise forms and workout routine through daily practice. I learnt high intensity interval training, Yoga, body weight and functional training, resistance training, cardio kickboxing. The only thing I couldn’t learn at home was swimming for which I had to step out and take its proper classes. Hence I can positively say with my several years of experience that one of the best exercise forms which have proved its amazing resul...

I recently turned into a lacto-vegetarian

Last year in the month of February I decided to completely stop eating poultry, meat, eggs and sea food. I took that decision deliberately as I started observing and noticing different facets of my personality and my well being. I had already taken a break from every kind of distractions in my life and I had tons of questions to ask and you could say that I finally begun my journey of self discovery at the age of 26. Therefore, I sat with myself and asked myself several set of questions: what are the things which I want in life, what makes me happy, what do I really love doing and what is my one goal in life. Hey, don’t worry it isn’t one of those philosophical blog! One of the things which really intrigue me is nutrition and fitness, I am always looking for the benefits and harmful effects of different kinds of vegetables, fruits and other dietary sources and simultaneously making time for working out while trying different forms of workouts and so much so that I started sel...

Role of mindful breathing in prevention of mental illnesses

Its 3:00am at the night when it’s dark and lonely, I am unable to sleep and there starts my endless cycle of unnecessary thoughts and mindless negative feelings related my past experience, loss, fear of failure and future what follows right after that are several episodes of breathlessness, palpitations and nervousness. At daytime these episodes are mostly masked with pretentiousness, work and chores. I finally decided to find out about the root cause of the problem, I took help and my psychiatrist advised me to attain clarity in life; as there is no sense of purpose and only confusion and stress that’s why I am getting such physical symptoms as an outpour of overly filled jug. I sat with myself to realize that I have clarity to ask for help, I have enough clarity decide to consult a psychiatrist: I have clarity to exercise, eat what is right for me and to read and write yet I don’t have clarity in my life? Strange The easiest way to identify what is your life purpose is not to just re...

Yoga: Union of my inner self with my innate being

  I am naturally a very impulsive person it takes a second to infuriate me on anything which is trying to tell me the opposite of my thought process, on the other hand I am very empathetic and I have this innate quality of being a nurturer. Is it possible to have these diametrically opposite attributes to be present in an individual? Does that make me a hypocrite? As a human being we have the ability to possess all kinds of traits however it is upon us to control which behavior is working for us and which one is functioning against us. It’s as simple as deciding which clothes to buy or which food to eat? As long as we know our body type and we know which attire complements/attenuates our persona likewise when we know which food will not ruin our digestive system and benefit us as compared to unhealthy indulgence which will only provide us with momentarily dopamine rush but empty calories. To be truthful there is only that one hour of the day where I feel I am completely attun...

Lift weights to Uplift yourself

  No matter whatever we all say or do, it all comes down to one main thing which is the most pivotal part of our being. What do you think I am talking about? Is it the way you look. Or how you dress. Or the way you talk. To be honest none of it is truly significant, what is really matters at the end of the day is how you feel about yourself. Yes you read it right, don’t you already know it?  Let us figure out what makes us feel good. What is it? Binging on junk, watching TV or Netflix, vacations, shopping, reading and the list goes on. Phew  Have ever wonder that  for how long these ‘feel good’ feelings last? Indeed they are all transitory and ephemeral what actually makes us feel good is a purpose which we align ourselves with and that makes us sparkle from within. What would really support our purpose and make us want to achieve greatness in our lives is our precious health which we all tend to negate or ignore for the want of temporary fulfillment.  To ...
