Face the Truth!!!

There are so many misconceptions about working out.

I will try to write about some common things that I have heard

1) "My friend lost 4 kgs in a month. I have been going to gym for the last two months, but I have lost only 1 kg."

Understand that each body is different- what we eat, how our body reacts to what we eat, how much workout we do etc.

Don't compare with others.

Are you feeling better? Has your stamina increased? Are you able to sleep well? Are you maintaining better form during the workout? Are you able to squat better?


2) Eat less

Eating right is important. Don't keep counting calories without understanding what you are eating.
Eat real food. Stay away from packed / processed food.

3) Spot reduction

Eat well. Exercise regularly. You will become fit. Don't focus on losing weight in one part. Focus on complete fitness

4) Women should not lift weights

Lifting weights improves bone health and tones your body.
Don't be scared of the weights ladies!!!

Welcome to the real world!

Here is wishing you good luck in your fitness journey
