In the process of losing weight and staying fit, women often end up making mistakes like eating too less, not working out as per their body type and expecting instant results. It is essential to concentrate on having a balanced diet comprising all the nutrients, and compliment it with regular workouts by making exercise a fun activity rather than a boring task. “Fitness is a long and tedious process, especially for women who have to deal with weight loss. With a personal trainer guiding the aspirant throughout the session, the users are motivated to work out every day and also have an efficient session of burning more,” said Ankit Gupta, co-Founder of Ludis, India’s first audio fitness training app. Here’s a fitness guide for the new-age women who are too caught up with their work, having no time for fitness: 1. Healthy Breakfast- a must! A healthy breakfast with the inclusion of fiber and glucose is imperative to retain energy for the entire day. Out of all the three-time meals, breakfast is the most important one which should be light, healthy and nutritious.

Whether you’re looking for motivation to start exercising, or are interested in changing up your current routine, here are 10 tips for making exercise a daily habit. Piece your workout together. You don’t need to get all your exercise at one time. Ten minutes morning, noon, and night can give much of the same benefit as 30 minutes all at once. Exercise with a friend. Finding a workout partner can help keep you on track and motivate you to get out the door. Keep it brisk. When you walk, make it brisk, since this may help control weight better than walking at a leisurely pace. What is brisk enough? Walk as though you are meeting someone for lunch and you are a little late. Move your feet before you eat. Hit the gym or go for a 20-minute walk with coworkers, and have lunch afterward. Try a pedometer. Step-counters (pedometers) are an easy, inexpensive way to motivate yourself to be active. Work up to 10,000 steps per day. Turn off the TV, computer, and smart phone. Cutting back on screen time is a great way to curb your “sit time.” Move around instead, by visiting the gym or even cleaning […]

People typically lower their risks of heart disease and premature death far more by gaining fitness than by dropping weight. For better health and a longer life span, exercise is more important than weight loss, especially if you are overweight or obese, according to an interesting new review of the relationships between fitness, weight, heart health and longevity. The study, which analyzed the results of hundreds of previous studies of weight loss and workouts in men and women, found that obese people typically lower their risks of heart disease and premature death far more by gaining fitness than by dropping weight or dieting. The review adds to mounting evidence that most of us can be healthy at any weight, if we are also active enough. I have written frequently in this column about the science of exercise and weight loss, much of which is, frankly, dispiriting, if your goal is to be thinner. This past research overwhelmingly shows that people who start to exercise rarely lose much, if any, weight, unless they also cut back substantially on food intake. Exercise simply burns too few calories, in general, to aid in weight reduction. We also tend to compensate for some portion […]

According to Harvard researchers, we shouldn’t stop exercising when we are older. It is our body that asks for it … Stop exercising and physical activity as an elderly person? No, this is not a good idea: we humans have evolved so that we can be active even in the so-called third age. To say it is a very serious study from Harvard University … Exercise as an elderly person – A team of evolutionary biologists and biomedical researchers from the famous American university – which also included Aaron Baggish, the cardiologist of the American national football team – a few days ago presented a series of evolutionary and biomedical evidence showing that keeping active even in old age is foreseen precisely by that complex and wonderful mechanism which is evolution. According to scholars, we human beings have evolved to remain active all our life and doing physical activity later in the years causes the body to use the energy it accumulates with food in the right way, instead of using it against itself. This mechanism protects us from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some types of cancer. Being active even in old age: […]

A big chest is a dream come true for many people and so if you too want to build it in the least possible time then these 3 exercises are going to help you achieve that in no time. Decline bench press The traditional form of the heavy bench press is done on flat surfaces so that doesn’t usually help in building mass for your chest. However, if you do the decline pressing it will help you get a better contraction on the chest along with very little shoulder engagement. In order to simulate the growth, you need to use a rep range that is going to be in between 8 to 12 with a 3-second eccentrics so that the pecs are put under a lot of mechanical tension. Handles less incline cable flyes Flyes are great for building pecks. If you perform them along with cables then you will find the tension highly targeted on the chest region.
