High On Endorphins

 Greetings 🌷 I am glad that you decided to work on your body,  I will be covering workouts for all body parts separately, but this one is specifically towards ab workouts. We will read two things - the workouts of course, and the essential points to be kept in mind while doing those exercises. I will also suggest some YouTube workout videos.  Let us see the essential point to be kept in mind before we start with the exercises.  ENGAGING THE CORE   This is the most important thing to be kept in mind. While working out, all you need to do is pull your stomach inside/ towards your abdomen so that it tightens and feels stronger. When ab exercises are performed this way, it targets the abs more effectively and gives more defined abs in a short while. Try this and you will see the results in few weeks.  PUSH YOURSELF, DON'T FORCE This means that most of us want results faster than usual, so we overdo the exercises. A sincere request - please don't overdo anythin...

Even those little school children find themselves busy nowadays, so you have all my support with this. Let us go reacquaint ourselves with quick workouts to lose weight because I am sure you've decided to these before but it's normal to run out of motivation.  1. WALK, CLIMB, RUN Well, walking is a really good way to lose weight but let's be honest, you need to do a lot of it to lose weight. So, let us try something new: From today onwards (not Monday), We will set goals for the week and then keep on increasing the level as time passes. So you can start with walking a little distance to the office or back, and if the office is on the  higher floor, climb a few floors first and then take the lift, etc.  It's all about your level of comfort and determination to push forward.  2. ASK YOURSELF IF YOU'RE REALLY HUNGRY It's mostly just your ha...

 Greetings 🌼 This is something we've all been listening to since childhood, by parents, teachers, and caretakers. Since all our elders managed to mention this at least once to us, this may be something we should spend some time thinking about. Our nutrition is deteriorating visibly. And we are aware of it. We even want to change it, but guess what keeps us from achieving it?  IT'S THE FOOD WE CONSUME EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!! So let's understand what exactly " We are what we eat" means Well, we are aware of the digestive process, so, in the process of final digestion that place in our small intestine, maximum absorption of nutrition is done. So how much nutrition do you think a burger or a packed juice would provide. After the absorption of these so-called nutrients, we feed our body every day is carried to the rest of the body and also the mind.  Let's say if you ate a bowl of fresh and well-cooked vegetables intact with the nutritional value, Congratulations, yo...

Greetings Our parents' generation ate to live, but in the past few years, the concept has become the opposite. Our generation has started to earn and live just to eat. In today's time, food shouldn't just fill your stomach but also should be upload-worthy. We want the food to look good, taste good, and should contain qualities of not making one fat even when consumed in bulk. Our lifestyles promote overeating which leads to obesity and a lot of other related issues.  So let's discuss why we end up overeating even we are sure that we want to shed a few inches.  PLEASURE Eating at a good restaurant with friends and uploading pictures of the good-looking food feels really good, doesn't it? But that is one of the biggest reasons why we end up eating more than we want to and even more if you have a family waiting to eat dinner with you, you feel bad to refuse, so you eat just to keep them happy. Refusing to friends and family can be difficult, but just sitting with them ...

 Greetings 🌻 Lockdown has been tough on many people, some got extremely busy with work from home, and others got way too much free time in their hands, especially students. And in this spare time, we binge-watch or overeat, and during this lockdown, lots and lots of people ended up gaining some weight. This can be a major reason for the deterioration in self-confidence and related issues, which will difficult to deal with once everything opens up.  Confidence indeed has nothing to do with our weight, but it is also true that being FIT does contribute a great deal to our mental well-being which in turn helps boost our confidence and self-esteem.

So here are some tried and tested ways to lose that extra weight.  DO YOUR RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS ON YOURSELF  We've all done online research and analysis about nutrition, weight loss, and workouts.
