The Ultimate 10 Minutes Workout Guide by Fitstt
Do you find yourself saying “I’ll definitely start working out from tomorrow” or “I’m always stuck in meetings and office, I don’t have time to workout”. Well you’re not alone. Modernisation and globalization increased the GDP of the nation but at the cost of our health! As per the recent studies, 40% of Indian urban women are obese and over 12% men are obese. These shocking statistics are a wake up call, to introspect our relations with our bodies.
Our emotional and psychological needs have evolved. This evolution has also taken a toll on our bodies. Our emotional eating habits have led us to believe that when sad, happiness can be found in a pint of ice cream or in a bag of chips. We fail to recognise this as a temporary solution to a bigger problem. These habits accumulate fat in our bodies, especially in the form of belly fat, and lead to multitude of problems.
On top of all this our busy schedules have a hold on us like never before. Even when we try to squeeze in our gym workout or chalk down time for completing our step goal, the majority of us fail to adhere to them.
