I will share 3 simple steps which I took while embarking on the journey of getting healthier.

I have always been an athlete and a sportsperson, but after getting infected with Covid followed by Typhoid, and without physical activity, my weight multiplied after recovery.

Path to Fitness

I made 3 simple changes in my lifestyle which anyone can follow.

Step 1: Change the mindset to act — cut the bulls**t excuses

The first change must be in mind to become fit. In the process, you have to stop telling yourself all the bulls**t talk of starting workout after next week, this event, that event, and all. The action has to be taken now.

Step 2: Workout 45 mins every morning 6 days a week

I had incorporated strength training and HIIT to lose weight as they are the effective way to lose weight compared to cardio. My workout routine is as below:

  1. Warmup — skipping rope, squats, pushups
  2. Strength training in morning 5 days a week
  • Target the body part — Chest, Shoulder, Arms, Legs, Back
  • Reduce the resting period to 30–60 seconds
  • Maintain the intensity and form
  1. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on 1 day for functional
  2. Surya Namaskar for stretching and breathing

Step 3: Eliminating all the junk food

The final step is to ditch junk food and have homemade vegetarian food. Besides, I have 25 g of whey protein immediately after workout.

With these small change, I am on the way to best shape of my life and you can too.
