❤️❤️ ENDORPHINS FIXES EVERYTHING ❤️❤️

I was getting the blues from this lockdown today, I am otherwise doing OK…

I probably got out from the wrong side of the bed, I don’t know. But as soon as I finished my workout today (for which I had to push myself real hard!! and it was Upper Body today💪), my mood took 180 degrees turn! Works like magic every time. 💁‍♀️👯‍♀

Many of you would relate to this feeling! Sure, I get lazy, I get demotivated, I get sick, I get the blues… but I always get back to it. I workout for my body and mind and it works for me 🤗😇

☘️When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called Endorphins... Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, like that of morphine. If you’ve heard of a “runner’s high” you might already know about the link between exercise and endorphin release.

But exercise doesn’t just work on Endorphins. Regular physical activity can also increase your dopamine and serotonin levels, making it a great option to boost your happy hormones.

Are you sailing in the same boat? You now know what to do.. Come on and get moving👯‍♀️⛹️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🧘‍♀️🤾‍♀️🏊‍♀️… Trust me, it helps!!

Keep Rocking!!😉

⭐️⭐️My journey from a Fitness enthusiast to a Postpartum mumma to a Fitness Trainer.⭐️⭐️ Hello friends, you would have seen my previous posts regarding my weight loss journey after the illness as well as post-partum.
Today I wanna talk about my own journey, how my zeal to lose those extra kilos gained after my baby was born, to learn the science behind it, and my interest and passion towards health and fitness became my profession.

Yes, it was my second weight loss journey (1st being the one after my illness with Pott’s spine) which was more focused on my overall strength and fitness and not just loosing weight. It was a very logical and practical approach targeting my goals.

When an opportunity to convert my interest and passion to profession knocked by door, I grabbed it without a second thought.

Yes, I did loose over 14kgs till date (Down from 72.5 kgs to 58 kgs 😇), at a very decent pace with No Fad diets, a well-balanced diet fitting into my macros and a 5-6 days weight training routine, close to zero cardio. Still working on my strength, long way to go!! Special mention to excess flab on my tummy, working towards that too :P

Btw I am now flaunting my old dresses which I wore pre-pregnancy and those look more flattering than ever before 🤩

Girls, with my experience and learning, I am now super motivated to help you as your PT, to achieve your goals, whether it is losing few kilos, fitting into your favorite dress or pant, gaining some lean muscles or strength, or just acquiring a healthy lifestyle.💪🙌 For one on one coaching with me, DM me..

Painful knees can derail your fitness goals and leave you feeling frustrated 😐😓. I was also sailing in the same boat.. or should I say, still am!! After bearing all the pregnancy weight and undergoing tons of changes in the body postpartum (be it physical, hormonal or emotional), this doesn’t come as a surprise to me. Yes, our joints too get affected!!
According to the studies, you can help reduce the stress on your knee joint by focusing on exercises for strengthening your knees which do not affect the knee joint directly, but they strengthen the muscles surrounding it, your hamstrings, quadriceps, calf and glutes.

Some important tips: • If you want to strengthen your legs and prevent further damage, you'll need to be very careful about the exercises you do. 👉 Choose low-impact: Plyometrics aren't for you. Stick to exercises that don't include jumping or sudden, explosive movements. Too much impact can cause pain and further damage to sensitive knee joints. 👉 Avoid heavy weights: Lots of extra weight will put unnecessary pressure on the knees. You don't need to lift a lot of weight to build muscle and strength. 👉 Reign in your ego: This goes back to not being able to do what everyone else around you are doing. It doesn't matter. You can get strong without squatting 400 pounds. 👉 Focus on contraction: Contracting the muscles throughout the exercise will give you more bang for your buck with less weight. There are many inexpensive gears like Resistance bands, resistance loop or b***y bands and sliders which can help in getting that extra tension and burn required to work a targeted muscle. 👉 Work within your range: If moving your knee in a certain direction causes pain, don't do it. Stay within your comfortable range of motion.

Consider physiotherapy exercise for knee pain. The physical therapist will be able to give you specific exercises you can do that will not exacerbate your condition.

Don’t be afraid to get Strong💪. I’ll do a body good and it’ll build nice curves. And even better than that, Muscle feels good🔥. From my experience as a trainer, women who come to me are sometimes scared of getting too big from weight training. Would I look Manly if I lift weights or what If I stop lifting weights, would I gain more fat that before? 👉Answer is NO. Neither do we grow man like muscles, nor does workout increase weight gain if we lose track.

Right nutritional clubbed with right workout regimen is the answer, whether you want to lose fat or gain muscles.

Remember that body fat will take up more space than muscle. For those who want to lose body fat, your nutrition habits will be most important. But the Goal in the gym (or at home right now for everyone) should remain the same: GET STRONGER, MOVE BETTER, BE YOUR BEST. 🏋️‍♀️💪😇 💪
