Lets be Practical

Believe it or not, I too have been there, done it. Yes, I mean all the mistakes a start-up fitness freak would do. 

To begin with an expensive fitness center membership , I am sure the fitness centers make more money from the people who walk-in only for subscriptions and not for workouts...I admit by all means that I have whole-heartedly done that contribution.

The place not only had all the amenities that one could think of , a swimming pool a full fledged fitness center with 10 treadmills, all the things you need for weight training a place to run around, racquet ball etc etc etc. but also quite a number of good looking people , you know what i mean...I was like wow this is the place I need to be in... This is where am going to wake up to every morning without fail from TOMORROW... Yeah Every living being would have taken this resolution at least once in his /her life time. Don't you think so?

It did not take me long to realize that getting into proper workout gear, and driving my car to the fitness center could be so so so difficult. I was so frustrated as it was getting tougher and tougher but I had to keep going. The weather wasn't helping either at a stage I was finding reasons to avoid getting ready and to go. 

Woke up after a week which seemed like a decade to me realizing that I have more reasons for not driving to the gym than not going to the grocery store . Realizing that there should be more ways to stay strong than going to fitness centers, a bit of home googling helped me realize the traditional forms of workouts works out better than the machines. 

My laundry man in India is still not aware of the fact that machines can make you run and still does not let you move an inch. Yet he seems so fit and fine. Just a small chat and realized fitness is more than fitness centers

So what did I learn, Some workouts where you use your body weight for everything no weights no fancy machines that occupy your living room. All I needed was myself and a pull up bar and I did not have to block my calender to get to the fitness center anymore nor did I have to change into a proper gear.

Below are some of the workouts that you could do anywhere anytime and some tricks that help you shape your body better

1) Push Ups

2) Sit Ups

3) Jump Sit Ups

4) Stand Up Crunches

5) Cycling Crunches

6) Lunges

7) Skipping

8) Frog Jumping in the living room

Another age old trick that my friend taught me, never let your body get used to a routine, So I kept changing my workout time, the work outs themselves. Stay connected to this space for more on each of these workouts.
