Are you working towards achieving your summer bod? Surviving on grilled chicken & salads? Working out 100 hrs a week? But does doing all this make you feel happy & energised or does it make your body stronger?

Since the beginning of time, exercise has always been associated with weight loss or building six-pack abs & huge muscles, but in reality, it is about having a healthy, flexible body that functions at its best.

When we work out we lose fat, gain muscle, our bodies become stronger and more flexible. The true testament to your fitness is how far your body has come since you started. How many more push-ups can you do, how flexible are you during yoga poses or how much weight are you now squatting. It’s time to stop staring at the scale & start focusing on your fitness growth.

Let’s stop focusing on all the way that we are holding ourselves back when it comes to fitness and health. Even during this lockdown, we can keep pursuing our goals, just need to modify the methods. Stop believing these myths and find your own fitness journey!
