SELFLOVE

Just like anyone else,quarantine is killing me!!!I have never been this bored anytime before in my life but again,as I was telling you guys about the various things you can do in quarantine in my previous article,this boredom can be handled.Watching movies,reading,writing,cooking and blah blah blah.

But,don’t you think that you are losing your shape,just sitting and eating and doing literally nothing?

Are you one of those people who always complain about not having enough time for self care?

Then dude,this is your timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Go get that glow up which you always dreamed of!!!

So you guys,I’m going to be starting with the “SELF CARE SERIES.” This series will include all those things which I am doing for my glow up and so can you! Here is the first installation of my series-MY FITNESS ROUTINE!

Fitness,it’s not just an adjective to describe your physical state,it’s a lifestyle.Staying fit has always been on top of my priority list.It not only helps in looking lit but it also helps you with your mental well being.

My fitness routine is nothing very complex or sophisticated.It is just a simple routine which I have designed for myself after studying my body and its requirements.So,if you have plans of designing your fitness time table then this is your most important point-study your body.

Food also plays a very important role in body fitness.What you eat and how you workout, these two guys right here are the heroes of your fitness story.One synchronizes with the other to give you the right results.

When I started to design my fitness plan,I neglected my food habits and that was a big mistake.Eventually I realised this and did a little research about food habits and this showed that for a person with my lifestyle(daily workout at 17 years of age) 1800-2100 calories per day is sufficient.Then I planned a balanced diet for myself which I try to follow but yeah,I fail at times.

I started playing basketball at around 14 so,I’m not uncomfortable with high intensity workouts.I love being active during the day so that my body metabolism does not droop down.There are like a gazillion youtube videos out there which which tell you about another gazillion exercises and strategies to stay fit.You need to pick the exercise routines most suitable for your body.

My main areas of concentration while working out are abs,arms and my lower body.I have divided my fitness routine into 2 segments.One in the morning and one in the evening.

Now that we all are in quarantine there is a lot of spare time.I head out of my house in the morning and kick start my day by playing badminton with a group of friends(in a safe area).This activity warms up my body in the morning and motivates me to stay active for the rest of the day.Once I’m done I head back home and start with my first segment of workout.

In the first segment I concentrate on my arms and abs.I follow this calendar put up by Chloe Ting(https://www.chloeting.com/program/2019/lean-arms-challenge.html).This is a 3 week lean arms challenge and it is really helpful.I’ve been doing it for quite sometime and it really helps to get rid of your arm fat.

I start off with my second segment of workout in the evening.In this segment I concentrate on my lower body.I again follow a Chloe Ting fitness calendar(https://www.chloeting.com/program/2020/slim-thigh-challenge.html).This is a 25 day slim thigh challenge and the results can be seen really quick.

This finishes my second segment of workout.One more thing you guys,it is not necessary for you to find the results for your workouts within a stipulated time period.It may take a week for some but it may take a bit longer for others.Body types vary from person to person and so does the rate of metabolism.

Like I told you guys previously, food habits also play a major role in your fitness and that’s why I’m going to be sharing with you guys, my food habits.

The first thing I consume in the morning is water.So my first morning scene is “CHUG,CHUG,CHUG”!!!Then after a while I drink some hot water with lime and honey.This is really good for weight loss as it boosts up for metabolism.

My next meal is after my first segment of workout.On usual days I have something light like chapathi(2),idli(4 small),dosa(2) or beaten rice(1 cup).On a few special days when I feel like cooking something for myself,I make something fancy.Now “fancy” is subjective.For me,a sandwhich or low carb burger with an omlette or scrambled eggs is quite fancy!!So yeah, I switch between these two cuisines for my breakfast.

My next meal is a healthy snack.I munch on something which helps me to stay active and concentrate on stuff because this is the time when I’m usually studying.So it’s either some almonds or an orange depending on what’s available at home.

Next, it’s lunch.A cup of rice with some vegetable curry is my usual lunch.Water is a very essential liquid which your body needs.Drinking water as frequently as a possible is very good.

Next is my evening snack time and this is exactly when I quench my thirst for something tasty.This may include low carb pancakes,wheat cake,wheat pasta or a simple french toast.

This is usually followed by my dinner which is a light as possible.It includes foods like dosa or chapathi.

With this you guys,ends my fitness routine. It includes everything from my workouts to my eating habits.I hope this helped you guys to get an idea about planning your fitness routine or at least motivate you to exercise and eat healthy so as to stay fit.

So you guys,that was it for this one. Hope you guys liked it.

LOVE Y’ALL XOXO
