There has been perpetual debate between those who diet to reduce and those who exercise to lose weight and be fit. Especially when we are constantly told that healthy bodies are made 70% in the kitchen and 30% at the gym, most wonder why we should even bother to exercise. Having studied nutrition and been […]
Whoever said it wasn’t, possible to workout at home just wanted an excuse not to. We often prioritize ourselves last and our own health even further down the line. One would probably make time out of a busy schedule to watch a movie (3hrs), go to a restaurant (2hrs), a quick parlor visit (1hr) but

“You are kidding right!!”My first reaction to Swapneel walking across to me holding the kettlebell. I had seen some videos on Instagram and had promptly forwarded them to him earlier in the week and now he was using them as leverage.
