To stay motivated and overcome plateaus in your fitness journey, set realistic goals, vary your workouts, find a workout buddy for accountability, track your progress, celebrate achievements, and consider consulting a fitness professional for personalized guidance.

For me over the years I have figured company makes a huge impact…. U visit such places like parks , studio classes or gyms , make friends with people who love to work out …. The ambiance and people there are there for the similar mostly & also even if they give their 50 percent there it still helps for u to stay consistent and yes include strength, flexibility & cardio work, eat to nourish your body , don’t deprive yourself, eat what’s important for the body ur macro s like carbs, protein, fat , minerals, vitamins it’s important to consume that and avoid processed, refined sugar & maida ….. all these go a long way ….

It's okay to feel pressure, but don't let it affect you. Follow self-care practices and limit your use of social media because, as you know, not everything online is the same

I have gone through it, we often take social media seriously. But dear let me tell you it's all illusion. You are beautiful in your own way. You must try to be better version of yourself instead of trying to compete with others.

I've heard about tracking steps for fitness, but how do I actually make it fun and not just another chore? Any cool apps or gadgets you recommend that won't break the bank ?

For those interested in more comprehensive fitness tracking, devices like FitBit Flex and Jawbone UP combine wristbands with mobile apps to track heart rate, activity, sleep patterns, and even food intake.

For smartphone users, Google Fit, Samsung Health, and the 3DTriSport pedometer are popular choices. Google Fit and Samsung Health offer step tracking, cycling tracking, and other fitness features, while the 3DTriSport pedometer provides accurate step tracking.

Hi there, I hope you are well. I hear you, and you are not alone :) Here's how you can adopt a healthier lifestyle. - Firstly, understand that you just don't have to go on a diet to lose weight. Rather, you need to adopt a lifestyle which will stay with you for longer. - Along with a balanced diet, you need to incorporate exercise ( for 4-5 times a week, 30mins at least) , drink enough water ( 8-10 glasses), sleep well( 7-8hrs), and manage stress ( by meditation or yoga). - Enjoy the food that you consume, and take small bites, and chew your food well. - Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, eggs, lean meat, wholegrains, dairy and dairy products to your diet. Avoid restricting a particular food group. - Eat your favourite foods once in a while, so that you aren't missing on to anything. - Avoid distractions during meal time. Keep your phone, tab, and laptop away. - Learn to practice moderation and stick to your portions rather than over-indulging :)

I'm too going through this. What I have realised is lowering your eating portion and doing walk helps

My school classmates forced me to send my pictures on our group chat as we had not seen each other since long, but when I did post them, they started telling me how much I have changed and how much weight I have gained. This has made me feel terrible about myself but I don’t want it to effect me. What do I do??

Ofcourse you must have gained weight since you met them last,and I am assuming it was many years back. If you were conscious about yourself, you would not have send the pics, the fact is rhat you are not liking their opinions about yourself. Have that clarity, and don't let others opinions affect you negatively....be confident as what you are.

Anonymous・7d

don't be afraid of judgements or criticism from others but be mindful that you don't do the same to yourself... be your best friend 😍❤️ Appreciate yourself often . shower yourself with unconditional love then what others say won't have an negative effect on you...and you have your power back

intimacycoachsampadafotedar・-7d

Hi. Hope you are doing good! A sedentary lifestyle, especially as a working individual can have negative consequences. To beat this, form a proper, doable routine for yourself. Wake up and have some water. Go for a half an hour walk and come back. Take a shower and hop into the kitchen to prepare some healthy breakfast for yourself. Between your work, make sure you take 5-10 min out for short walks or stretches. Basically some form of movement is very important. Take your lunch on time In the evenings, you can take a work break and water plants, dust the furniture, etc. you can even go for a walk. Have your dinner on time and try to sleep early. If you incorporated exercise in your routine, you will probably fall asleep early. Make sure you read a few pages of some book before you sleep

hey Anonymous. one needs to be physically fit, not to please anyone but for urself. Being overweight should not be the reason for your insecurities . You need to accept yourself first only then others will accept you if you feel you are loosing urself trying to fit in... ask yourself what is it that you are doing that's creating discomfort within you ... identify and work on it.. good luck 👍

Hi there, I hope you are well. - Motivation will usually last for a few days or weeks, however, discipline can last forever. - To lose weight, you will have to bring in discipline in your daily routine. - You need to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically. - Stay determined that you won't give up and start by making small changes in your routine. - Start by incorporating more fibre in the diet. Eat two servings of fruits, a bowl of salad for lunch as well as dinner daily. - Avoid packaged, ultra-processed and refined foods. - Eat in portions. - Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. - Add protein to each of your meals, even snacks. - Have mid-meals or healthy snacks. - Start your morning with handful nuts, or seeds. - Keep a tab on your salt, sugar, and oil intake. - Have home-made meals that are easier to digest. - Get at least 7-8hrs of sleep on a regular basis. - Go for a walk at least 4 times a week. - Manage stress levels my meditation and yoga. I hope this helps ✨
