A 30min workout in any form can definitely provide you with the results that you want to achieve. Always remember that our muscles are blind, they don't know where you're making them work, be it in a gym or somewhere else. ❤️

Hi there, I hope you are well. You can begin with a walk, and run, however it isn't equivalent of going to the gym. Walk, and run with fall under cardio and endurance activity whereas at the gym you can strength train which is needed for toning. - You can opt for body weight exercises at home itself. Squats, lunges, butt bridge, jumping jacks, plank, knee push ups, Superman can be done at home easily. - You can include some yoga, zumba as well. - Start adding weights once you are comfortable with body weight exercises. - Download a workout all from Google Play store, there are many out there. - Most importantly, increase your protein intake, fibre intake, and drink enough water, too. - Reduce the consumption of processed, packaged, and refined foods :)

As a young girl, I often feel pressured by social media to look a certain way. How can I maintain a healthy body image and make food choices that support my well-being?

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・11d

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

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 ✨
