Shilpa Shetty Performed Yoga And Shared Tips at an Event in Jaipur The beauty is that people often come here for the stretch and leave with a lot more

I have been into fitness since 9 years and I love my profession and I am fully dedicated towards my work. It’s actually not my source of earning money but my passion. In Jaipur there was a Yoga event for two days (Saturday and Sunday) by Shilpa Shetty Kundra with her Guru. I couldn’t able to attend Saturday event due to my busy work Schedule so I attended only Sunday session. Shilpa Shetty shared some Yoga tips at an event in Jaipur at SMS INVESTMENT GROUND. There was a huge gathering. I think this session had given a great platform to promote Fitness to such a large global audience. Shilpa Shetty performed Yoga and shared tips to keep the body healthy. She asked the participants to practice Yoga daily in the morning and have good eating habits. At this age also (41 years old actress) relies on healthy diet and yoga for her perfect figure and health. She is so energetic. She told Yoga keeps our body peaceful, free from stress, improves posture, flexibility and helps in balancing. She told every movement of yoga should be performed by feeling it.

FEEL EVERY POSE

The yoga requires a lot of stamina and dedication. She also told that those who are suffering from any kind of disease, like diabetes or back problem needs to practice yoga regularly. Post 30’s, most women usually start to age much faster. They start to develop wrinkles. They start to easily gain weight. And the body starts to become weak. But then there are still those celebrities who still manage to stay gorgeous and fit at such age. Nothing, be it age, pregnancy or weight seems to affect them like Shilpa who reduced lots of weight after her pregnancy.

Top 5 Healthy Morning Breakfast Drinks for Weight Loss At Home The 5 super morning drinks you can consume in order to lose weight and remain hydrated all through the day.

When we think about a healthy diet, the question is from where should we begin? It’s not easy to leave our Indian spicy food and switch to those salads all of a sudden. So, where we can begin is from choosing a habit of drinking these super morning drinks. What morning habits we Indians have is that, we consume tea or coffee as soon as we get up. Which is not right because with this we are consuming lots of calories early morning. Also, caffeine intake empty stomach is one habit which you should never get into. But instead of that, we can switch to some weight loss drinks which are advised to take ’empty stomach’. The drinks we are mentioning here helps boosting metabolism instantly. Like if you fall in a habit of consuming these daily, you will feel the change. They remove toxins from your body and are well known for being antioxidant agents or work as detox drinks.

Things to Consider Before Joining Gym: What Orthopedist Says! Interview with Dr. Vishal Gupta (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon)

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE JOINING GYM: WHAT ORTHOPEDIST SAYS!

Gyms were a different scenario a few years back. They were attraction for the youth who were into bodybuilding and aged between 20-35 years. But now, after the evolution of these fancy health clubs, people of different ages have shown interest in joining gyms. People from the age of 20 to as old as 60 years are into fitness. And during such age, that is after 40 years, we start to experience different kinds of pains and stress in our bodies.

Therefore, we should consider a few things before joining gym. Consulting a Doctor is not at all a bad suggestion.
If we are joining gym for the first time, many factors related to our health should be taken in view.
I, along with Dr Vishal Gupta, a well known orthopedist of the town, have tried to answer a few common questions one might put before getting into any gym. As gyms have certified trainers now, Doctors suggest their patients to go for gyming to achieve fitness. Here I have asked Dr Gupta a few common problems my clients face in gym and he have tried his best to help my clients out.

1. Should I stop working out the moment I start feeling knees pain or any kind of pain? And if not, then what kind of exercises should I avoid?

Ans: As quoted by Dr. Gupta, “One should never just stop working out completely one experiences knee pain. However, if there is pain below medial joint line, or if tenderness occurs, then a few exercises could be avoided. Those exercises should be the ones which exerts pressure on such joint line. Such as, squats, lunges should be avoided. Dr. Gupta also said, if you are overweight, you should definitely avoid high impact exercises, which are running, jumping-jacks, stepper and high-knee.

15 Minutes Weight Loss Workout for Beginners at Home – Day 1 Exercise-at-Home Free Weight Loss Workout Plan for Beginners

There are two types of people :

One’s who love working out and are crazy to go at gyms. And the one’s, who equally love working out but are not able to go gym due to many reasons. Lately, the second category is more common. I myself have been told by clients who like to stay fit and can go for exercises, but aren’t regular at gyms or are not able to go gyms. And the reasons being

  • lack of time
  • do not have facilities of a fancy gym nearby
  • who have problem with the word ‘gym’  itself as they don’t want to be associated with the one’s who go gym.

These clients often ask me if there are any equipment-free exercises which they could perform at home on regular basis and can stay fit. So, I along with Team B2zone, are going to introduce a series of work out which can be performed at home on regular basis. The series consists of a 3 video circuit. All the 3 videos will be comprising of the exercises which you can perform at home without equipments or machines. You can follow a schedule of performing exercises on Day1 (first video), Day2(second video) and Day3(third video). A day’s rest then, that is day 4. And repeat the circuit on Day 5, 6 and 7.

We are done with the first video and it had been uploaded as well. The circuit of the first video is to be followed for 6 weeks and then you can opt for the next video of the series. This workout schedule will help you build strength and stamina and will boost up your endurance. I hope you will follow this regularly. If any questions, leave in the comment section or drop the question on our discuss forum. Team B2Zone will guide you in the best possible ways.

TOP 5 VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOURCES Best Vegan and Vegetarian Protein Sources

TOP 5 VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOURCES

For a non-vegetarian, consuming protein is an easy task. They do not have search for different options in order to intake protein in their meals. But, for a vegetarian, the intake of protein is less. Although, the sources are in abundance, but their knowledge about such protein sources is less. Protein is the primary necessity of our bodies. Vegetarian protein, also known as plant-based protein is available in variety of foods. And here, I have tabled top 5 such sources, which I even suggest my clients who are on off-meat diets. Also, the standard protein quantity which will guide them is stated further.

#1 SOY:

Soy is derived from soybean, which is one of the best plant-based protein sources. The protein content in soybean is very high as compared to other sources and is known as ‘soy-protein’.  Various soy products such as tofu (paneer made out of soy milk), soy milk, soy flour are all rich protein sources.

Top 5 Natural Fat Burning Foods Here are best Fat-Burning foods for weight loss

Food and weight loss! Yes, that’s completely right. But, only the right food. Right food which are in abundance of good fat, should be included in our diet to shed off weight. Such good fat helps you build muscles which, in turn, will help you shed off some kgs. While counselling my clients over their diet, I guide them to inculcate a few good fat food. And during that, I observe that their knowledge of such food is very less. So, here I got a list of top 5 food which will help you Shed those extra pounds and will help in building body in right way.

#1: Green tea

green-tea

Green tea for weight loss has now become a worldwide phenomenon. This is because green tea helps in boosting metabolism while burning fats; and its key antioxidant ‘Catechins’ are said to be mainly responsible for the burning of these fats. Now a days, many celebrities suggest the intake of green tea for weight loss.

#2: Oats

oats

If you’re looking to lose weight, it’s time to skip the sugar-laden cereal, and start enjoying a hot comforting bowl of oats in the morning. It’s backed by science: A small study found that those who ate oats daily for six weeks had a greater decrease in cholesterol levels and waist size than those who ate the same amount of carbs in noodles over the same time period. It keeps you satisfied: There’s no need to reach for an unhealthy convenience snack in the morning when you’ve got oats on your side; it offers the calories and fibre you need to stay satisfied all morning long. Unlike sugary breakfast cereals full of refined carbs, the body digests oats at a slower pace, keeping blood sugar levels steady, energy up, and hunger away.

#3 Peanut Butter!

Like Olive oil, Coconut oil and a few nuts, Peanut butter is a good fat provider to your body. It provides you the right amount of fat you need while working out. It helps you build muscles and that is where weight loss occurs. Usually, weight loss requires you to exercise more and eat fewer calories. This creates a calorie deficit that forces your body to burn body weight for energy. In the process of eating less, higher calorie foods are usually avoided. Peanut butter intake will fulfill that requirement of your body. But after all, it’s fat. So taking in tablespoons of it won’t help. It should be taken in right amount and at right time. Also, instead of going for peanut butters available in market, homemade peanut butter can also be consumed. It will be fresh and it will contain the right amount of fats.

#4 Lemons

lemons

Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. Studies have shown people who maintain a more alkaline diet, do in fact lose weight faster. I personally find it more beneficial to drink warm lemon water first thing every morning and suggest my clients the same.

#5 Whey Protein

whey-protein

Regular gym-goers are sure to have noticed muscly guys tossing back a protein shake straight after their workout and it’s true that many bodybuilders use whey protein to assist with building muscle.  But don’t be fooled by this stereotype, whey protein can also be a useful aid in weight-loss for both men and women.Whey protein is basically a convenient alternative to whole foods that can be supplemented in our diets.

But before you stock up and start drinking protein shakes on top of your regular diet, you need learn how it can be used in a weight loss program. For that, You can check our previous blog.
