Hi! Today I'm going to write about I totally different topic which isn't related to any boring, academic subject, rather it's a very important aspect of life, i.e Fitness. The definition of fitness can be of different types depending on the location, gender, equipment etc. But the special one I am writing about today specially after the coronavirus  pandemic, is Home workout, which is gaining popularity for its comfort, flexibility and easy concept. Though it's comparatively easier, even the simpler ones need some kind of efforts and time. I don't want to talk about the fake promises that most of the advertisements would say you. So if you are up for or living a fit life and see yourself flourish in the next few years with your body and mind, brace yourself, now is the time!

Let's talk about some reality now. I didn't gain my fitness overnight. Rather I started having interest in working out (find a video of me here) in the year of 2017, when I started visiting various places frequently (mostly beaches to get jealous of the beach-fit bodies).  Apart from that I've always been a sports enthusiast having fair share of  participation and caliber in games like football or soccer, cricket, running athletics etc as I was a Cadet. So to be honest, I was always in a good shape physically but not with muscles. In the year of 2015 when I got hurt in knee while playing football,  my ligament got torn after which I had to pause my love for soccer for almost a year. Right after the operation, it was my rehabilitation phase,  where I had to do do some basic leg workouts to make myself capable of playing again. In the process,  that's when my I workout journey began. I've worked out in one of the local gyms for straight 3 years, took a lot of pictures afterwards in my trip in Goa, India followed by the best trip of my life so  for in Koh Phangan, Thailand to celebrate the new year 2020 after which the struggle for Corona started and all of our lives stopped for a while including working out in gyms.

However, as a fitness enthusiast, nothing could stop me from continuing my workouts and I transformed my room as the mini gym, for doing home workouts. Today, the impact of coronavirus has decreased but my home is still the best, most comfortable and most efficient place for me for working out. I still remember that I had to adjust my time for preparing myself, dressing up, going to the gym, performing workouts, having random gossips, then freshening up, start for home and finally reaching my bed for rest which would take and waste a lot of unnecessary times. But now I can do all of my tasks in hand, share the gossips, eat and finally have some more spare time to use productively. Diet is also an important factor, but not the most important one! As, if you workout intensively, without wasting much time, you are already burning and shredding some fats, and if you’re working out less, your mind will tell you automatically to eat less as a matter of fact, unless of course you get addicted to the junk foods. I will write a separate article on it someday.

The best part of home workout is is that you need a very little or close to nothing to start with. I remember starting my initial days using only a towel and I also Googled and found out out many helpful youtube videos  which needed no equipment at all. Later on, I added a push up bar and just two dumbbells and these are all I have now for home workout trainingsplan. Is you are starting fresh, you can look up for youtube videos of home workout for beginners no matter if you're male or female. Some of the my home workout videos and others, using towel can be found in my Youtube Channel.

I have  distributed my home workout plan in 4 days per week.  As Friday  and Saturday are weekends here in my country, I take those days off and choose any of the week days to take rest (mostly  Tuesday). My typical home workout plan includes Leg day on Sunday, Shoulder on Monday,  Biceps and back workout on Wednesday and Triceps and chest On Thursday. Usually I work out for 40 to 50 minutes at a stretch with periodical breaks in between sets and reps. Each of the set includes three reps,  for example if I want to work out on my chest,  I will do do 10 pushups, have 30-50 seconds rest,  continue more 10, rest, continue last 10, rest for a minute, start the next workout, repeat and so on. Head towards my channel to find the glimpse of my home workout video .

So, it was a brief summary of how I started working out in my mind first, took myself to a gym, built passion for it and still continued in the pandemic through home workout. I will discuss more in details about each of them one by one in my next few articles so that you can have a proper mindset to start and carry on like this too. Till then, best of luck & muscle up! 💪
