Fitness Plant Based Protein Powder To Your Rescue !!

August 26, 2017 Radhika Bose

For the longest time I thought that only body builders drank protein shakes. In fact I was of the opinion that they only drank protein shakes with raw eggs in it and flexed their muscles in front of the mirror all day!! Big hulky men obsessing over which protein power is the best!! LOL Suffice to say, not something I was very keen on trying. My fitness style is more holistic and less dependent on supplements and machines. Protein shakes were not my cup of tea. Processed with VSCO with a6 preset But everywhere I went,…

Fitness My Fitness Mantra

June 29, 2017 Radhika Bose

MY FITNESS MANTRA Fitness and has always been a part of my life. I started working out and eating right from the time I was in school. There isn’t a single diet that I haven’t followed. Be it no carbs, high protein, or only carbs and nothing else. Doing fruit cleanses or a GM diet. By the way, I do not recommend GM to anyone! Invariably, I would skip meals, especially breakfast. I wanted to lose weight quickly, so what better way to do it than to just not eat. Not Eat! – that’s where I got it wrong! I…

I am constantly asked about stretches to tone up or lose weight from the legs ! Let be honest here, we all want those toned, skinny legs but not everyone can get it and that’s absolutely fine. You are built a certain way, lets call it genetics. Your body type is different from a 5’10 super model with long thin legs. Stop competing with that person. Stop berating your body. Stop finding faults in it all the time. Your health is what matters not your thigh gap. I always say how legs have concentrated fat stored. Not like the belly…
