I always focused on my fitness and tried my level best to maintain it. Yes, it is very important to be fit and active irrespective to your age. But the fact is when you grow up and involve in other responsibilities, it become little harder to spare time for yourself and especially when it comes to your health and fitness. I won’t say it is impossible but it is not that easy to focus and spend time in maintaining body.
Since childhood, I want to join Army so, I started pushups and ups & downs in early age. I used to jog and run in the fields, always try to keep my body strong and fit. At the age of 15, I started body building with some basic steps at home. Mainly work on my tummy and sides to be in shape. I was one of them who just got fat due to breathing, on the other hand, I am a food lover as well so, it is necessary for me to exercise in order to maintain my living standard.
I still remember that when I was a student, I successfully used to get time for my fitness and even used to walk for an hour after dinner. However, jogging in the morning before breakfast was on and off, not regular. I just love those days and that routine. It feels so good to be fit and look awesome.
I joined gym and did proper body building. One thing I would like to share is that I never did or tried to be a proper body builder, I just used to do simple and basic exercises in order to maintain my body shape, not to look over size body builder. There is a very thin line between both of them, never used any food supplement or mega mass powders to pump up the body or never took help to lift more weights, always kept weights to limit which can be lifted by myself easily without any help. This gives me mental and physical relaxation.
Things were changed when I started job. 9 to 6 job gives too much stress and tiredness, due to which it is not easy to work out on regular basis. Slowly it takes me far away from gym and I just keep on thinking to join gym or start work out someday. Now is the time I started gaining too much weight. I again tried to start with some basic exercise in the morning at home but unable to do it on regular basis. I was little worried but then my eldest bro told me about keto diet which is very helpful and keeps you fit and strong at the same time.
Yes, now was the time I did keto diet for almost 2 months and lose around 16 kg weight. It was so easy and magical. The plan was to start gymming after 2 months keto diet but after losing weight, I thought I won’t get weight again LOL which was my mistake. I had so much in my life that I know the secrets and can handle fitness easily but now, it’s all about time. Now I have a family and after work, I try to spend more time with them and parents. So, at the moment I am just skipping my lunch in order to maintain my body but I know it is not the correct way to be fit. It could be creating some chemical issues in my internal system or making me weak from inside which I recently realized after getting 2 days of high fever.
As I told earlier that I always focus on my fitness so it is time to change my routine and now I would be focusing on basic exercises before breakfast i.e. pushups, planks and few tummy exercises or before dinner if unable to do in the morning. Secondly, I would be having an hour walk after dinner in order to have a good digestive system and fit legs. Plus, if required I would start keto diet again for a month or two to reduce excessive weight. Main thing is my intention on getting fit, whether I achieve it or not, I am happy that I still think about it and will keep on trying to be fit my whole life. Cheers!!!
