Aging and its effects

In Indian fitness groups on facebook, predominantly frequented by men, there is often a complaint heard that Indian chicks don't lift. I regret to say that, once I also held the same beliefs.

Once I entered the corporate world, and was subjected to its pressures, I spiralled into ill health.
Its not just the laddoos,cakes and late night popcorn that colleagues force on you.
Some days are just more hectic and you do burn more calories. Eating more carbohydrates would have been the best solution. But when you have paid a self proclaimed transformation specialist who doesn't give a fuck about your nutrient timing and ever changing shifts, you are bound to fail.

We are conditioned to believe that we should never miss a workout by the media. This may apply to people who like to skip hard work. But when you are not sleeping enough and work for 12 hours, you might get more health problems.

Once i injured my back,knee,shoulder and now my eye, my view on fitness and life has changed considerably.
I used to be the mad person working out for 2-3 hours in my college days.That has all changed.
I changed to working out thrice a week.
Now that I'm scheduled for surgery,I will be unable to workout for a while.

For BPO employees, focussing on getting adequate rest is crucial and next comes meal preparation.
Screw working out. You're better off without it.

Also, as an analytical person who likes market research, I interviewed a couple of colleagues and found that the fit males exercise for 5-6 hours once a week.On the other hand, fit women ate small portions and were active on a day to day basis.

Why?
Males have stronger joints and can bear the stress of working out that long once a week.Women have weaker joints and cannot handle once a week overdoing it.

You will also find in these fitness groups that men make fun of women who practice group exercise classes. They assume that women have the same joint strength as them.There is no hope for such people. Lol!

The classic schedule of an IT employee is tight. From the time the cab driver calls in the morning to the time you catch the cab to reach home,its all a nightmare. And in the midst of this shit, you are expecting yourself to eat and workout like a pro athelete and look like a steroid infused dumb fuck.

Quite often,the average bpo employee cuts out the warm up, cool down and stretching to save time. This often leads to back,knee,shoulder and chest injuries.By the time, they figure that their plan isn't good they have a good number of injuries.

Bear in mind that hiring a young PT won't help you, because they make you do plyometric exercises which will most definitely injure you.Do your research and train yourself.

I believe that the book, "Strong Curves" by Brett Contreras is the most underrated book of the century. In lucid language and easy to implement.
