Hi All, 

Testimonial by Reema Sarin an actor, model, dancer & founder BOLLYFIT for Shakti Saran, Health Fitness India work.

I'd like to thank Ms. Reema Sarin an actor, model, dancer & founder BOLLYFIT to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows: 

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry? 

Well, I started BOLLYFIT about 10 years ago in 2004. At that time, I found that people were getting bored of the traditional aerobic workouts, and were looking for new ways to keep fit and lose weight. It was around that time, that ‘bollywood remix’ music and new bollywood dance choreographies became a huge hit globally.

I decided to mix all 3 popular rages– that is International Fitness moves (Aerobics, Step Aerobics and Cardio Kick-boxing); Bollywood dancing and Bollywood music (at increased speeds) so one can get a high energy fun workout!

BOLLYFIT is my own fusion of sophisticated bollywood, bhangra, hip-hop, jazz, modern, funk, flamenco and fitness dance and aerobic dance moves, synchronized to popular bollywood music at 200 beats per minute, the first of its kind and the fastest in the dance and fitness industry globally!

How important is fitness in today’s fast paced life: 

A healthy body complements a healthy mind. Both go hand in hand. Exercising is the best stress buster, and in today’s fast paced times, it certainly helps to keep fit by engaging in any kind of fitness activity or sports.  Fitness should be a key component in anybody's life simply for the fact that it makes you feel better. Here are some key reasons and benefits of being Fit:

More Confidence

One of the first benefits that come to mind is confidence or raised self esteem. After all when you feel good you look good and that definitely shows in a person if they take care of themselves.

More Energy

People that exercise have or seem to have more energy than people that don't. For example, if you where to do cardio in the morning before you went to work, your day would run smoother and you would be more upbeat for the day? Working out might seem like a chore at first. You might even feel like you have no energy to workout. However remember this, working out on a regular bases give you more energy in the long run.

More Organized

I am drawing from personal experience here but whenever I am on a structured program or workout regime, I become more organized in other areas of my life. Area's such as work, friends, family and leisure time. So try making fitness a part of your life. You never know what you might be able to accomplish.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

Being in the industry for a decade now, today,  I am a well known fitness model and fitness media personality. I recently completed both, the Delhi and the Mumbai Marathons of 21.097 kms, much before the stipulated time of 3 hours and received medals for both races respectively.

I am a leading Fitness and Bollywood Dancer & Choreographer in the country, with international experience and training in the Fitness Industry in the US and in South East Asia (including Australia).

I conceptualized and launched my ‘BOLLYFIT’ Dance Program, which is a fusion of scintillating and sophisticated bollywood and fitness dance moves, which are carefully synchronized to popular bollywood music.

It’s the only one of its kind fitness dance choreography which gives you the amazing thrill of bollywood, jazz and funk dancing along with the fun combination of international dance aerobics, step dance aerobic and cardio kick boxing moves your favorite fast paced bollywood music of speeds of 200 beats per minute (bpms)!

I have has organized Fitness Dance Shows, including at the Youth Nexus Festival’, sponsored by HT City in Delhi, ‘Dublin Night-Club’ in Delhi, ‘FBAR (renamed as ‘Venom Lounge’) in Hyderabad, amongst others. 

I have launched the BOLLYFIT Program’ as a motivational fitness dance program in schools (The American School, Delhi), corporate companies (AppLabs, IBM) and Hotels (Taj Group, Four Seasons Group) and Resorts all over India. I have been instrumental in promoting fitness in, as well as in introducing and promoting BOLLFIT group fitness workouts in all the premier Fitness Clubs and Gyms in the country.

I have showcased the ‘BOLLYFIT’ programs, on all the prime TV channels in the country, including STAR News, ZEE, Aaj Tak, CNBC (Goodlife Program), ‘Raat Baki’ on NDTV (Bollywood Fitness Parties), as well as given interviews to the mainline dailies, lifestyle and fitness publications and magazines like Times of India, Hindustan Times, Pioneer, Atelier Diva, Hotel Business Review, Capitol Post, amongst others.

“My classes are fun, high energy, fast paced and rejuvenating. ‘It is actually not just about losing weight, but about keeping fit; improving flexibility, stamina, endurance, strength and leading a high-energy life. People join the ‘BOLLYFIT’ Program to work out in high energy and power filled group fitness classes.”

BOLLYFIT is a sure shot calorie burner. The fitness dance moves work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, all very addictive and help you actually de-stress and unwind as you workout.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I encourage clients to adopt fitness as a lifestyle and make it a part of their everyday regimen, so they remain healthy in their daily lives. There are many new Fitness workouts that are working wonders, as they not only are excellent calorie burners, but are fantastic for muscle toning and building strength and stamina. They help to Increases your speed, balance, flexibility, coordination and sharpens reflexes.

Additionally, they provide the ‘fun element’, which ensures that you get an enjoyable workout without feeling the burden of exercise. It releases what we call in layman terms ‘happy hormones’ in the body, leaving you feeling great!

For any exercise, Mornings is the best time as the body has maximum energy in the morning after a night’s sleep.

For exercise, they should wear comfortable cotton, lycra exercise clothes, which includes tshirts, stretch pants, tights, aerobic dance wear. Basically, cloths that don’t restrict aerobic and dance movements and allow the skin to breathe and allow full body movement. But even more important thing are the shoes – they need to be of a flexible sole for dance movement and have a good base to provide substantial support for high impact landing.

I also advise my clients to adopt healthy eating habits, and adopt a high protein, low fat and complex carbohydrate diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and water intake. 

Eating - thumb rule - Calories in have to be less than Calories burnt. So eat healthy on most days. NEVER GO ON CRASH DIETS. Eat lots of protein - daals, tofu, fruits and vegetables. White meats instead of Red. So chicken and fish are better than lamb, pork, other red meats. Just cut out excess salt, sugar, alcohol, fried snacks (so no samosas, chips, etc). There are plenty of low fat snacks to have, for e.g.like a whole wheat toast with tomatoes and some pepper, instead of say a cheese toast. Deserts - stick to jellos, etc not the heavy deserts like 'halwa', creamy deserts, etc. Stick to Low fat milk and yogurt.

Avoid white carbohydrates - so no 'maida' and stick to whole wheat pastas and breads.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

We are finding that our people are getting increasingly fitness conscious, and are constantly looking for new, innovative and fun ways to workout, lose weight. For optimum fitness, it is good for your body to experience different kinds of workouts.

Fitness professionals at times stick to old and outdated fitness regimes which aren’t very effective and also get boring for clients. Sometimes fitness professionals also tend to follow 1 type of fitness routine and in doing so, wear out the body muscles.My advise to all fitness professionals is to stay updated with new fitness regimes and vary the fitness routines they teach their clients. 

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now? 

With Bollywood music becoming increasingly popular not only with Indians but also expats, professionally I see myself and BOLLYFIT going global! Today, I teach Bollywood ‘Rock Aerobic’, ‘Pop Aerobic’ and marathon advanced ‘Trance Aerobic classes’, which are all very addictive forms of exercise.”

BOLLYFIT Dance is one of the latest and most innovative concepts, that is taking both, fitness and dancing to a completely new level as it talks about a completely new concept internationally, called 'fitness dancing'. BOLLYFIT has completely glamorized fitness, as it is also the first fitness dance program to be taught in nightclubs and discotheques (during non night-club hours), which has been a great hit, as for the first time, a fitness workout has moved out from Gyms and Fitness Clubs, to Nightclubs.

The special BOLLYFIT moves strengthen your muscles and the BOLLYFIT stretches really increase flexibility and really relaxes all your limbs.  Some of the super fast high energy dance moves will give you fantastic workout as you feel your fitness level going to a higher level, giving you increased calorie burn.

Ups and downs in life lead everybody to feel sad or pessimistic from time to time. But if sadness and hopelessness have taken over, this might be a sign of depression. When we are depressed, just getting through the day can be overwhelming.

However, no matter how hopeless we feel, it’s possible to get better. Along with meeting a therapist in person, seeing an online therapist from the privacy of our couch or using medications, there's a lot we can do on our own to fight back.

Changing some of our behaviors (physical activity, lifestyle, and even our way of thinking) is the way we start to address depression. Here is a list of 5 activities we can do on our own and that are shown to help with depression.

Practice Yoga

In a study of 65 women with depression and anxiety, the 34 women who took a yoga class twice a week for two months showed a significant decrease in depression compared to the 31 women who were not in the class.

Yoga has a wonderful antidepressant effect as it involves mindfulness, which breaks up repetitive negative thoughts. And even if you don’t like intense physical exercise, there are yoga classes that involve gentle, slower movements.

Try Tai Chi

Tai chi is a form of mind-body exercise that originated from China. It combines martial arts and meditative movements that promote balance and healing of the mind and body. As it comprises mental concentration, physical balance, muscle relaxation, and relaxed breathing, tai chi has shown great results in supporting the rehabilitation of a number of psychological conditions, including depression.

In a study of 14 Chinese patients with depression, those who took tai chi over a three-month period showed a significant improvement in their depression. Researchers also theorized that the social aspects of tai chi, may have played a role in its effectiveness.

Find your Artistic Outlet

Artistic expression can help people connect with their depression and any underlying causes at a deeper level. The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people get out of thinking obsessively about the past or the future, which are the causes of feelings of depression and anxiety. The creative process also supports increased self-esteem and awareness. We feel powerful and talented when we are given the tools to create something from nothing.

Since the American Art Therapy Association was created in 1969, many therapists have been trained in both art and therapy. Healing arts can include drawing, painting, woodworking and sculpting, or other creative methods of expression such as dance, drama, or playing music. This approach helps people connect with their anger, shame, or guilt from trauma and may bring depression relief. Online therapists who practice art therapy can be easily searched using directories like etherapi.

Take on Responsibilities

When we’re depressed, we feel like retreating from life and give up our responsibilities. This has the particularly dangerous effect of starting a downward spiral, so it’s important to not follow this instinct. Staying involved and having daily responsibilities can help maintain a lifestyle that can counter depression. They ground us and give us a sense of accomplishment. We don’t have to accomplish incredibly difficult tasks. Think about part-time work or school. If that’s still too much, volunteer work is another great option.

Also, try the following: when you get up in the morning come up with a list of things you want to achieve during the day. The smaller the better. E.g., read and respond to 2 emails from the email inbox, take the car to the mechanic to check the brakes, fill out and send a form back to the bank.

Write the items on post-it notes and put them up on the wall. As you get things done, take each post-it down. If you don’t get everything done: don’t worry. At the end of the day think about the number of things you have accomplished, and make a new plan for tomorrow.

Tune into Sensations in your Body

An effective way to anchor your mind in the here and now and away from obsessions that come from the past or the future is to tune into sensations in the body with the help of meditation. With a type of meditation called “mindfulness of emotions in the body” we are encouraged to focus closely on the physical sensations that our emotions create in our body.

With this type of mindfulness, we pay attention to our experience rather than being lost in it. Over time we develop a different relationship to difficult experiences; we can see negative thoughts for what they really are: just patterns in the mind, arising and passing away, rather than the truth about what kind of person we are or mistakes we have made. Many online therapists on eTherapi are willing to offer guided meditation session to clients located remotely.

For many people chronic illness can severely impact on their quality of life. If you have a friend or family member who has to undergo regular treatment for a chronic illness, such as dialysis or chemotherapy or for a disease like Tuberculosis then you will be aware of the toll that these chronic conditions take on their quality of life. Advances in medical equipment design and new discoveries have made a new generation of home medical equipment possible. This new generation of equipment allows patients with chronic conditions to be treated in the comparative comfort of their own homes, rather than endure the daily, weekly or monthly trip to the hospital. The new generation of home medical equipment includes such items as ultrasound equipment and medical oxygen equipment, which is in great demand due to the rising levels of drug resistant tuberculosis which are beginning to be seen throughout the world.

Home medical equipment can now be sourced directly from the manufacturer or medical equipment store due to the increasing amounts of home medical equipment online. The availability of medical equipment online has revolutionized the home based care industry. Where previously equipment was enormously expensive today it has become more affordable. Recent advances in technology have also meant that the operation of this equipment has been greatly simplified. This has meant that people without advanced medical training are often able to operate the devices like Toshiba PVT-375BTeliminating the need for a full time care giver. This has in turn further reduced the overhead cost of supplying home based care.

The increasing popularity of the online equipment store has mean that people have to become more informed about the choices that they make regarding their online purchases. Although it is not necessary to obtain a medical degree prior to purchasing a medical device for home based medical care, it would be advisable to consult with a specialist medical practitioner prior to making the purchase. Another consideration when buying home medical equipment is the complexity of the item being purchased. Although technological advances have made operation of the home based medical devices far simpler than has historically been the case it should be noted that many still require the attention of a trained professional in order to operate both properly and safely.

The rule of thumb is to always make sure that you have consulted with a medical practitioner to ensure that the correct diagnosis has been made prior to attempting any home based care. Once you have confirmed the diagnosis (always ask for a second opinion) then consult with a reputable supplier of home based medical devices, this includes trying to source the appropriate medical device online. Shopping online will enable you to compare products and prices with just a few clicks of a button; saving you time and money.

The purchase of home medical equipment, be it from a showroom or online is one of the most important decisions that any care giver or family member can take. Make sure that you are purchasing from a reputable dealer and have the equipment installed by a qualified technician, in order to enjoy a better quality of life.

Hi All, 

Testimonial by Abhinav Malhotra, Ballistic Kettlebell Fitness Academy for Shakti Saran, Health Fitness India - web design, graphic design, SEO, SMO and online marketing work.

I'd like to thank Mr. Abhinav Malhotra, the founder of Ballistic Kettlebell Fitness Academy, India to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are: 

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

I was always an obese person right since childhood and hated myself for that.

I constantly looked for fitness advice from people in good shape and different trainers in the gym and read articles on the web and in the fitness magazines which always contradicted.

Everything contradicted with each other and led to more confusion.

All this led to frustration before I decided to do a Personal Trainer Certification course from K11 Fitness Academy, Pune to educate myself in fitness science.

My interest in fitness education grew henceforth and I kept doing more courses nationally and internationally in different aspects of fitness and decided to venture into fitness industry.

I started Pune's 1st personal training studio specializing in functional training and athletic Strength & Conditioning, with the latest trends of Kettlebells, TRX, BOSU etc.

Then I launched India's premier Kettlebell and Sports conditioning academy - Ballistic Kettlebell Fitness Academy.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

Kettlebells,

Strength & conditioning for sportsmen,

Training for special population (people with medical problems, musculo-skeletal injuries, postural disorders, neural problems, children and pregnant women),

Lifestyle improvement by adopting regular exercise and nutrition habits.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

Fitness is a lifestyle change and not a crash diet and over-training protocol to lose weight. Such faulty practices to lose quick weight will only lead to lowered metabolism, sagging skin, abnormal hormones, faster regain of weight to lead to more frustration.

Moreover, what's the point in getting to a smaller out of shape, ugly body from the larger out of shape body with weeks of crash diets affecting sleep, happiness, mind and overall quality if life?

Exercise at least 3-4 days a week and have a balanced diet, with proper macro and micro-nutrient profile to suit your body, which one can sustain all throughout life.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

1) Trying to impress the clients with quick results. Thereby adopting faulty practices mentioned above by me. Most often includes giving excess cardio and super low calorie protein-deficient diets.

2) Starting training without proper client assessments. I see this a lottttt !!!

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

1) Expanding my brand Ballistic from an academy to gyms and sports nutrition through out Asia.

2) Personally, one of the leading lifestyle and fitness consultant in India.

How to become and grow as a model - Health Fitness India

Becoming a successful model can be a good start to a much bigger career in the entertainment industry. Explore your options to grow also by asking me!

Don't get fooled and cheated by casting ads even when they say a major production company. I think ask for the casting coordinator details so you know it's official. It's not necessary that the ad is fooling and cheating you, however, it can help to have the details.

Google "how to model india" and thankfully on 1st page is this article. You can also search the casting coordinator details and the ad details to try and find if it's official.

One of the most important considerations for people to enter into the modeling industry is the money they think it would cost them to take that big risk in a highly-competitive industry.

Is modeling expensive? It can be if you're trying to achieve too much too quickly or if you've any unrealistic goals. Understanding your potential in the modeling industry is key. Of course, humans have seemingly infinite potential and one can keep trying to get better by using the accessible and acceptable ways and means. Learning from a variety of modeling industry professionals can help.

One thing you can do to reduce your costs is to find make-up artists, photographers, and fashion designers by yourself and grow from small to big. It'll take effort to find others, however, that can be of increasing value to you over the longer-term.

I've created websites in health, fitness, beauty, fashion, career, security and others. They can help you to find fitness trainers, nutritionists, dietitians, make-up artists, beauty products, spas, salons, fashion designers and modeling photographers.

14th November is celebrated as World Diabetes Day every year. This day calls for a global awareness campaign on Diabetes. So, read on to discover 5 rare facts about Diabetes that will help you remain aware.

Do share your views below!

1. THE SILENT KILLER

The most common form of Diabetes - Type 2 Diabetes - hardly come with any symptoms. This is why it is infamously known to be the silent killer. About one-third of every diabetic patient are not aware that they are suffering from the disease.

Diabetes affects health by raising blood glucose level. This excessive raise renders the cells unable to transfer glucose into energy. Thus, it keeps accumulating in the blood.

This excessive accumulation is dangerous, as it may damage your vital organs like heart, kidneys and eyes. In the long run, this accumulation may also cause stroke, heart attack, or coma. Causing death without prior symptoms is the reason why Diabetes is known to be the silent killer.

1. DIABETES ARE OF 3 TYPES

Diabetes is often mistaken to be of two types. Other than Type 1 and Type 2, there also exists a third type - Gestational Diabetes. As is apparent from its term, this Diabetes affects women during their pregnancies. If a pregnant woman’s blood sugar rises abnormally, she is diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.

Indian women are generally more vulnerable to Gestational Diabetes. By staying under extra care during pregnancy, they are more likely to consume calorific food. Gestational Diabetes often converts into Type 2 Diabetes after delivery!

3. DIABETES CAN CAUSE AMPUTATIONS

In spite of celebrating World Diabetes Day annually, much awareness about Diabetes remains unspread. Lack of awareness and health service during Diabetes is dangerous. Neglecting a diabetic patient can cause severe complications, including amputations.

Diabetes is, in fact, the leading cause of amputations. This is why foot care is important for diabetic patients throughout their life. It is as important as taking a regular dose of insulin for Type 1 diabetic patients.

1. DIABETES DEATH PREDICTIONS

According to the World Health Organisation, total diabetic deaths is likely to increase by more than 50% in the next 10 years.

And over 80% of the upper middle income countries are going to suffer from diabetic deaths. So, beware of this silent killer named Diabetes!

5. DIABETES IN INDIA

Being the second largest population in the world is not the only bad news for India. It is also the Diabetes Capital of the world!

Approximately 40 million Indians are currently suffering from diabetes. This number is most likely to increase to 70 million by 2025. Thus, 1 among every 5 diabetic in the world is most likely to be an Indian!

The major cause of diabetes in India is their central obesity. Apple shaped bodies are found mostly in India, the reason why Indians suffer from Diabetes more than any other nationalities. 

Diabetes constitutes of 6% of the world’s population. Early diagnosis is the best prevention against this silent killer. So, keep visiting your doctor routinely, especially those with family histories. 

Let’s face it, growing old is a reality. There is no running away from it; age literally catches up with you. The third decade of your life can prove to be crucial in several aspects. The biggest being- you aren’t in your twenties anymore. So behaving like you are one and ignoring your health might prove to be detrimental in the long run. But then, you’ve become wiser and smarter with experience.

Here, we list down a few things to give you a heads up on the most exciting phase of life. Things especially that concern your health. We promise, it’ll be a breeze. (Take this from someone who is on the verge of turning thirty.)

Those bad habits need to die

Period. You can’t do certain things on a whim and not end up feeling miserable after you’ve done it. This includes smoking, drinking (like there’s no tomorrow) and binging on fast food. These habits don’t have to make their way into your 30s, because they’ll only wreck your health.

An occasional drink is harmless, but jumping at the prospect of happy hours shouldn’t be your thing. Similarly, quit smoking. We’ve already been subjected to the ‘Smoking Kills’ advert at the movies for us to understand that it is really bad for health. Binging on Fries and a burger every weekend (no to midnight snacking as well) is just going to lead to health problems. Make healthy eating your priority.

Exercise regularly

In your thirties, your body’s metabolism slows down and you start gaining a few pounds. Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to be a gym rat, but an hour at the gym or an early morning jog and yoga will be sufficient enough to keep you active and productive through the day. Choose any form of physical activity that makes you happy. In the long run you’ll thank yourself for cultivating this good habit.

Don’t skip breakfast

Your schedule might be choc-a-bloc with meetings and deadlines, but there’s always time for breakfast. Skipping breakfast means prolonged fasting. This again, slows down your metabolism and leads to weight gain. In addition, your immunity levels go down and you are prone to frequent infections. All of it doesn’t sound good.

A bowl of muesli and fruit, or a couple of hard-boiled eggs, toast and a fresh fruit juice are a good start to a day. Even if you are on the run, always carry some fruits.

Try to stick to a schedule

Not that you should start leading a life that is controlled by the clock, but following a schedule more or less will give you a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. The idea is to make your day as productive as possible. One simple way to go about it is to just make a list and tick everything, while you’re finishing them off (Let social media not distract you). But always leave some room for surprise. An impromptu trek on a weekend is always a good idea.

Also, you require enough sleep to feel fresh the next day. Bid adieu to late nights. They make you feel sluggish the next day, making you less productive.

Do things that make you feel happy

Finally, it all boils down to this. Your emotional well being is important as well. It’s something we forget along the way when we just follow a routine. This includes being happy with you’re job, with the person you’re dating or married to and the people you are surrounded with (friends/colleagues). They need to feel right at the end of the day, uplift you and make you happy. If that isn’t happening, then you need to fix it right away.

If the 20s gave you a taste of everything that’s out there, 30s gives you the chance to choose from them. It’s these choices that you stick to for the rest of your life. But don’t forget to have a blast, while you are at it.

Hi All, 

I'd like to thank Dr. Emily Splichal to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

I entered the fitness industry over 13 year ago when I was a crossroads with what I wanted to do with my life. My undergraduate degree is in Forensic Science which I soon realized was not my dream job.

Growing up I trained as a competitive gymnast, so movement was a natural part of my lifestyle. I started to explore careers in fitness / sports and I realized that this was where I was most passionate.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

Over the years I have shifted away from hands on training / teaching to more fitness education and program development. After attending medical school and graduate school I decided to apply both of these degrees towards the research and education side of fitness.

I still teach classes and have developed a workout called BARE® which is a barefoot balance training and conditioning workout. This workout is now taught across the USA and Internationally, teaching members the power of barefoot training.

Despite being a Doctor, I think it is important for me to maintain my involvement as a fitness professional. My Certifications include: NSCA-CPT, NASM-CES, NASM-PES, AFAA-Group Fitness, Johnny G Spinning, Rocktape-C, TP Therapy-C

3. What's a great piece of advice that you've given to a client?

Wow this is a hard question. I'd say one of the most important tips I give to clients as of late is teaching them the power of recovery. Recovery can mean addressing myofascial adhesions or trigger points with foam rolling or SMR - or it can mean taking days off to allow your muscles to actual repair and rebuild the tissue.

In this day and age (and especially in New York City) people believe in a "go hard or go home" attitude which is true that you need to push your body past the point of overload. But.... you still must allow the tissue to rebuild itself. Taking days off to rest, do light cardio or simple do foam rolling may be the missing element to why your body is plateauing.

And of course as it relates to recovery, is you need to feed your body with the building blocks to actual rebuild and repair. So diet, protein, amino acids are very important.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

I'd say one of the biggest mistakes that some fitness professionals can make is thinking that you are done learning once you earn the Certificate. We are forever learning and fitness is an industry that is constantly (and rapidly) growing and evolving. This means to stay competitive in the industry you really must attend the Conferences, the new workshops, read blogs and fitness journals.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

In the next several years I hope to see the Evidence Based Fitness Academy (EBFA) continue to grow and further spread the power of barefoot science and from the ground up training within the fitness industry.

We have many great collaborations in the works with major health club chains both in the USA and Internationally. Having our education implemented into their trainers formal education will take this from the ground up concept to the next level.

In addition we are working on product development. So in the next several years I hope to see a new surface created for clients and athletes which is targeted at better foot activation and barefoot stimulation.

Hi Everyone, I keep hearing from people on how to burn, reduce and lost fat and get slim and fit. People say they don't have time or money or both for going to gym. 

If you're struggling with fat and want a slim and fit body then I'm starting this post to share valuable videos that you can do at home.

At first before you start doing any exercises, make sure that you've no health issues or get a doctor check-up.

It can take several months to start seeing significant results. Major improvements can be possible by exercising for months and years. Also, it's critical to eat right on a daily basis. Soon, I'll share an article on simple healthy things to buy and eat.

Keep the pace slow enough that you're doing the exercises properly. Avoid injuries by keeping the intensity at which you can do the exercises properly. At start, you'll take time to properly understand what's being shown in the videos. Watch the same exercise repeatedly to follow the steps properly. 

If you want personal trainer, nutritionist, dietitian or life coach who can guide you in person or on the Internet or phone then you can ask me. I'll find you professionals for your requirements and in your budget and if they don't work well then I'll find you other professionals. I'm increasingly connected to professionals who can benefit you.

Avoid running if you don't have an excellent treadmill or ground and footwear and know how to run or else you can hurt yourself in the short to long term.

You can also use a nice bio-mechanically designed cross-trainer or bike at home. Make sure to know how to use them correctly before using them. They might seem easy to use, however, can still cause injuries if not set and used properly.

Along with home exercises, also go for brisk walks with proper footwear.

And keep drinking water (see WebMD tips) and breathing!

Benefit of drinking green tea: The proof is in – drinking tea is healthy, says Harvard Women’s Health Watch

http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/benefit_of_drinking_green_tea

Although tea drinking has been associated with health benefits for centuries, only in recent years have its medicinal properties been investigated scientifically.

The October issue of Harvard Women’s Health Watch recognizes the healthy power of tea while helping readers get the most out of their cups. Tea’s health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids — plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants.

Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties.

Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder. Additional benefits for regular consumers of green and black teas include a reduced risk for heart disease.

The antioxidants in green, black, and oolong teas can help block the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol and improve artery function.

Above content is from the Harvard Health article.

An organic tea brand, Numi http://www.numitea.com/pure-tea/why-organic/

"Choosing organic not only preserves our earth's resources and protects the health of the farmers, but ensures that what is going into our bodies is 100% natural, made the way nature intended."

Do you wonder what your mother and family in general has fed you over the years in India and how the conditions around you are including related to air, water and land pollution and food adulteration and why?

Do you wonder what goes into children in India in general over the years who'll then produce more Indians including milk? 

I'll keep sharing more about green tea here.

Nowadays, many people drink tea, but not all of them know of its health benefits. Those that know not only drink it, but they also incorporate it in the foods they are eating when trying to lose weight. In ancient China, it was believed that tea will detoxify your body and prevent liver disease. In recent years researches have shown that is much to gain from a health’s point of view if you drink tea. Want to know what those benefits are? These are the ten most important:

• It can prevent weight gain. We all need are daily doses of caffeine, but consider this: a soft drink has more calories than a cup of tea, 200 to be exact, so think of this next time you are choosing your morning beverage. If you have tea with milk and sugar, that means you’ll still be adding some calories, but if you drink plain tea, which a lot of people can’t stand, you will be having a drink with 0 calories.
• It prevents ovarian cancer. If you drink a cup of tea a day you will lower the risk of ovarian cancer by 24% and if you drink 2 cups per day you will lower it by 46%, according to a study made in Sweden for 15 years, on 60,000 women.

• It increases you metabolism. Thanks to the polyphenols and caffeine, which can be found in teas, your insulin uptake efficiency will increase and so will your metabolism. It can also help you lose weight because it increases the rate of fat oxidation in your body. A study has shown that you will lose 4,6% of your body weight if you drink tea moderately for 3 months.
• It will make your bones stronger. According to a study, if you drink tea for over 10 years you will have stronger bones, compared to those who didn’t drink any tea.
• It will keep you hydrated. The rule used to be that caffeine drinks didn’t count when it came to hydration, because they were considered to act as a diuretic. Nowadays, studies have proven that if you drink moderate amounts of caffeine beverages, they will keep you hydrated to a certain extent. Not to mention that we all get tired of drinking water every day, so tea should be a welcomed change.
• It can save you from having a stroke. If you drink 3 cups or more of tea daily, you will lower your chances of having a stroke by 21%, according to a research paper presented at the 2009 Stroke Conference.
• It will power-up your immune system. If you drink tea on a regular basis you will have five times the amount of T-cells, or anti-bacterial proteins in your system, compared to non-tea drinkers. Because of this, it is believed that it can also be used to power-up the immune system of HIV-positive patients or others with damaged immune systems.
• It will protect your teeth. If you drink pain tea, without sugar, or anything else, the fluoride and tannings from it will fight plaque, they will also decrease bacterial infections and give you a nicer breath.
• It will stimulate your mind. If you are an elderly person, try drinking minimum 2 cups of tea a day, because it will make your mind sharper by 50%, compared to those people who drink other beverages.
• It will help you relax. The fact that drinking tea helps you relax is not just a myth, it’s the truth. The cortisol levels of those who drink tea drops 20 percent faster than of those who don’t, according to a study done by researchers at University College in London. Cortisol is a stress-induced hormone and if it exists in high quantities for a long period of time it can lead to cardiovascular disease, weight gain and high blood pressure. If you still prefer coffee to tea, know this: the caffeine effect one gets from drinking tea “arrives” after 15 minutes and compared to coffee it offers a gradual increase, rather than a fast jolt.

  Many studies have shown that you can draw the greatest benefit from tea if you drink it plain, without milk, sweeteners, and sugar or lemon, because they can inhibit some of its healthy effects.

  But no matter how you like your tea, make sure that you brew it the right way in order to get the maximum flavor and tannings out of it.

  Before you decide to follow my instructions, you should know that these results are available for green and black tea made from the plant Camellia sinensis. Although herbal teas don’t contain true tea leaves, they also have positive effects on your health. Because both green and black teas have such amazing health benefits, a mixed consumption of the two would be a good idea. If you want to sleep well at night, you might want to drink green tea in the afternoon.
