Fitness is about different individuals and different needs...
After Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's 8-pack and 6-pack syndrome, there was not a single gym left in the country where youngsters did not make a beeline for it!
Then came yoga and everyone followed that too! Indians are giving the 'herd mentality trend' a thumbs down.
Dr. Mukund Mehta, a fitness consultant in the city, aged 82 swims 20 lengths everyday, because it is the stamina his body has developed over the years. "Your body should develop a good resistance to diseases, build a muscle mass because fitness is dependent on gender, food and age."
For the last 8 years, Kruti Choksi, feels fitness is not about crash diets or only weight training. Kruti does one hour of aerobics, 20 minutes weight training for any one body part and another 15 minutes of yoga everyday. "I don't believe in following these so-called celebrity workouts."
Komal Shah, a yoga instructor says, "Everybody is aiming on reducing their certain body part which will enable them to wear dresses like the female actors. But they don't understand that what is important is overall fitness." Says Mumbai based Ashtanga vinyasa yoga expert Dipika Mehta "The west has much more regulated stuff for personal weight reduction regimes.
People read in books about Kareena Kapoor's suryanamaskars and start doing the same. What is important is the alignment during the suryanamaskars."
Not every workout works great on all people at the same time is what people are now slowly getting a grip of. Anything is achievable but the ultimate aim should always be a healthy body.
