// I learnt Bharatanatyam for over 18 years and was always active, so I never had to worry about my intake or my weight or my strength. I was always termed “too skinny and not charming enough”. I Don’t think it really bothered me though. ⁣ However, when I discontinued, I obviously started gaining quite a bit of weight. I had also started a new job, so a combination of bad eating and sleeping along with my idleness lead to my weight gain. ⁣ This didn’t really get to me until one day I had a medical camp at work and tested my blood sugar levels. I was told that I was borderline diabetic and wasn’t too far away from stepping into the other side of the line. I was quiet shocked and realised how my poor choices of lifestyle had actually started affecting my health.⁣ I didn’t wait for too long after that, I started cardio and cut down carbs and sugar just the way I was advised by a very popular nutritionist. Of course I started loosing a few kilos, but was also not as strong as before, struggled to not over eat and sustain the weight loss. That’s when I was suggested weight training. ⁣ I was hesitant, but I took a chance and started lifting and to my surprise, I enjoyed it too much and realised I was also a lot stronger than I thought I was. I used to lift heavier than most people I knew and even started participating in competitions. ⁣ I was so happy for myself, however, was being branded as “bulky and not feminine”, which definitely made me feel bad about the way I looked. ⁣ But realised, that people had something to say either way and what really matters is how you want to look. I liked the way I looked and the way I felt. So, I continued to look the way I eat and lift the way I did and trust me, I was never happier.⁣ Even though my goals have changed now and am back to looking a lot smaller than I used to, I am way more stronger and can confidently pull a 95kg deadlift with ease. I have never been happier (as always). ⁣ Skinny or bulky, you do you. I know all of you have heard this term time and again, but trust me, it’s a magical phrase. Emily Ratajkowski or Serena Williams, be who you want to be and what makes you the happiest.

#Repost @fitnesswithsup • • • • • • Does sugar make you fat? . . Sugar is dense in calories, which makes it easier for you to end up in an overall calorie surplus. . . My best friend used to bring one piece of chocolate cake to school every single day for lunch and she was still skinny as hell (not always a good thing). This was because she was eating ONLY the cake and nothing else, which made her stay well within her calorie limit. So, she never really gained any weight. However, this is something I wouldn’t prefer because I will never feel full with just one slice of cake or a piece a brownie. Also, I don’t get any nutrients or macros this way. . . Think about it this way - a piece of brownie is approximately 400-450 calories, which is close to an entire meal. Let’s say I finish dinner, which is my last meal for the day and is approximately 400 calories. I’ve already hit the calorie limit for the day, so what really happens if I sneak in a piece of brownie after my dinner? It adds another 400 calories to my bucket for the day. It’s alright for me to do this once in a while, however, doing this on a regular basis will definitely lead to weight gain because you’re eating in surplus. Please remember, it’s not just a piece is brownie that will add to the calorie bucket. If you’ve hit your calories for the day, even eating nuts or fruits, or anything for that matter will add to your weight gain. . . So, I’d like to conclude by saying that sugar is not what makes you fat, it’s the surplus in calories that do. So, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, I’d suggest you plan your meals through the day to leave some calories out for maybe a small piece of whatever you’re craving instead of adding to the overall calories. Either ways, having a balanced routine is very important.

#repost @fitnesswithsup @skyriaofficial is a brand I’ve been following for a while now and I’ve always loveddddd their style. I was so excited when they recently sent me across an outfit from their collection to try. I must say, the outfit felt as good as it looked! It’s breathable, light, super good quality and guys, I never thought I’d be so comfortable in a crop top while working out. So, taking inspiration from their USPs - simplicity and breathable, I decided to build out an HIIT workout that reflects their brand - simple and light. So, check it out and let me know what you think :D . . 30 seconds on and 30 off or 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off . . 1. Froggers and Jump 2. Quick Feet and Shuffle 3. Loaded Beast and Shoulder Tap 4. Lunge and Hop 5. Kneeling Hip Thrusts 6. In and Out Squats 7. Suitcase Abs Full body workout in Skyria activewear Skyria workout leggings and Skyria sports bra
