Espe­cially when it per­tains to fit­ness and nutri­tion, a lot of us seek the easy way out. I wrote about this a while back, about magic potions. A recent story I heard brought this back. Apolo­gies in advance if this offends any­one, but don’t miss/misunderstand the point am try­ing to make. I have a friend called […]

Asterix and Obelix were a huge part of my child­hood, and I always wanted some of that magic potion! And then, I grew up. But it looks like there’s still a bunch of folks around who think stuff like that exists. There are a plethora of prod­ucts out there — fat burn­ers, fat busters, fat […]

It has been 5 weeks since The Quad Boot­Camp started, and we are lucky to have some awe­some ath­letes work out with us. Their effort and ded­i­ca­tion (espe­cially the 5am class) is incred­i­ble, and makes the early morn­ing alarm eas­ier. Along with work­ing out with us, we also guide all our ath­letes with regard to […]

My mom and grand­mom always used to add a gen­er­ous dose of ghee to my food, and after I joined my fancy gym in 2005, that was the first thing to go. After chid­ing my fam­ily, I ensured I dropped all ghee and sat­u­rated fats, and stuck to the heav­ily veg­etable oils on TV. Remember […]

The results for Get Fit With Me, Today are out! Check your inbox to see if you got an email from me. For those with a geeky side to them, I used the ran­dom num­ber gen­er­a­tor on random.org to gen­er­ate 5 num­bers between 1 and n (n being the num­ber of sub­scribers). That was pretty much it! Thanks […]

In less than 2 weeks, am gonna be on a plane back home, to start The Quad. From the mid­dle of Sep­tem­ber, am gonna be busy with the Boot­Camp, and real­ized that my online con­sul­ta­tions might need to take a brief hia­tus. With that in mind, I want to announce a give-away. Here’s what you […]

I’m not in this world to live up to your expec­ta­tions and you’re not in this world to live up to mine — Bruce Lee. I am proud to have a wife, and fam­ily that sup­ports me in my endeavours. For the past 3 years, I’ve been look­ing for the right rea­son to move back to India. […]

A few weeks back, I wrote a train­ing post, about start­ing trou­ble in get­ting back into a work­out pro­gramme. This is part of the same series — how can you kick­start your jour­ney to bet­ter health and fit­ness — home­maker edi­tion. Don’t stop read­ing if you aren’t one though — you will find this post […]

Time is uni-directional. You can­not get it back. Don’t half-ass your work­out because you are think­ing of the deliv­er­able that’s due tomor­row. Focus on your work­out and destroy it! If you end up going through the motions at the gym, that’s just inef­fi­cient. Instead, focus on the work­out and let it take over. You will find […]
