My Love For Fitness Started When I Was 13 and was studying at a boarding school In lucknow.I Became disciplined at a very young age From sleeping at 10 pm at night to waking up at 5 am which i did for 13 years of my life.I attended the early morning assembly and did the running rounds on the ground thereafter. For me fitness is about knowing my body and knowing what is best .Fitness means getting a good 8 hours of sleep,knowing what you eat and knowing what to workout.I love to eat a healthy breakfast and Drinking plenty of water and juices throughout the day.It is also important to be happy and enjoy life and surround yourself with positive people.You only live once and should live to the fullest.1 0 years playing for the Indian cricket team fitness is a very crucial part of my life





Tell us a bit about your training and Diet
I train with my trainer who is part of the Chennai Super Kings IPL Team.I am very active and practice a lot depending on my match schedule.I prefer homemade food like dal roti and when im on tour travelling i like eating Chinese,and plenty of sea food like lobster and basil fish.I stay away from fried food and junk.I make it a point to drink 4-5 liters of water each day to keep my self hydrated and fresh 
Who is your role model-
I admire Rahul dravid from our cricket team,Basketball Player Micheal Jordan And Boxer Mohammad Ali

What do you like to indulge in?
I keep a pretty balanced diet and very consistent with it.Even if i go out dining with friends i enjoy and keep my limits.As a kid i liked sweets and ate a lot of Jaggery but in present day sweets are very occasional and limited to Festivals.I believe if you indulge in 3000 calories you should burn off 4000

14 Cardio Mistakes You Make Everyday !

Few people No one likes cardio enough to do it for fun. If you want to get the most out of your workout void these Major Mistakes the next time you get on a...

Treadmill: 
1. You amp up the speed or incline too quickly.Beginners should put in the time, not intensity, You'll feel pain in your calves, lower back, hip, and knees if you ramp things up too soon. Instead, alternate between running and walking

2. You race the woman on the next treadmill. For all you know, she could be an Olympic sprinter or training to run her fifth marathon. So relax and don't worry about what the people next to you are doing. Then proceed at your own speed to avoid injury and/or utter exhaustion.
3. You never change your pace or use those pre-programmed workouts. Interval training (aka alternating between sprinting and recovery — running slower or walking to reduce your heart rate) doesn't only make your workout more effective. It also keeps your head in the game, so you're less likely to half-ass your workout. Pre-programmed workouts make it easy to challenge yourself
4. You run at a zero percent incline. Gradually adding a 1 to 3 percent incline can help simulate outdoor running
5. You lean forward while you run. This prohibits proper knee bending and messes with your stride. Focus on keeping your shoulders stacked over your hips as you run

6.You hold onto the handles. Because humans run with their entire bodies, grasping the handles looks incredibly awkward. Even worse, it limits your range of motion and interferes with your natural stride.
 Stationary Bike:
7. You don't use the pedal cages or straps. When your feet slip off the spinning pedals (which they will), your shins will almost definitely take a beating.

8. You talk on the phone while you pedal. Just because your butt is in a seat that doubles as a cardio machine doesn't mean you'll get a workout just by sitting there. You have to put in at least a little effort. If you can have a full conversation while you pedal, you're probably not working out hard enough
Stepper:
9. You only use your calves and hamstrings when you climb. Guilty? Congratulations, you just robbed your butt of a perfectly good workout. Actively squeeze your glutes as you climb to effectively sculpt your tush

10.You support your entire body with your arms. To maximize the burn and avoid straining your back, only place your hands lightly on the railings for support, and let your legs do the bulk of the work
11.You look down while you climb. It's an excellent recipe for neck strain. Look straight forward to promote neutral posture and improve your balance.
12. Your handlebars aren't level with the bike seat.If the handles are too high, you'll strain your neck and back. If they're too low, you could injure your back and shoulders. The perfect position is level with the bike seat, 
Elliptical:
13. You don't slow down to change the song or channel. And you inevitably get whacked with a handle or lose your balance. Bad. Idea.

14. Your handlebars aren't level with the bike seat.If the handles are too high, you'll strain your neck and back. If they're too low, you could injure your back and shoulders. The perfect position is level with the bike seat
... Row Machine:
You generate power from your arms. "The majority of the stroke power should actually come from the legs, "The stroke is 60 percent legs, 20 percent core, and 20 percent arms." For a proper stroke: Begin with your knees bent and the seat pushed all the way forward. Then drive backward with your legs, engage your core to lean back to 45 degrees, then pull your arms to your chest. To return to starting position, straighten your arms, sit upright, and then use your legs to pull your body forward.

Order To Look Like A Diva- Healthy Options When You Place An Order In A Restaurant Out For Any Cuisine Round The World

So My apologies that i have been away on for work and have not posted anything for weeks..But the good news is that this gave me a chance to review few things.I noticed that eating out for a lot of people is a problem and they tend to gain weight simply because they do not know the right choices.So here i am writing this article to help you order like a diva and make food choices that will never make you gain weight.Whether its Indian or Italian read on to know the best food choices 
 

Clues to Unhealthy Dishes

Thumbs Down:
  • Fried, au gratin, braised, buttered, creamed, escalloped
  • Hollandaise, cheese, or cream sauce
  • In gravy, pan-fried or -roasted, rich, in butter sauce.

Clues to Healthy Nutrition

Grilled chicken vs. fried chicken. Broiled fish vs. fried fish. When dining out, look for possible code words to healthier food with less saturated fat.
Thumbs Up:
  • Baked, broiled, grilled
  • Poached, roasted, steamed
  • In its own juice, garden fresh

No Substitutions? No Problem

What if your server says, "Absolutely no substitutions"? Try these 4 tips:
  • Ask that fries be left off your plate.
  • Peel the skin off fried chicken.
  • Skip the butter.
  • Drink tea instead of coffee with cream.

Healthy Chinese Food

Thumbs Down: Egg rolls, egg drop soup, fried wontons, Sweet and Sour Pork, and fried rice. They are prepared with lots of oil, sodium, and MSG.
Thumbs Up: Steamed or stir-fried seafood, chicken, bean curd, or vegetable dishes -- plus steamed rice -- for heart health. If possible, ask the cook to use less oil, soy sauce, and MSG

Greek Food to Savor

Thumbs Down: Moussaka, gyros, and baklava. You'll never lose weight eating them. If you're counting calories and saturated fat, get real about high-fat meats (like lamb and beef), cheese, and butter in these dishes.
Thumbs Up: Appetizers with chickpeas, eggplant, tomatoes, grains -- like hummus, baba ganouj, tabouli, dolmas. Also, shish kabob, chicken with pita, fish cooked in tomatoes.

Healthy Choices for Indian Food

Thumbs Down: Samosas and creamy curries. Many Indian dishes are full of high-fat ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil and milk. When you're eating out on a diet, read the menu closely.
Thumbs Up: Tandoori meats, vegetable or dal curries, and shish kabobs. South Indian food offers spicy vegetarian dishes -- with cauliflower, peas, tomatoes, eggplant, lentils, rice, and chutney.

Mexican Food Fiesta

At Mexican eateries, dining out is a party. But beware the lard and cheese.
Thumbs Down: Chips, fried tacos, refried beans, quesadillas, and chimichangas. They're loaded with saturated fat and sodium.
Thumbs Up: Start with black bean soup or grilled shrimp. Share chicken or shrimp fajitas. Try grilled shrimp or fish, with fresh salsa; chili verde (pork); or arroz con pollo (chicken).

Healthy Italian Food

Pasta is the essence of Italian dining. But it can be a saturated fat-and-calorie disaster!
Thumbs Down: Creamy, cheesy sauces (like Alfredo). Fried calamari, pastas stuffed with cheese.
Thumbs Up: Light sauces, like primavera (vegetables); marsala (wine, mushrooms, beef stock); marinara (tomatoes, onions, garlic); or clam sauce. Have minestrone for starters, plus a heart-healthy glass of red wine.

How Pizza Can Be on Your Diet

Follow these healthy eating tips:
  • Order a thin crust.
  • Pile on vegetable toppings, and skip the meat.
  • Ask for extra sauce -- and half the cheese.
  • Start with a salad.
  • Stop after one or two slices, and take the rest home.

Healthy Fast Food

Thumbs Up: Grilled chicken, chicken fajita pitas, turkey sandwiches, baked chips, or frozen yogurt.
Thumbs Down: Jumbo burgers, fried fish sandwiches, fried chicken, tacos, French fries, potato chips, milk shakes, cheese, mayonnaise, bacon.

Some Fats Are Good for You

Monounsaturated fats: Substituted for saturated fats in your diet, they help lower bad LDL cholesterol and don't reduce good HDL cholesterol. Found in canola oil, olive oil, olives, avocados, nuts, and nut butters.
Polyunsaturated fats: Help lower cholesterol. Found in fatty fish, vegetable oils, and nuts and sunflower seeds.

Cutting Fat Can Help Weight Loss

Ask your server about healthy substitutions:
  • A vegetable or fruit instead of French fries
  • Skinless chicken that's broiled instead of fried
  • Low-fat milk for your coffee, instead of cream


Fish Is Good for Your Heart

Fish is a healthy choice when dining out. Ordering seafood such as salmon and tuna adds omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. They are a type of polyunsaturated fat that helps lower your heart disease risk. You’ll also find omega-3s in walnuts and edamame (soybeans).

Avoid Fried Foods and Added Cheese

Eating out often means getting too much saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calories.
How can you spot the dangers? Saturated fats come mostly from meat and whole-fat dairy foods. Tropical oils like palm oil and coconut oil, and butter are also saturated fats. Cholesterol is found in animal fats. Primarily the saturated fat and the cholesterol in the foods you eat increase your cholesterol levels.

Lean Choices

If you're counting calories and saturated fat, hamburgers, rib eye, porterhouse, or T-bone steaks don't score well.
Thumbs Up:
  • Barbeque or grilled chicken, pot roast, meat loaf
  • London broil, filet mignon, flank steak, sirloin tip, tenderloin
  • Seafood, boiled shrimp, oysters on the half shell

Spotting High-Sodium Foods

Restaurant foods can be very high in sodium, or salt. If you are watching your sodium as many Americans need to, watch for:
  • Foods that are pickled, smoked, in broth or au jus
  • Cocktail sauce, soy, or teriyaki sauce
  • MSG
Look for low-sodium soy sauce. And ask that your food be prepared without added salt or MSG.

Have a Heart

Some restaurants have tuned into heart-healthy eating. They offer low-fat, low-salt, low-cholesterol menu items, designated with a heart icon.
Don't confuse this with the favorites icon. That can be a flag for popular, fatty choices. One delicious heart-healthy option: A grilled fish filet, a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Holiday Guide Part 1-How To Not Gain Weight On Vacation

Ok Peeps so next week i am out for a vacation to the sun sand and beach and i get many questions on how i am still lean when i get back hehehe!! I love vacations but i am even careful about what i put on that plate and No i don't deprive myself .When you take a trip, does your Diet go on vacation, too? Many people use vacations as an excuse to live it up by eating rich foods they don't normally eat, or eating super size restaurant portions.I admit Vacations should be fun but are you Living just to eat? You can keep a balance between eating good and feeling good and not eat over size portions feeling lethargic

There are reasons why eating in restaurants, as we tend to do most of the time while traveling, is so dangerous for your diet:
  • Restaurants often serve large portions, and we tend to eat more when more food is in front of us.
  • Restaurant menu items are often high in calories, fat, saturated fat,cholesterol, and sodium and low in fiber.
  • At restaurants, you usually have no idea how many calories or grams of saturated fat are in the dishes you order.
  • Clues to Unhealthy Dishes

    Concerned about high cholesterol, diabetes, or losing weight? Read menus carefully.
    Thumbs Down:
    • Fried, au gratin, braised, buttered, creamed, escalloped
    • Hollandaise, cheese, or cream sauce
    • In gravy, pan-fried or -roasted, rich, in butter sauce.
    • Clues to Healthy Nutrition

      Grilled chicken vs. fried chicken. Broiled fish vs. fried fish. When dining out, look for possible code words to healthier food with less saturated fat.
      Thumbs Up:
      • Baked, broiled, grilled
      • Poached, roasted, steamed
      • In its own juice, garden fresh
But it is possible to enjoy your vacation without packing extra pounds for the trip home. The secrets: choose foods wisely, make "moderation" your vacation mantra, and stay as active as possible during your trip.When you arrive at your destination, ask the hotel concierge or local residents what restaurants are nearby and what type of food they offer. Or, check out the local tourist restaurant guide; hotels often have these as do airport information booths.Better yet, investigate your eating options before you go. Email or call the concierge of your hotel and ask for restaurant suggestions. If possible, look these restaurants up online to see what their menu choices are. (Of course, if you've got Internet access via your phone, you can look this up during your trip.)
Here are more tips to help you take your diet on vacation:

Vacation Diet Tip No. 1: Go for Zero-Calorie Beverages

You don't need hundreds and hundreds of calories from beverages on top of the extra calories you'll be consuming from food. The good news is there are usually plenty of no-calorie drink options at most restaurants. Ask for lemon or lime for your glass of ice water or order unsweetened hot or cold tea, coffee, sparkling water, club soda, or diet soda.The bad news is that alcohol can be a diet disaster when you're on vacation. Many of us tend to drink more while on vacation -- perhaps frozen margaritas by day and a few glasses of wine by night. Each alcoholic drink can tack on about 150 to 450 calories.

Vacation Diet Tip No.2: Downsize Your Portions

It doesn't make sense to deprive yourself of enjoyable foods while you're on vacation. Instead,Cut by ordering an appetizer instead of an entree. You could also split an entree with your dining partner

Vacation Diet Tip No. 3: Ask Your Waiter 4 Questions

1. Ask how a dish is prepared and served. Then, you can request that your selection be prepared or served differently, if necessary. For example, meats that are fried can often be ordered grilled instead.Some Fats Are Good for You-Polyunsaturated fats: Help lower cholesterol. Found in fatty fish, vegetable oils, and nuts and sunflower seeds.Monounsaturated fats: Substituted for saturated fats in your diet, they help lower bad LDL cholesterol and don't reduce good HDL cholesterol. Found in canola oil, olive oil, olives, avocados, nuts, and nut butters.Opt for these
2. Ask for sauces, gravies, and dressings to be served on the side so you can use a modest portion.
3. Ask that your entree be served with fresh vegetables (no butter or sauce, please) or a side salad instead of the usual french fries.
4.Request whole grains whenever possible. Some restaurants offer 100% whole-wheat bread and buns, whole-grain blend pasta, tortillas, and steamed brown rice.

Vacation Diet Tip No. 4: Order Fruits and Veggies Every Chance You Get

Look for opportunities to order dishes that include high-nutrient, high-fiber fruits and vegetables Entree salads or side salads made with spinach or romaine lettuce are a fun way to get your vegetables. If you're ordering something like a shrimp or chicken, you can ask the restaurant to add some grilled vegetables.

Vacation Diet Tip No. 5: Be Careful With Dressings

Some types of condiments are super-high in calories and fat, especially creamy sauces and spreads like mayonnaise. Opt for condiments that contribute less than 25 calories per serving, like catsup, marinara, mustard, or BBQ sauce.

Vacation Diet Tip No. 6: Go Fishing in Restaurants

Make it a point to enjoy seafood when you eat out. It's a great way to get your weekly dose of fish and their heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. But there is a catch -- avoid battered and fried fish dishes. Instead, look for grilled (and non-buttered) selections. If the fish dish comes with a sauce, just order it on the side.

Vacation Diet Tip No. 7: Beware of the Table Munchies

If you're famished when you sit down at the restaurant, those table munchies -- like bread, crackers, or chips -- will be looking really good. But these little bites can add hundreds and hundreds of calories, and fill you up before your meal ever arrives. So tell your server you don't want any or order a no-calorie beverage and a salad or healthy appetizer instead.

Vacation Diet Tip No. 8: Have Dessert, but Share

Part of being on vacation is enjoying life, and part of enjoying life is ordering dessert when you really want to. If your meal has left you satisfied, you can take your dessert with you and enjoy it later when you are hungry again. You can also share your dessert with one or more dining partners, either at the table or later on.

Often it's the first few bites that we most enjoy anyway. So aim for satisfying your dessert craving with a handful of bites that you take the time to savor.

QUICK TIPS

Tropical oils like palm oil and coconut oil, and butter are also saturated fats. Cholesterol is found in animal fats. Primarily the saturated fat and the cholesterol

Don't Be Afraid to Ask

In restaurants where food is cooked to order, you can make special requests for lighter fare.If you're counting calories -- or keeping an eye on saturated fat, cholesterol, or sodium -- tell your server.
Ask what's in a dish. Find out how it's cooked. A chef can often prepare food using less oil, no butter, or no added salt. If there is sauce, salad dressing, or gravy, get it on the side. Then you can dip -- or skip -- and use less CHOLESTEROL  in the foods you eat increase your cholesterol levels

8 Fitness Habits That You Need to Start in Your 30s

In your 20s and 30s, your body is very different than it is in your 40s and 50s. In your younger years, it's easier to stay healthy, lose weight, maintain a good shape and pack on the muscles. As you age, it becomes a bit tougher.We take our bodies for granted,Eat wrong Drink Alcohol Skip Physical activity in short abuse our bodies to the fullest and its no wonder that that wrinkle on your cheek will come sooner than you expect,The dark circles,Dry skin and not to forget that denims you fit in will be discarded.Age is never an excuse so If you want to be healthy when you reach your 40s and 50s (and 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond), it's time to start forming a few fitness habits now while you're still young.
1. Drink More Water 

A lack of water leads to aging  retention, aging skin, a slow metabolism and many more problems. If you get in the habit of drinking water while you're still young, you can slow the effects of aging.Its a miracle what can be achieved just by drinking water

2. Regular Strength Training
As you age, you lose both muscle tone and strength. The less muscle you have, the fewer calories you burn every day. If you want to stay in shape, it's time to start regular strength training. Cut back on the cardio, and start hitting those weights or doing more body weight training.

3. Learn the Right Form 

Don't take your strength training for granted. While you don't need to worry too much about injuries while young, an older you is more likely to get hurt if you don't work out with the right form. Learn the proper form now.

4. Switch It Up 
If you're regularly changing up your workouts, you'll develop your body in a much more well-rounded way. Instead of sticking with the same cardio or strength training get used to changing your workouts on a monthly basis.

5. Replace Your running shoes Regularly 
You may be comfortable in that pair of trainers, but they wear out within six months of regular running. Build the habit of switching them up after six to eight months of use, and you'll avoid a lot of stress injuries that can be common among runners.

6. MAKE TIME-No excuses
If you have a time fitting in your workouts now, imagine how much harder it will be when you're older. Start making your workouts a part of your life, no matter how hard it is to find time.trust me your body will thank you for it!

7. Do Pilates or Yoga 


You can't just build muscle, you need to improve your balance, posture and flexibility as well. Either Pilates or yoga will be an excellent choice to help you stay fit in every area of your life, so add at least a day or two of these workouts to your weekly plan.

8. Enjoy It
If you can learn to enjoy your workout, it will be much easier to stick with it for years to come. Find ways to spice up the routine, such as listening to good music , doing exercise that you love


So until next time stay fit and keep reading www.bhumicka.com

Spot Reduction ABS? Separating Fact From Fiction!

Imagine how fab it would be if we can take any body part like your Abs arms butt thighs and make all the fat disappear by doing 1 magical exercise..How lovely life would be...We could get our dream abs  by doing just 200 crunches a day and spot reduce 
Unfortunately there isnt That 1 magical workout that can help you fat reduce from 1 spot
U can to some extent spot tone and slightly bring down the inches but that involves a lot of other work from eating right to doing cardiovascular activity.So 100s of clients come to me saying Oh i just want to lose weight from abs!!! Errr Ok !! Or several people in the gym religiously do crunches and situps every day! Duhhh!!!



Let me show you how it works


Just doing crunches wont help u lose that fat. Also there AREN'T ANY UPPER ABS AND LOWER ABS!!!.Anatomically speaking there is  no upper lower abs..The rectus abdominis is 1 single muscle ...They are called upper and lower abs because they are innervated by different nerves and hence emphasized differently
Also the term TONE is simply that u are going replace that gigggly fat with muscle and how can u do it Simply by weight training.Now by weight training i dont mean do crunches everyday!Weight training is when you are lifting enough weights One or 2 body part per day which benefits your metabolic rate.The more muscle you gain the higher your metabolic rate the more fat you will be burning over all.

You  also need consistent fat-burning cardio sessions and intervals, preferably a mix of long slow cardio sessions on an empty stomach and HIT  to lose fat around your waist.Like any other muscle in your body your ab is also a muscle.By doing 300 crunches every day u aren't going to benefit..Would you train your bicep or legs everyday?Treat your abs like any other muscle. U CANT SEE THE AB MUSCLE because we have a lot of fat covering it ...if u can see ur ab muscle (6 pack)using weights will get u more ripped...If it is under a layer of fat focus on diet and cardio then ab exercises in the first place Target it 2 times a week  max Variate the reps and keep it consistent with Hit and clean eating habits..This way the crunches would help ur ab muscle become strong and u get the tone..The cardio and the clever eating will help you get rid of fat overall.So the secret to the abs is not to train the muscle every day! Do you train chest or Biceps every day No! So why is the ab muscle any different?Training it every day will only over train the muscle.The best way is keep a consistent diet full of protein Fruits Vegetables and Fiber.Lift and do endurance activities 3-4 times a week and Your body will thank you.

QUICK TIP-----Your Abs are working every time you stand and sit straight. Even when you are exercising, your abs are being worked to stabilise your torso in almost all the EXERCISES like squats,Bentovers,etc. So high endurance is something that comes naturally to them, what you need is to strengthen them. For eg., if you are able to perform 50 crunches, then you will surely not be able to do 50 push ups with the same ease, because push ups are a lot tougher. Thus you need to choose such exercises which will work your abshard in few (5-20) reps to develop them.
So untill next time train your abs sensibly Eat right cardio hard and lets see those ab muscles soon
