Neha Motwani, Founder & CEO, Fitternity:

My workout schedule involves working out 4-5 days a week, doing a combination of yoga, functional training and running, across multiple gyms and studios through Fitternity’s OnePass subscription. Fitness has always been an integral part of my life and has been the driving force behind me and my co-founder starting Fitternity.

I also ensure I do Surya Namaskars on the days when I don't end up working out. It has been my backup workout routine for a while now. Just 20 Surya Namaskars a day helps in building a good amount of flexibility and ensures a calm mind which is much needed especially during the current times.

Along with being physically active, it is also essential to keep yourself busy and work towards being mentally strong. I make sure to take regular breaks from work and like spending time with my family, meditating, unwinding by watching movies and reading up. The idea is to utilize the time in the most productive yet enjoyable way and take each day as it comes.

Fitness is something that has to be actively pursued to maintain a healthy and happy life. With social distancing being practiced, it is very easy for people to fall prey to a lethargic lifestyle and fall astray from their journey to fitness. Below mentioned are a few tips that can help people stay focussed and fit even while being in isolation:

  1. Have a fixed time to workout: It is important to crave out a particular time during the day that is dedicated to working out, in any form. This can either be the first thing in the morning or anytime during the day, but should be adhered to religiously everyday.
  2. Identify what workout suits you best: Individuals should attend virtual fitness classes or watch videos from experts that will help them understand what form of exercise works best for them. They can then customise their routine.
  3. Involve a family member: Workouts can also be made fun by involving a family member. Not only will it be a great way to break the monotonous workout routine but also boost up the energy level for all and help in bringing positive vibrations in the family. Dancing, Zumba or Yoga can also be done with family members.
