Indeed, gaining weight is not a pleasant experience at all. It makes one uncomfortable in several ways and also increases the risk of diseases like diabetes, obesity and thyroid to name a few.
"From 86 kg to 76 kg, from 38" to 33" in 58 days with intense bodyweight homebound workout and right diet," added Gandhi, while thanking his trainer Parth Adhyaru for being a guide, philosopher and friend in his fitness journey.
With regular practice, the right kind of training and diet routine, Gandhi was able to shed these kilos in such a short span of time. From squats to lunges to cobra pose, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, planks and push-ups, Gandhi did it all. The following videos show the actor's "Homebound workout".
Gandhi's fitness journey also shows that it is not important to go to the gym getting fit or building muscles. Yes, strength training with the help of lifting weights is crucial for building strength and stamina. But the same can be done with the help of body weight exercises like planks, push-ups and pull-ups well. What is needed, though, is the motivation and dedication to do it.
So here's is some #MondayMotivation for working out this week. Here's a home workout that you can do without any equipment at the comfort of your home. Let's do this!
