Q.10 What is your current workout routine?

The week is a mix of Cardio, Weight Training, HIIT. For weight training, I mainly include structural exercises in my training which helps me develop my core muscles.

My training lasts for an hour, which includes mobility drills at the beginning, preparation sets, weight training & then I sum it up with (very important) stretching.

Q.11 What supplements do you use?

Pre-workout: ESN Hyper Lean
Intra Workout: ESN Amino Lean
Post Workout: ESN Dessert Whey

Q.12 If you had to pick only 3 exercises, what would they be and why?

1: Flat Dumbbell Press (Chest):
This is a PUSH movement, principally targets your pectoral muscles. From a daily activity point of view, it helps train you to push an object against or above you.

2: Barbell Deadlift (Back):
This a compound movement and targets your back muscles. The FAT burning percentage is higher in this exercise, as all your core muscles are involved. This exercise helps you prepare to lift a heavy object from the ground which we do end up doing in our day to day activities.

3: Squats (Legs):
This again is a compound movement and targets your leg muscles. In this exercise your core muscles are involved, therefore the FAT burning percentage is higher. It’s essential to have strong legs for an overall aesthetic and full look to your physique.

Q.13 Where does your motivation come from?

I have face body-shaming in my teenage and it was difficult for me to react to it as I was a low confident girl but now that fear of being AVERAGE keeps me motivated. You can achieve anything in this world if you have the willingness backed by confidence & I strongly believe that a well-toned body is the first key to confidence.

Q.14 Who is your favorite fitness icon?

Hard work, dedication and most importantly perseverance. There is no elevator for success. Therefore a focused mind on your goals will definitely take you places. One should make a transition into the fitness profession with a game plan.

Q.17 What motivates you to train hard each week?

Q.21 Any Advice You for the people who are into fitness?

It is absolutely one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, you will feel better, look better, and learn core lessons that will serve you well as you navigate your journey up this mountain we call life.

The first time that you set foot in a gym, you are going to suck. You will feel weak, you will feel intimidated, and you will feel completely and utterly out of your depth.
But as the days and weeks progress, you will quickly find yourself improving, setting new personal records, and achieving heights of your strength and stamina that you once believed to be impossible.
