Fitness and health are a joke in this country

Hello guys. I am a fitness and nutrition consultant who is currently employed in fitness first and might be leaving soon given the politics over there and being the only female coach. Is there anyone who has worked with freelance clients or has an idea where to get good freelance clients in gurgaon. I have even taken a few corporate wellness sessions for companies. Looking for some stability. Feel like there's something I am missing on, as I have been 5 years in this industry now. Please suggest

Speaking for men, I am not aware of women's pov on this. The agency culture makes you believe that it's fine if you don't have time and energy to focus on your fitness because most of your time and energy is spent on 'work'. I am not saying that work isn't important. Definitely, it is and you should be dedicated to it, but not by ignoring your fitness. You have to report at 10.30 - 11 am, but your work starts as soon as you wake up and you don't know when your day will end. This makes you tired and you're not left with time to focus on any kind of exercise or activity. You accept the fact that you're not able to workout because of work. Even if you speak up about this to your management, they won't entertain you. They don't realise how important exercise fitness is for you to function at your best potential. My boss in my previous agency, a PR strategist, always prioritised mental and physical fitness and spoke about it to us. He also told us that your brain goes in a good direction automatically when you feel good and alive in your body, when you look fit, feel fit and feel confident. I see a lot of men actually putting down others who talk about fitness and encourage good health. This is not about top physic or athlete like body. This is about having some sort of physical exertion as a part of your lifestyle. This will be beneficial for you as well as your employer.

Do you guys have a diet plan? I haven’t followed any such plans so far, but I'm now thinking of having one. This is what I got from chatgpt. Any changes, please let me know:

Fitness enthusiasts, what's the most unconventional workout or diet that actually worked for you? What results did you see, and would you recommend it to others?

Is public health infrastructure really a joke here? I have been to foreign countries and the food tastes so different there. Even the quality of bread, fruits, fucking softest Croissant! When I came back here, I started observing how companies fooled us. Is brown bread really only whole wheat? If yes, why is maida added? Why do we see food colors, stabilizers which are banned elsewhere, to be vibrant here? The best Food Safety administration I have seen Is of Europe. They even have a website which flags unsafe foods. They constantly strive to update values of harmful chemicals, ban them unapologetically! Here we are, where, I hear about every contaminant from others. I hear about unsafe food in India from Foreign countries, youtube influencers and a liverDoc who published unsafe protein powder results. I thought it was the job of our agencies! Call me biased, unaware, whatever, but, I am truly sorry to see how unsafe our food and drug standards are and the total disregard for our public health and awareness infrastructure! Here's a video to open your eyes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHX6M19J1uM I understand biasness, but you can't disregard our faults and pathetic standards. If you dont believe we have bad standards, go on, have a international trip and see for yourselves! When did all our institutions who should be working for our betterment forsake ourselves?

Hi everyone! Next Month, we are reaching out to corporates for their health and fitness goals. Before that, I want to understand, as a startup/corporate employee, what difficulty you face while following a diet and workout.

The people I see running are people who are physiologically built for running, particularly the distance runners. Ditto for people who ride bicycles, swim, do cross fit, etc. The form of exercise invariably chooses the person rather than the other way around. Those who excel will generally be the ones whose physical make up “fits” the exercise best. It is not a matter of mental toughness or preparation or anything else: running likes runners, swimming likes swimmers, and strength training likes strong people. What about you?
