Fitness is happiness

Fitness is not an activity but a lifestyle – this is the big lesson Kumar Amar learnt.

For someone who had always been into fitness, it came as a surprise that with start of career weight gain was unstoppable, though slow.

Health checks revealed a slight overweight of about 4 – 6 kgs and a BMI of 26. It was not until the weight brought along its partners of back ache and heel pain, that Amar knew it was time to take things seriously.

With Yoga, there was some improvement but to find a solution he had to meet an orthopedist, who confirmed that the problem lay in the weight and not the bones.

It was wake up call for Amar for he was toughing 40, beyond which reversal of figures could be difficult.

Timely meeting with the Wellness Community through his wife was a new dawn. The wellness coach explained about the pillars to lifestyle habits and ways to customize to suit his needs.

Taking up the monthly challenges thrown by the community sincerely and actively, Amar started seeing the small yet visible difference in his weight and fat loss.

Overtime, he became mindful of his eating habits and he was able to get back to his exercise routines, jogging.

He understood the need to watch his nutrition during high intensity workouts. In 4 months, his weight came down to 68 with BMI of 23.

With his weight coming down, Amar began to feel energetic and looked younger. The lockdown came as a blessing and he could focus on his health. He diligently worked to bring his weight down to 66 with the ideal BMI of 22. And guess what! He is now a coach for HIIT exercises in Tabata format.

“My college mates compliment me that I continue to look the same as I did during our college days! I owe a lot to WQ for this transformation.” Says a happy and healthy Amar.
