Right To Better Living

Home workouts I have friends who have some Fitness equipment at home. The reason they fetched one was that they found it difficult to attend gym. They thought having an equipment will give them freedom to work out at home anytime they wished. But it hadn't happened that way. They all were very regular when they first bought it. In next few months, the frequency of workouts decreased and today that fitness equipment is lying ideal catching dust. This is true for almost all people who decided to work out at home. In my earlier post, I advocated setting up home gym working out at home. But if this is what happens to most people, then what is the way out? Actually the lack of equipment or time is not the real reason for not working out. In fact these are pure excuses.

Doing all this, running all day around and still not having enough to eat. Few of them tried fa

Foods for protein intakePhoto Credit Wikipedia For last 5-6 years I have focused on various aspects of fitness and nutrition. After a thorough research, I am able to pin point where the bug stops. The major reason for weight gain, I found, was over-abundance of carbohydrates in the diet. The other equally important reason was lack of enough protein. Not convinced? For a day, just see what you eat throughout the day and you will know what I am talking about. For vegetarians things are even worse. There is no denying that vegetarians lack adequate protein intake. We have loving moms who never stop serving us piping hot chappatis. We have grand moms who are always ready to pour in butter in our rice preparations. Husbands have wives who make them finish up the things so that nothing is left over in the night. I have nothing against such approaches. Neither did I disregard the love of women we have in our lives. But we must understand what is good for us and what is not so g
