For those who wanted to see me train, here is today's workout. In the first video I am doing what is called standing press - or military style standing press and weight is 25 kilos - It’s an upper body workout. The second one is called Olympic squat with 57 kilos. It's a lower body workout. I do 4 sets of 5 squats each. The Stratfit app gives me the warm up numbers and all the work wt sets are 4x5 reps each. (both military press and Olympic squat). NOW u are a pro #covidworkout #stayhome #stayfit

Being indoors for days on end can lead to the body stiffening up. One of the best ways to give your body the much-needed flexibility and toning, is through a few rounds of Surya Namaskaras . It’s a complete workout. To make it even more beneficial, I added a few variations. You can try it out too (if your body has no injuries and permits). It helps increase shoulder-&-core strength while improving back flexibility, stamina, and endurance. This one’s also a high calorie-burning variation, so performing about 8 to 16 repetitions every alternate day will also help reduce fat and increase metabolism too. Today, I’m grateful for the ability to share whatever knowledge I have with millions of people around the globe. Please do take care of your health and your families too. Stay indoors, stay safe. . @sairajyoga . . . . . #MondayMotivation #20DaysOfGratefulness #Day18 #SwasthRahoMastRaho #GetFit2020 #FitIndia #FitIndiaMovement #yoga #yogisofinstagram #SuryaNamaskara #stayhome #staysafe
