My Interview in India Today

My following quotes have appeared in recent issue of India Today.

NEW WORKOUT REGIMENS BEING LAPPED UP BY FITNESS FREAKS INCLUDE QIANGBO & TRX SUSPENSION TRAINING

IT'S A rare fitness enthusiast who doesn't get bored with routine workouts. The same old cardio and weight training sessions become monotonous after a while, and trainers need to keep people's interest levels high by coming up with new regimens. Here are some new routines that are providing a kick to endorphinaddicted enthusiasts in town.

CYCLING WITH SOME SPINS

IT HAS been around for the last few years, but has gained popularity of late. Spinning cycling is done on spin bikes which are advanced version of recumbent bikes. 



"While the conventional exercising cycles allowed forward and backward leg movements, spin bikes allow the leg to move upwards and downwards," Kiran Sawhney, owner of Fitnesolution. This cardiovascular workout offers a complete body workout, with special focus on leg muscles, hips, thighs and calves. "It can burn up to 600- 700 calories in an hour," adds Sawhney. 

This can be done in different positions depending on the level. Beginners can try the seated position which is the safest. Upright standing position is a weight bearing position, advised at an advanced stage. Experts can even try the standing position with forward bend. "You can do it alone or in a group.

It's advisable for a beginner to have an instructor supervise the speed, resistance and postures," says Sawhney.

THE X-FACTOR A full body workout, with special focus on legs, hips, thighs and calves COST: `2,000-3,000 per month CONS: The trainer has to be excellent as postures matter the most in this.
