Most Effective Ways to Lose Weight! Reema Sarin, Founder BOLLYFIT talks to STAY FIT Magazine

Is permanent healthy weight loss really a possibility for you? Are you willing to make the necessary eating and lifestyle changes?

By now, we all know that fad or starvation diets are difficult to sustain and hence deliver the desired results!

To win the weight-war you must know how to lose weight and keep it off with an effective battle plan strategy to stick with through thick and thin.

These effective weight loss strategies can help you achieve excellent results.

Make a long-term commitment. Healthy permanent weight loss is about making a commitment to lifestyle changes for the long-term.

Pay attention to your calories. To lose a pound a week requires cutting about 500 calories a day. Most everyone who achieves permanent weight loss uses a food calorie chart to count calories and write them down.

Eat Like a King at Breakfast

There is a lot of truth to the old saying, "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, sup like a pauper” Eating a good healthy breakfast, usually results in staying off junk food during the day, as well as sticking to the daily calorie regimen.

Eat early and often. A healthy breakfast and 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day will give a boost to your metabolism, stabilize your blood sugar and ward off hunger pangs.

Pack in the Protein

Protein keeps you full longer than carbohydrates. Pad with protein. High protein foods help keep you feeling full, so include some with every meal. Choose omega 3 fish, lean poultry, beans, whole grains and nuts.

Eat Complex Carbohydrates

Switch from refined carbohydrates to the healthiest fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and 100% whole grains. These complex carbohydrates provide sustained natural energy and have much more fiber, so you feel fuller longer.

Eat Your Vegetables

Low-carb diets and high intake of vegetables works well for weight loss. Vegetables contain important nutrients and fiber. The low calories, fiber, water and high nutritional content of most veggies on the list of vegetables make them more fulfilling and nutritious at a lower calorie cost.

Choose a Diet You Can Stick to for the Long Term
Most people on diets do lose some weight, but unfortunately, few dieters maintain the weight loss for the long-term.  Most gain the bulk of weight back within a year or two.  Instead of trying to lose the weight more quickly, rather choose an eating plan with foods you enjoy, that you will be most likely to stick to. 

Consume Low-Fat Dairy Products

Consuming low fat dairy products in conjunction with cutting calories does help in losing weight around your middle, which is the abdominal fat that is unhealthy for your heart. It also helps in maintaining more lean muscle mass, which is usually lost along with fat tissue when dieting.

Boost Your Fiber Intake

Eat a healthy high fiber diet. People who lose weight and keep it off tend to eat a healthy, moderately low-fat high fiber diet. Increasing the amount of fiber in your diet can decrease hunger and increase satiety. Fiber does this by keeping food in your stomach longer.

Drink Enough Water!

Drink atleast 8 – 10 glasses of water every day. By replacing soda, coffee and alcohol with water, you can easily reduce your calorie intake.

Get Enough Sleep!
Staying up late nights, one does tend to snack on junk and fatty foods! it was found that those with more sleep restriction were more likely to eat junk food and less compliant with a weight loss regimen.  When we are sleep-deprived, high-fat and sugary foods seem much more attractive, probably because they give us a quick burst of energy.
Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!

Increase your physical activity. Exercise burns calories. Most people who lose weight and keep it off, exercise between 30 to 60 minutes atleast 5 times a week.

Plan your diets and fitness regimen, and do it. What are you going to eat tomorrow? How to eat healthy family meals, work lunches and while travel! How to resist temptations! List your challenges and create solutions with the above tips!

Success with these proven effective weight loss strategies for permanent healthy weight loss will also reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, arthritis, some cancer, diabetes and many other health problems.

'EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR MUSCLE MAKING' By Reema Sarin, Founder BOLLYFIT talks to THE ASIANWORLD Magazine

'EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR MUSCLE MAKING' By Reema Sarin, Founder BOLLYFIT talks to THE ASIANWORLD Magazine, Page 57
http://www.theasianworld.co.uk/online/Sept2014/Onlinenews_Sept2014.html

Proven strategies for building Muscle Mass
There is so much conflicting information out there when it comes to the topic of building muscle, and sometimes it can be very difficult to know where to start. If you’re an average beginner looking for some basic guidelines to follow in the gym, the following 8 points will start you off on the right track.
1) Train With Weights and Focus On Compound, Free Weight Movements.
If you want to make solid, noteworthy gains in muscle size and strength, you absolutely must train with free weights and focus on basic, compound exercises. A compound exercise is any lift that stimulates more than one muscle group at a time. Examples of these lifts are the squat, deadlift, bench press, chin up, barbell row, overhead press, dip and lunge. Compound movements allow you to handle the most weight and will stimulate the greatest amount of total muscle fibers.
2) Be Prepared To Train Hard.
One of the biggest factors that separates those who make modest gains from those who make serious gains is their level of training intensity. In order to stimulate your muscle fibers to their utmost potential.
Sub-maximal training intensity will leave you with sub-maximal results, plain and simple.
3) Track Your Progress In The Gym From Week To Week.
Our bodies build muscle because of an adaptive response to the environment. When you go to the gym, you break down your muscle fibers by training with weights. Your body senses this as a potential threat to its survival and will react accordingly by rebuilding the damaged fibers larger and stronger in order to protect against any possible future threat. Therefore, in order to make continual gains in muscle size and strength, you must always focus on progressing in the gym from week to week. This could mean performing 1 or 2 more reps for each exercise or adding more weight to the bar. Keep a detailed training log to track your progress as your strength increases over time.
4) Avoid Overtraining.
Overtraining is your number one enemy when it comes to building muscle size and strength. When most people begin a workout program, they are stuck with the misguided notion that more is better. They naturally assume that the more time they spend in the gym, the better results they will achieve. When it comes to building muscle, nothing could be farther from the truth! If you spend too much time in the gym, you will actually take yourself farther away from your goals rather than closer to them. Remember, your muscles do not grow in the gym; they grow out of the gym, while you are resting and eating. Recovery is absolutely vital to the muscle growth process. If you don't provide your body with the proper recovery time in between workouts, your muscles will never have a chance to grow.
5) Eat More Frequently.
The main area where most people fail miserably on their muscle-building mission is on the all-too important task of proper nutrition. Training with weights is only half of the equation! You break down your muscle fibers in the gym, but if you don't provide your body with the proper nutrients at the proper times, the muscle growth process will be next to impossible. You should be eating anywhere from 5-7 meals per day, spaced every 2-3 hours in order to keep your body in an anabolic, muscle-building state at all times. Each meal should consist of high quality protein and complex carbohydrates.
6) Increase Your Protein Intake.
Of the 3 major nutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) protein is without a doubt the most important for those who are looking to gain muscle size and strength. Protein is found in literally every single one of the 30 trillion cells that your body is made up of and its main role is to build and repair body tissues. Without sufficient protein intake, it will be physically impossible for your body to synthesize a significant amount of lean muscle mass. If your body were a house, think of protein as the bricks. A general guideline is to consume 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day from high quality sources such as fish, poultry, eggs, beef, milk, peanut butter and cottage cheese.
7) Increase Your Water Intake.
If you want a simple, easy and highly effective way to maximize your muscle gains, drinking more water is it. Water plays so many vital roles in the body and its importance cannot be overstated. In fact, your muscles alone are made up of 70% water! Not only will drinking more water cause your muscles to appear fuller and more vascular, but it will also increase your strength as well. Research has shown that merely a 3-4% drop in your body's water levels can impact muscle contractions by 10-20%! Aim to consume 0.6 ounces for every pound of bodyweight each day for optimal gains.
8) Be Consistent!
Consistency is everything. Those who make the greatest gains in muscular size and strength are the ones who are able to implement the proper techniques on a highly consistent basis. Simply knowing is not enough, you must apply!
Building muscle is a result of the cumulative effect of small steps. Sure, performing 1 extra rep on your bench press will not make a huge difference to your overall results, and neither will consuming a single meal. However, over the long haul, all of those extra reps you perform and all of those small meals you consume will decide your overall success. If you work hard and complete all of your muscle-building tasks in a consistent fashion, all of those individual steps will equate to massive gains in overall size and strength.

INTERVIEW WITH Reema Sarin, Actor, Model, Dancer & Founder BOLLYFIT

Posted on September 11, 2014 by nevil in Editors Pics, Expert Interviews, Featured

In talks with Reema. She has performed in many music videos, including for MTV. Reema has performed BOLLWOOD and BOLLYFIT Dance performances internationally for large festivals, weddings and corporate events in Dubai, Singapore, Spain, Phuket and New York.

Q. Tell us a little bit about your personal journey as a fitness coach and choreographer?

I have been training in different genres of dance and fitness since I have been in school, including training in multiple dance forms including the Flamenco, Latin dances, Tango, Jazz and Modern Dance at Arthur Murray Dance Studios in New York, San Francisco and Delhi School of Music.  I have international experience and training in the Fitness Industry in the US, Australia and in South East Asia.  I have trained in multiple dance forms including the Flamenco, Latin dances, Tango, Hip-hop, Bollywood, Jazz, Kathak, Bhangra and Modern Dance at Arthur Murray Dance Studios in New York, San Francisco, Arts In Motion Dance Studio Mumbai, The Delhi School of Music & The Bhartiya Kala Kendra. I recently performed in the MTV-PNC (Pritish Nandy Communications) Music Video Promo, aired recently on MTV.

I am also one of the leading Fitness Dancer & Choreographer in the country. I have conceptualized and launched the‘BOLLYFIT’ Dance Program, which is a fusion of scintillating and sophisticated Bollywood and fitness dance moves, which are carefully synchronized to popular Bollywood music. It’s the only one of its kind fitness dance choreography which gives you the amazing thrill of Bollywood dancing along with the fun combination of international dance aerobics and step dance aerobic moves to your favorite fast paced Bollywood music!

I have also organized Fitness Dance Shows, including at the Youth Nexus Festival’ for Reebok, sponsored by HT City in Delhi, for the DRDO (Defense Research Organization of India), ‘Dublin Night-Club’ in Delhi, ‘Venom Lounge’ in Hyderabad, amongst others.

Birth of BOLLYFIT

I was finding that our people were getting increasingly fitness conscious, and are constantly looking for new, innovative and fun ways to work out, lose weight, without getting bored. It was also around that time, that Bollywood and ‘indipop’ music underwent a huge change and became more in sync with international sound and faster beats, which also gave birth to ‘Bollywood remix’ music and new Bollywood dance choreographies, all of which became a huge hit globally. So I experimented and conceptualized BOLLYFIT, a vigorous fitness dance exercise which is a fusion of Bollywood, bhangra, flamenco, modern contemporary, jazz and hip-hop dance steps with international dance aerobics, step dance aerobics and cardio kick-boxing moves to Bollywood music at 200 beats per minute (bpms), the fastest in the fitness dance industry globally!

The calorie burning exercises ensure that you get a real workout without feeling the burden of exercise. The vigorous dance moves work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, giving you a well balanced full body workout, which help you de-stress and unwind as you workout .

Q. What do you love about your work?

I am super passionate about Dancing, Bollywood Music and Fitness, and it is very rewarding when you see people appreciate you and your creation, which in my case is my BOLLYFIT program. I am a people’s person, and I love interacting with adults, students, children and doing BOLLYFIT and Bollywood Dance Workshops with them. I love the stage, music and the euphoria of big shows and my work is just that.

Q. How does dance compare with other fitness routines like yoga, running or working out at a gym?

DANCING is a huge CALORIE BURNER. Be it Bollywood, Disco, Modern Dancing, Jazz, Hip-hop, Salsa, Samba, Flamenco or Break-dance – all of them involve a mix of fast (high impact) and moderate (low impact) cardio, muscle toning and fat burn moves. Infact, industry research shows that one can burn between anything above 200 calories with just 30 minutes of dancing, which means you can burn nearly 400 calories per hour! What could be a better way to shed the love handles and the extra pounds than dancing to your favorite ‘Bollywood’, ‘Rock’, ‘Indipop’, ‘Western pop’, ‘Techno’ or ‘Reggae’ music atleast once a week.

Q. What are the benefits of joining the Bollyfit Program that you founded?

BOLLYFIT is a vigorous dance workout and a fantastic fusion of scintillating and sophisticated Bollywood, Bhangra, Salsa Flamenco, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk and Modern dance moves with international Dance Aerobics, Step-Dance Aerobics and Cardio Kick-Boxing moves to your favorite Bollywood, Bhangra and Indipop Remix music at 200 beats per minute (bpms), the fastest in the dance and fitness industry globally! BOLLYFIT is an intense calorie burner and provides a great workout, burning anything from 500 – 700 calories!  BOLLYFIT is for everyone – men, girls, children!

The calorie burning exercises ensure that you get a real workout without feeling the burden of exercise. The vigorous dance moves work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, giving you a well balanced full body workout, which help you de-stress and unwind as you workout.

BOLLYFIT has glamorized ‘fitness’ in India and abroad as it is the first fitness dance program to be taught in nightclubs and discotheques, which has been a great hit, as for the first time, a fitness workout has moved out from Gyms and Fitness Clubs, to Nightclubs. Also, being and actor, model and a dancer, I have conceptualized BOLLYFIT shows! BOLLYFIT sculpts your body like a Dancer’s’ and is a sure shot calorie burner. The fitness dance moves work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, all very addictive and help you actually de-stress and unwind as you workout.

“My classes are fun, high energy, fast paced and rejuvenating. ‘It is actually not just about losing weight, but about keeping fit; improving flexibility, stamina, endurance, strength and leading a high-energy life. People join the ‘BOLLYFIT’ Program to work out in high energy and power filled group fitness classes.”

Q. What lifestyle advise for the Facebook, fast food & colas generation?

My advice to Gen X is that Intense cardio exercise routines, ideally 30 – 40 minutes, at least 3 – 4 times a week, with a combination of strength training exercises for your arms and legs and floor workouts for toning your abdominal and Gluteus muscles for another 20 minutes. The combination of the above is has proven to be very effective and will give you excellent results in just a few weeks!

Do change your cardio workouts at least twice a week to incorporate Running, Power Walking, Cycling, Swimming, Aerobics and other cardio workouts with Gym machines. Remember; never let your body get used to any one type of work out. For effective weight loss and fitness, you need to keep surprising your muscles with new types of fat burn exercises which have proven to give far greater results in a relatively shorter duration of time.

For Dance Aerobic workouts, the latest trend is to keep the moves simple and yet interesting as opposed to complicated choreography. To get the maximum out of your workouts, choose your favorite music and songs, with fast beats and good rhythm (at least 140 beats per minute). Fantastic upbeat music is a true energy booster and believe me it will simply do wonders to motivate you and make you workout to your optimum potential.
Enjoy yourself and let your music work you out!

Keep your diet wholesome and healthy – Diet should be high in Protein with some Complex Carbohydrates, Fruits, Vegetables; LOW in fat, fried foods, deserts and processed foods. Last but not the least, keep your system hydrated and flushed! So your water should significantly high – atleast 8 glasses per day if not more!

And if you really want to drop weight – Cut out Alcohol and reduce EXCESS SALT intake. And watch the phenomenal Results!

So folks, keep your DIET HEALTHY & your FITNESS REGIME & WORKOUTS INTERESTING. Enjoy your work-outs with lots of good music; keep the ‘FITNESS IS FUN’ spirit alive!

Awake to Obesity! Reema Sarin, Actor, Dancer & Founder BOLLYFIT talks to STAYFIT Magazine

With fatty fast foods becoming increasingly popular with both youngsters and adults today, Obesity is becoming a huge health hazard. Apart from fast foods, today Trans Fat is used in all kinds of snacky foods, which also adds to fat accumulation in all our problem areas, especially the Abdominal area! Trans fats are created when hydrogen is added to unsaturated vegetable fats. This solidifies the fat, making it easy to use in commercial baked goods. Unfortunately, Trans fats are a cause of artery-clogging, just as in the case of butter or bacon. Worse, trans fats can be found in foods that are marketed as healthful, such as energy bars. They are also found in margarine, commercial baking mixes (such as in pancake, cake and muffin mixes), as well as in baked goods, microwave popcorn, powdered hot chocolate or coffee creamer, and any item with ‘hydrogenated oil’ in the ingredients.

However, there is a way now to measure fat content in the body and hence control Obesity before it is too late!
Here is a chart that shows the danger zone of being Obese:

Body mass index is the measurement for studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. (BMI=kg/m²).

Risk of Associated Disease According to BMI and Waist Size
BMI		Waist less than or equal to 40 in. (men) or 35 in. (women)	Waist greater than 40 in. (men) or 35 in. (women)
18.5 or less	Underweight	--	N/A
18.5 - 24.9	Normal	--	N/A
25.0 - 29.9	Overweight	Increased	High
30.0 - 34.9	Obese	High	Very High
35.0 - 39.9	Obese	Very High	Very High
40 or greater	Extremely Obese	Extremely High	Extremely High

Awake to the call of emergency!

People that are leading unhealthy lives; skipping breakfast, eating junk food and do not exercise have all contributed to the rise of obesity. Also, Obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults.

Also, obesity not controlled, is feared to overtake smoking as the biggest cause of heart disease. Obesity can also cause strokes and diabetes. It is therefore vital that obesity is targeted at an early age, by leading a healthy and productive life.  

Variety and moderation is the key to healthy eating. Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophy, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about having more energy, keeping yourself healthy and hearty. All this can be achieved by following these simple tips:

·         Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods.

·         Eat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it's easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy.

·         Eat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. Also, when you're very hungry, it's also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Snacking between meals can help curb hunger, but don't eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal.

·         Reduce, don't eliminate certain foods. Most people eat for pleasure as well as nutrition. If your favorite foods are high in fat, salt or sugar, the key is moderating how much of these foods you eat and how often you eat them. Choose skim or low-fat dairy products and white meats like Chicken and Fish.

·         Avoid Skipping Meals: Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Skipping meals does not help weight loss. It leads to low blood sugar which can cause sudden hunger pangs which may result in binging or food cravings. In fact, people who skip breakfast are more likely to be overweight than those who consume a proper breakfast.

Exercise regularly to burn the Fat! Ofcourse, one must follow a regular fitness regime to keep those calories burning and for building more muscle mass.

Reema Sarin interviews with the Health and Fitness India network

• Posted by Shakti Saran on September 1, 2014 at 5:32pm
• View Blog

Hi All, 

I'd like to thank Ms. Reema Sarin an actor, model, dancer & founder BOLLYFIT to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows: 

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry? 

Well, I started BOLLYFIT about 10 years ago in 2004. At that time, I found that people were getting bored of the traditional aerobic workouts, and were looking for new ways to keep fit and lose weight. It was around that time, that ‘bollywood remix’ music and new bollywood dance choreographies became a huge hit globally.

I decided to mix all 3 popular rages– that is International Fitness moves (Aerobics, Step Aerobics and Cardio Kick-boxing); Bollywood dancing and Bollywood music (at increased speeds) so one can get a high energy fun workout!

BOLLYFIT is my own fusion of sophisticated bollywood, bhangra, hip-hop, jazz, modern, funk, flamenco and fitness dance and aerobic dance moves, synchronized to popular bollywood music at 200 beats per minute, the first of its kind and the fastest in the dance and fitness industry globally!

How important is fitness in today’s fast paced life: 

A healthy body complements a healthy mind. Both go hand in hand. Exercising is the best stress buster, and in today’s fast paced times, it certainly helps to keep fit by engaging in any kind of fitness activity or sports.  Fitness should be a key component in anybody's life simply for the fact that it makes you feel better. Here are some key reasons and benefits of being Fit:

More ConfidenceOne of the first benefits that come to mind is confidence or raised self esteem. After all when you feel good you look good and that definitely shows in a person if they take care of themselves.

More Energy

People that exercise have or seem to have more energy than people that don't. For example, if you where to do cardio in the morning before you went to work, your day would run smoother and you would be more upbeat for the day? Working out might seem like a chore at first. You might even feel like you have no energy to workout. However remember this, working out on a regular bases give you more energy in the long run.

More Organized

I am drawing from personal experience here but whenever I am on a structured program or workout regime, I become more organized in other areas of my life. Area's such as work, friends, family and leisure time. So try making fitness a part of your life. You never know what you might be able to accomplish.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

Being in the industry for a decade now, today,  I am a well known fitness model and fitness media personality. I recently completed both, the Delhi and the Mumbai Marathons of 21.097 kms, much before the stipulated time of 3 hours and received medals for both races respectively.

I am a leading Fitness and Bollywood Dancer & Choreographer in the country, with international experience and training in the Fitness Industry in the US and in South East Asia (including Australia).

I conceptualized and launched my ‘BOLLYFIT’ Dance Program, which is a fusion of scintillating and sophisticated bollywood and fitness dance moves, which are carefully synchronized to popular bollywood music.

It’s the only one of its kind fitness dance choreography which gives you the amazing thrill ofbollywood, jazz and funk dancing along with the fun combination of international dance aerobics, step dance aerobic and cardio kick boxing moves your favorite fast paced bollywood music of speeds of 200 beats per minute (bpms)!

I have has organized Fitness Dance Shows, including at the Youth Nexus Festival’, sponsored by HT City in Delhi, ‘Dublin Night-Club’ in Delhi, ‘FBAR (renamed as ‘Venom Lounge’) in Hyderabad, amongst others. 

I have launched the BOLLYFIT Program’ as a motivational fitness dance program in schools (The American School, Delhi), corporate companies (AppLabs, IBM) and Hotels (Taj Group, Four Seasons Group) and Resorts all over India. I have been instrumental in promoting fitness in, as well as in introducing and promoting BOLLFIT group fitness workouts in all the premier Fitness Clubs and Gyms in the country.

I have showcased the ‘BOLLYFIT’ programs, on all the prime TV channels in the country, including STAR News, ZEE, Aaj Tak, CNBC (Goodlife Program), ‘Raat Baki’ on NDTV (Bollywood Fitness Parties), as well as given interviews to the mainline dailies, lifestyle and fitness publications and magazines like Times of India, Hindustan Times, Pioneer, Atelier Diva, Hotel Business Review, Capitol Post, amongst others.

“My classes are fun, high energy, fast paced and rejuvenating. ‘It is actually not just about losing weight, but about keeping fit; improving flexibility, stamina, endurance, strength and leading a high-energy life. People join the ‘BOLLYFIT’ Program to work out in high energy and power filled group fitness classes.”

BOLLYFIT is a sure shot calorie burner. The fitness dance moves work out each and every muscle in your body in a very distinct way, all very addictive and help you actually de-stress and unwind as you workout.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I encourage clients to adopt fitness as a lifestyle and make it a part of their everyday regimen, so they remain healthy in their daily lives. There are many new Fitness workouts that are working wonders, as they not only are excellent calorie burners, but are fantastic for muscle toning and building strength and stamina. They help to Increases your speed, balance, flexibility, coordination and sharpens reflexes.

Additionally, they provide the ‘fun element’, which ensures that you get an enjoyable workout without feeling the burden of exercise. It releases what we call in layman terms ‘happy hormones’ in the body, leaving you feeling great!

For any exercise, Mornings is the best time as the body has maximum energy in the morning after a night’s sleep.

For exercise, they should wear comfortable cotton, lycra exercise clothes, which includes tshirts, stretch pants, tights, aerobic dance wear. Basically, cloths that don’t restrict aerobic and dance movements and allow the skin to breathe and allow full body movement. But even more important thing are the shoes – they need to be of a flexible sole for dance movement and have a good base to provide substantial support for high impact landing.

I also advise my clients to adopt healthy eating habits, and adopt a high protein, low fat and complex carbohydrate diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and water intake. 

Eating - thumb rule - Calories in have to be less than Calories burnt. So eat healthy on most days. NEVER GO ON CRASH DIETS. Eat lots of protein - daals, tofu, fruits and vegetables. White meats instead of Red. So chicken and fish are better than lamb, pork, other red meats. Just cut out excess salt, sugar, alcohol, fried snacks (so no samosas, chips, etc). There are plenty of low fat snacks to have, for e.g.like a whole wheat toast with tomatoes and some pepper, instead of say a cheese toast. Deserts - stick to jellos, etc not the heavy deserts like 'halwa', creamy deserts, etc. Stick to Low fat milk and yogurt.

Avoid white carbohydrates - so no 'maida' and stick to whole wheat pastas and breads.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

We are finding that our people are getting increasingly fitness conscious, and are constantly looking for new, innovative and fun ways to workout, lose weight. For optimum fitness, it is good for your body to experience different kinds of workouts.

Fitness professionals at times stick to old and outdated fitness regimes which aren’t very effective and also get boring for clients. Sometimes fitness professionals also tend to follow 1 type of fitness routine and in doing so, wear out the body muscles.My advise to all fitness professionals is to stay updated with new fitness regimes and vary the fitness routines they teach their clients. 

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now? 

With Bollywood music becoming increasingly popular not only with Indians but also expats, professionally I see myself and BOLLYFIT going global! Today, I teach Bollywood ‘Rock Aerobic’, ‘Pop Aerobic’ and marathon advanced ‘Trance Aerobic classes’, which are all very addictive forms of exercise.”

BOLLYFIT Dance is one of the latest and most innovative concepts, that is taking both, fitness and dancing to a completely new level as it talks about a completely new concept internationally, called 'fitness dancing'. BOLLYFIT has completely glamorized fitness, as it is also the first fitness dance program to be taught in nightclubs and discotheques (during non night-club hours), which has been a great hit, as for the first time, a fitness workout has moved out from Gyms and Fitness Clubs, to Nightclubs.

The special BOLLYFIT moves strengthen your muscles and the BOLLYFIT stretches really increase flexibility and really relaxes all your limbs.  Some of the super fast high energy dance moves will give you fantastic workout as you feel your fitness level going to a higher level, giving you increased calorie burn.
