"I have been largely off sugar since the lockdown -- by default. He doesn't care much for sweet things. And we haven't introduced Nihal to sugar yet ( her son). "I do have dahi cheeni (1 tsp) every night though. No real need for it. So I am up for this challenge ( 21 day no sugar)," she wrote. Paatal Lok: Gul Panag’s ‘Mrs Renu Hathiram Chaudhary’ Is Loveable Yet Subtly Complex And It Should Not Go Unnoticed

#lockdownlearnings So as I was saying . Fitness . Acknowledging that each day is going to be a challenge is a great start. It means I’m set up to look for solutions. Not excuses . I set a goal of 100 pushups for my self ( in 4-5 sets) at the start of lock down. My push up form improved. I now do what my Dad calls a classic push-up. Narrow stance arms flushed with body- targeting triceps ( for those bat wings ) . Earlier I did the relatively easier wider stance . This targets biceps and deltoids in addition to pectorals. I now mix up both forms . Have added raised leg as a variation thanks to @murgiii of @saltchennai . •HIIT lower body workout involves jump squats , lunges and box jumps . I use a Tabata timer to maximum efficiency. • HIIT lower body involves push-up jacks , mountain climbers and variations of pushups and dips. • The third day I do 100 suryanamaskara ( there’s an IGTV video I’ve uploaded ). It takes 28-30 minutes , leaves my spine supple and my skin flushed clean. • Then I do stairs . Goal is 100 floors( details in previous post ). Sometimes I do 55 or 66 . Always a multiple of 11 as building where I live had 11 floors . Every 11 floors, I do the next 11 skipping one step which creates an inclined lunge. HE too is doing his thing . Although in a different league. Like 150 pushups in a go types💁🏻‍♀️ . Having a spouse equally committed helps. We push each other on days when one doesn’t feel like exercising. I had folks ask me how did I get fitter with all that I’m eating ( duly chronicled in my stories - more for me really ). Well, it not what you eat, but how much of it you eat . But more on that later. For now goal is clap push-ups. 💁🏻‍♀️. P.S. #nofilter . Lots of sweat.
