Well, excuses never burnt calories ;)

Well, excuses never burnt calories ;)


Winters are just about to say Hello and how can they just pass by without having to see you in your sexy maxi dress gracing one such chilly evening! I was actually thinking about it the other day, when a cold breeze happened to brush my skin. I suddenly realised the weather was changing.

And the first thing that came to my mind was my favorite blue maxi dress I got from Forever New. It not only looked elegant, but also fulfilled the purpose of dealing with the chilly gust of air, something that the evenings now a days are really compatible with.

Who doesn’t want to look like a damsel? Of course we all do! But how many times do we end up loosing the motivated-self in that process and how many times do we actually get there. But you know what, it is that easy!

No, you don’t have to run for miles, but indulge yourself in some exercises after which you can answer questions like ‘have you been running a marathon’ better than a marathon runner.  Because these exercises will make you don that athletic body which till date has existed only in your dreams.

Trust me even I was accustomed to such thoughts a few years ago. But soon I realised it just takes an hour of your day and only 3-5 days a week. As a tyro, you can start with 3 days a week, then automatically your strength will increase. I remember I was first introduced to fitness through Yoga. I made it a part of my routine for almost two years. I would do Suryanamaskar, which is, saluting the sun through a particular sequence of Asanas. I would do it 108 times everyday and how could have I failed to see the results? It showed in every single strand of my hair and my body language just changed for good.

I became more fit, active and high on energy, which anyway I generally am ;) But trust me it does wonders to not only your body but to your mind as well. After two years of strenuous Yoga, I shifted to another kind of workout, which most of us call Gyming. And I must confess I quite like it.

You need not have to be a gold medalist in running or swimming or weight lifting, you can actually do with a bronze. Like I said, it just takes an hour of your day. To achieve that hourglass figure I have been doing cardio and few more exercises, which I thought would be a good idea to share with you all.

So, I start with ten minutes of treadmill followed by squats, crunches, weight lifting and elliptical cycle.

And if you can’t wait to get those flat abs, then crunches are the way to go. Basically the idea is to increase the muscle in your body and work towards gaining more strength. Within four weeks, you will see that your abs are appearing, the love handles have lost their existence, arms have achieved their target and legs have gone the lean and muscular way. Wasn’t that simple?
Just remember to keep hydrating yourself every now and then because while exercising the water in your body drains out and you need to refill the need. I am definitely waiting to see you in your favorite maxi dress. And if you don’t have one, then you know where to get an amazing piece; as always Forever New.

Step out in that semi-sheer or chiffon dress with cutout details exposing your flattering back, the key to have a perfect appearance. Pair up your favorite shoes with some minimal accessories to coordinate with your outfit, and no one would dare to stop such a damsel!
