As a teenager I had injuries that were addressed by traditional medicine, castes to keep movement limited and handful of painkillers, which did not make it any better in the long term. That is where I decided movement should be prioritized as well; which led me to my doctorate of physiotherapy.

When I got into physiotherapy college I was underweight, skinny fat’ and weak. I was also aware that I would struggle with treating patients if I myself was this physically weak. That’s when I started working out to get stronger and leaner. I gained 15kgs but got stronger and leaner. The idea was to build strength; regardless of size! That is why I wanted to help others be too strong!

College holidays are a getaway from the daily stress of life and eating/overeating comes as a part of the vacation. Basically there is loss of routine!

Don’t beat yourself up for it. Try getting back to routine by getting back to a schedule and eating more at home than out. Stick to a routine. Take your meals to college with you.

As a college student exercising is essential to keep yourself stress free and focused but the trick is to keep it manageable. Start with 20-30 minutes a day, either when you wake up or right after you come back from college.

Initially making it a part of the routine and getting past the feeling of ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ is the struggle. Avoid leaving it for when you will be free, that is probably when you will be too tired and decide not to do it. Once you make it a part of your daily life, you will be willing in to fit in a workout in your schedule much easily.
