Sprint workouts are without exception, one of the most powerful ways to burn fat, shoot up the metabolism and transform your physique. A lot of people have this myth that they need to be an athlete to perform sprints or sprints are not for untrained individuals.

Here is one of the many sprint interval circuits or circuit training you can perform:
Repeat the cycle 4 times with a 3 min break in between. You can also design your own circuit training by minimising the time in between rest intervals and increasing the distances.

Even if it is done it is generally the last movement in the exercise spectrum which involves some substandard dumbbell as weight just […]
Tell me truthfully, when you read “Lose 40kgs in 7 days” what was your first thought ? For few, it sounded funny and actually quite stupid, as these individuals, know the facts, simple logics & science behind weight/fat loss. But for most of others, this title looked quite normal to them, and they actually came […]
Well I am literally pissed off, pissed off from the dumbness of trainers, stupidity of dieticians, and now a third category which may involve the above two or may be independent, is the social media influencers. It’s not just because of the stupid myths they are spreading, but surprisingly they are re-spreading the myths which […]
