Fitnessia-Week 3

 

Hello readers!

I hope you all had an illuminating and a wonderful Diwali, now after a sweet break we are back with FITNESSIA edition. This blog is all about the 3rd , that was the last week of FITNESSIA 2022.

Just to brief you guys in short ‘FITNESSIA-30 HOURS OF FITNESS AND FUN’ was a 30-hour fitness program which covered 20 different activities focusing not only on physical health but also on mental and emotional well-being. 

• Monday 26th September:  GYM 101 by Mr. Pankaj Manjrekar. 

Now-a-days everyone has become a gym freak, they want to stay fit and be in better shape but are not much aware about their own body and how to use the gym equipments efficiently. Our instructor Pankaj sir cleared all our doubts regarding the use of different gym equipment’s and also guided us how to not use it so that we don't harm ourselves while exercising. Altogether, it was an informative and useful session for all the gym freaks out there.

                                      

                

• We had two workshops on Tuesday 27th September: Laughter Yoga Workshop by Sunder Bishnoi and Confession Box by Anwita Dixit.

Laughter Yoga is not a comedy in fact it is an exercise program developed by Indian physician Dr Madan Kataria where anyone and everyone can laugh without relying on humour, jokes or comedies. This workshop was all about that. Our instructor made us seamlessly laugh. Along with that we also got to know how important laughter is in our life. It not only makes our inner self happy but laughter is so contagious that it makes people around us also happy.

We always want someone around us who we can share things with. There is a lot going on in everyone's mind but we are scared to talk about it. The whole idea of this session was to talk our hearts out by staying anonymous and it became so easy with the help of Anvita ma'am. It was such an interactive session. A lot of things that were in our heads got cleared out and we got to know how people have different perspectives in life relating to similar situations

                                            

           

• Wednesday 28th September: Aerobics Workshop by Mr. Sandesh Bare.

Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercises with stretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness. This session started with Sir explaining to us about aerobics and taught us a few steps and we performed these steps on different Bollywood songs. It was quite a refreshing and an energetic session.

   

• Thursday 29th September: Self Defense Workshop by Miss. Muskaan Tinani.

Self-defense has become one of the most important aspects in everybody's life. Basic self-defense techniques are something we all must know. To educate our participants regarding it, our instructor Ms. Muskaan Tinani taught us accessible and easy to grasp techniques such as blocks, hand twists, sweep and fall and many more. Altogether it was a very knowledgeable and helpful session.

                                   

• Saturday 1st October again we had to two workshops: Breath Focus by Bhumi Dali and HIIT Workshop by Irfan Qureshi.

Breath focus helps you concentrate on slow, deep breathing and aids you in disengaging from distracting thoughts and sensations. Our instructor Bhumi ma’am first made us do some simple breathing exercises, followed by some partner exercises in which we focused on breathing movements of our own and of our partner. Overall, it was an interactive and peaceful session.

HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise alternated with low intensity recovery periods. Our HIIT workshop began with some warm up, followed by a bit of intensive exercises such as planks, jumping jacks, etc. Our instructor Irfan sir also shared with us various exercises to enhance our strength and stamina. Altogether it was a very power pact session.

                                 

• Sunday 2nd October: Dance Therapy Workshop by Madhuri Talim which was conducted online.

Dance therapy is the use of movement to promote emotional, social, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being. Our instructor helped us by making us comfortable with our own body by the use of small movements. The workshop was all about how we can use dance for self-awareness and peace. Overall, it was a very calming session.

               

• Tuesday 4th October: Garba Workshop by Pooja Saraf.

Since Navratri season was going on we decided to have this garba session. Garba is usually considered as an energetic dance form. We got to learn so many different garba steps from our instructor. There were a variety of colours, dresses, and cultures all around us. All in all, it was a really vibrant and colourful sight for the eyes. Nothing could have been better than ending fitnessia on this note.

 

These are all the fun and exciting workshops we had for almost a month for Fitnessia 2022. It was really an amazing experience for everyone. Stay tuned for Fitnessia 2023.

See you all next week.
