Mumbai gets into fitness resolution modeMumbai gets into fitness resolution mode
in Januaryin January
For some, it's a promise to travel more, for others it's probably a plan to
get their finances in place, but the one resolution that stands out and is
practically on everyone's list, is to get fit. Everyone gets into a reverse
mode in January after the late nights, partying and festive indulgences in
December. It's not surprising then to see a rise in gym memberships and
fitness queries in the city. Here's what exercise season is about this time...

Talking about the rise in gym memberships and fitness queries with the
onset of the new year, Rakesh Shetty, a gym manager in Andheri, says, "I
have received at least 16 calls yesterday from the usual three to four a day.
In fact, we saw a record number of new joinees in a single month in last
January, too."
While weight gain is the most common bane, it's also different strokes for
different folks. Says fitness trainer Ankit Maheshwari, "Usually holiday
weight gain is around the waist, so the goal for most people is to get their
waistlines back. And it's not just a resolution, they want a proper exercise
chart to target the various muscles groups."
Gym sales counsellor Darshana Mohindar Dhanu adds, "We have had lots
of queries since the new year began, in fact, by more than 60%. People
call to ask about offers and about regimens for inch loss and toning up.
For corporate folk, who have sedentary jobs, building the core and
increasing flexibility tops their priority lists."

Savio D'Souza, who runs with a group at Nariman Point and Priyadarshini
Park, says that more people want to make a fitness start in January.
"Though we train throughout the year, it is in January when there is a
focus on self-wellness. I have all ages training with me, even someone
who is 75 is training for the 21-km marathon that's coming up in the city."
For Byram Dhalla, owner of a trucking company, it's all about returning to
his favourite fitness activity. "I've been running in the city for 15 years now.
It took a backseat with work and other commitments, but I want to bring
running back into focus soon as the year has begun on a new note. The
activity gives me great health and I've decided to keep up the practice,"
says the adventure enthusiast, who also drove from London to Mumbai in
early October.
Tardeo-based advertising planner Arthi Basak has made a list of running
goals at the start of the year. "My aim is to run at least 200 days a year. In
my line of work, I can't do a gym workout as I'm usually travelling or
having late nights. In Mumbai, you can only run early morning or post
sundown, so this it fits right into my schedule. I also want to better my
running
timing. Currently I do 2:20 minutes for a half marathon; my dream is to
clock flat two hours. Of course, it doesn't come just like that, so my
resolution is to run more regularly and dedicate myself to the sport as
much as I can."

Kemps Corner-based zumba fitness instructor, Kanchi Shah says, "The
second week is when people shake off the post-holiday fatigue by toning
up. The diet is back to being restricted and women want an exercise
regimen to support this. So, we have had a few queries about taking up
zumba. Most calls are from homemakers who want to find the time
exercise in the middle of the day when they are free."
Fusion workouts are also pushing people to get trim again. Karishma Patel
teaches 'piloxing', which is a mix of pilates and boxing. "There is a
definitive demand to do something different and piloxing is high on the
list," she says, adding, "It's a high energy blend of pilate moves and dance.
This is a barefoot workout and as the nerves of the body are connected to
the feet, this works to stimulate them and builds balance. A lot of
corporates have come forward to try this as their jobs have them sitting for
hours."
It gets exotic, too. Big on the list is Muay Thai, a combat sport based on
the martial arts of Thailand; it helps shed up to 500 calories an hour. Says
trainer Amit Lalwani, "A lot of people make a resolution to do something
more intense like Muay Thai. People tell me that have seen this in
Bangkok and Pattaya and are keen to try make this their new workout,
too."

Yes, you may have made exercise a top resolution in your mind, but as
they say, take step at a time. Instead of costly gym memberships and
fancy gear, start with putting on your running shoes. Also keep the fitness
goals practical and realistic. You can't lose weight magically. So, begin
with small 10 minute walks every day; switch to taking the stairs instead of
the elevator and try simple stretches at the park, before embarking on an
intense workout.
