Are you a working personal with a formal job and trying to get into armed forces as an officer?,
No time to hit to the gym?
We all know that fitness plays an important role in SSB interview;
Here are simple 7 hacks to control your weight as you want and kick your fitness level to the sky. For better understanding of yours the hacks/tips have been divided into two parts,
Those are,
- Habitual alteration
- Alterations in diet
HABITUAL ALTERATIONS:
- Take stairs: If your workplace is in upstairs and you use escalator/lift regularly use stairs instead which helps in burning calorie. This might be difficult to follow initially, in that case try taking at least two trips a day via stairs then eventually you will get habituated.
- Take periodic breaks in between: If you work in such an environment where you have to work for hours by sitting in front of screen continuously, then you have to consider taking break at least once in 45 minutes and stretch-out a bit. In that particular break try to catch couple of deep breaths and walk around or use that as water break walk to water point.
- Correct your sitting posture: I know most of us sloth while sitting on chairs (we are kind of slothers by birth). Are you aware of the fact that our sitting posture also adds up to our bad body shape? Yes, It does matter how do you sit while you work or any time, So try to correct your sitting posture and sit upright while working.
- Just find a reason to walk: As mentioned earlier walk as much as you can or just find a reason to walk. For example imagine you have to go for groceries to nearby super market instead of taking vehicle choose to walk to market.
DIET ALTERATIONS:
- Drink lots of water: We know that around 70% of our body is made up of water and it is essential. Drinking a lot of water could trigger your fat burning process, adding lime and honey to it will boast it even more.
- Keep meals short and split it if possible: we generally have the tendency to grab lots of food in our regular meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and have nothing in between them. Scientifically it’s an unhealthy practice. Then what is right practice? It’s a good practice to split your meal into chunks and munch healthy bits every now and then. (Munching means not having unhealthy snacks) by this our brain will be programmed in such a way that subconsciously it keeps a count saying ‘‘okay..!! I think body is getting food on time lets stop storing it’’ and burns extra fat stored (it’s important to mention here, that skipping meals or fasting irregularly is a bad practice).
- Try to avoid junk/processed food: In current fast moving world we tend to have processed, easy grab able and fast foods. These processed foods contribute a lot in our unfit body. So it is no good to have junk/processed food.
- Be calorie deficit if you are overweight: If you are reading this article so far means I presume that either obese or feared of becoming so. Most of our regular food will be rich in starch and it’s common to lean towards extra greasy/extra spicy food which will eventually contribute in storing fat if it is excess than limit. So make a promise to yourself to stop eating even though you are craving to eat or make a rule for yourself saying ‘‘okay, today I’ll eat, but I’ll will not touch specific food for minimum of 10 days’’
ONE BONUS TIP:
- Be consistent: Everyone knows that they want to be fit/stay fit and ways to be is also known, but no one wants to work for that. I know it’s THE most difficult part to be consistent but there is a hack, psychologists have stated that it takes only 21 days to convert anything into a habit. So what are you waiting for? Give it a shot..!!
Bottom line:
The above tips are workable but we all know that military standards are high and after selection we are expected to go through tough training. So I would advise you to go for a run every day morning at-least for half an hour.
