Recovery Fitness

Image
The fitness industry has always focused on serious workouts, breaking barriers, and achieving personal goals. But as we have learned more about the human body, our focus has shifted to what happens after exercising. Recovery fitness is the newest addition to the post workout arsenal that needs to be emphasized. It completely shifts the objective of exercise into further healing and nurturing of the body during and post recovery. This does not mean it has developed overnight. For a long time, recovery was largely considered passive and left to a person’s rest period. As professional athletes and sports scientists began to promote the idea of active recovery, the general fitness community adopted this notion. What was an elite practice soon became ubiquitous to fitness regimes offered in fitness studios, wellness resorts, and basic personal training sessions.  Recovery fitness focuses on restoring one’s body after a workout, minimizing soreness, averting injuries, and setting up for ...

Decluttering Your Mind and Space

Image
  As the New Year comes, it contains a quiet promise of opportunity - to start afresh and pursue a life that is more approachable and defined. However, while transformation can be a goal, oftentimes it can be blocked by the weight of unnecessary clutter, be it physical or mental.

From around the start of the month, advertisements make a foray into the digital space displaying couples celebrating with chocolates, flowers and an array of jewellery. But what about the love we need the most? And that is loving yourself. Self-love is a cause and an occasion in and of itself, so this February, why don’t we turn Saint Valentine’s ideology of love into a month filled with self-love opportunities? Perhaps Valentine’s Day is the best holiday to consider oneself and “me” instead of “we”. In a society that glorifies love, the idea of being 'single' can feel disheartening. Whenever Valentine’s Day approached, it often triggered a sense of loneliness within me. Over time, I began to realise that the most meaningful relationship I could nurture was with myself—a bond rooted in self-love. Every relationship, including those with partners, begins with self-love. It’s not just a cl...
