Siddesh Vojhala's Podcast

There comes a time when we feel that things are not working as we wished. The whole life feels like a watch, that has stopped working. Is it normal?⁣⁣

Absolutely YES!⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Welcome to life.⁣⁣

It's not the end, it's just a bend. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The road will be difficult.⁣⁣

The daily chores will be difficult. ⁣⁣

The anger will reach its peak. ⁣⁣

Self-doubt will reach its epitome. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

There will always be light, at the end of a tunnel. Keep putting in honest work, give yourself enough amount of time to grow, and believe in the process. Most importantly, believe in yourself. ⁣ ⁣⁣

Because YOU CAN!⁣

⁣

Share this with someone, whom you don't want to stop HUSTLING!⁣

⁣⁣

I'm not going to talk about the things that you already know. The first step towards 'the better you' is accepting where you are and how badly you want to change it, to reach a much better place, in terms of your health. ⁣

⁣

Do you want to get fit? You start doing the right things. You give up on thejunk food and the lifestyle that made you reach here. Why? Because you want to change. You don't want to be where you are currently. Smoking is one of those habits, that is taking you back. ⁣

⁣

On one hand, you are giving up the food habits because you want to reach your goal and on the other hand, you are supplementing the cause with smoking, which is an irony. If it's bad for you, it's bad for you. ⁣

⁣

Do you know what's more important?⁣

YOUR HEALTH!⁣

⁣

You can live more. ⁣

Do more. ⁣

Explore more. ⁣

⁣

Two ways : ⁣

=========⁣

1•) Tapering it. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.?⁣

2•) Go cold turkey. ( BANDH MATLAB BANDH )⁣

⁣

Repercussions? Of course yes. ⁣

Is it doable? Absolutely yes.

⁣During the periods, on the 1st day of your cycle, when the flow is high, you can absolutely take a day off from your training. Make sure your calories are on point. As you go through the next day, if you feel any better, you can absolutely go and train. Always listen to your body. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

But If you are someone, who has been training for a long period of time, and have a habit of training during the cycle, you can continue with that. It's very individualistic. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Your Nutrition, ⁣⁣

Your Water Intake,⁣⁣

Your Sleep,⁣⁣

should be on point. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

It's not a sprint that we are prepping for, it's a marathon. Taking a day off is not going to hamper your progress. If you feel so, consider that as your rest day. ⁣⁣

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. ⁣

⁣

Once you reach a physique, where you are way too happier, because of all the good reasons, you would absolutely want to maintain it. Why? because you earned it.⁣

⁣

You worked hard. ⁣

Endless hours of grind. ⁣

Endless 'No, I don't need to eat that' moments. ⁣

Self-control. ⁣

Being self-motivated (it's intrinsic). ⁣

⁣

Why? because you believed in your goals and turned them into a reality. In this podcast, I talk about what needs to be done once you reach your goal. ⁣

⁣

Do everything that you always wanted to. ⁣

Go for that trek. ⁣

Go for that run. ⁣

Participate in that marathon. ⁣

⁣

Life is too short to sit down, criticize, and procrastinate. Do not go back to your old eating habits. You worked hard to reach here. Maintain it. What you will put into your system, is what you get and is how you will look. ⁣

We all think of embarking on a journey. But, we fail. Again, and again. It's not because you don't want to, you want to. It's because we don't give it a priority. It's not in our Plan A. It's in our head but in Plan B. ⁣

⁣

• Make it a priority. ⁣

• Start putting in efforts in that same direction. ⁣

• Have an intent to get the work done. ⁣

⁣

Trust me, things will start to manifest. Why? because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. ⁣

⁣

Share it with someone you feel, who should prioritize.⁣

⁣

We often tend to see someone's transformation and we start doubting our own selves as to what is it, that we are missing here. We generally lose our minds and start the comparison, which in turn ruins our headspace completely. ⁣

⁣

Please don't. ⁣

Let's understand a few things. ⁣

⁣

• Not everyone starts at the same point as you. ⁣

• Not everyone has the same metabolism as you. ⁣

• Not everyone has the same lifestyle as you. ⁣

• Not everyone has the same sleep, water intake consumption, diet, and workout adherence as you. ⁣

⁣

We all are different. We all are designed differently. This is not only pertaining to fitness. It's how we are as humans, in general. The people who have made it, grinded hard for it. They need to be applauded. All the work that goes behind the scenes, is not visible to everyone. ⁣

⁣

Be you. ⁣

Do you. ⁣

Grind harder. ⁣

Work harder. ⁣

Destroy your limits. ⁣

Let's make this year more productive by complaining less, comparing less, and doing more. ⁣

⁣

During the time when you are putting on pounds, the skin expands itself to make room for the muscles and fats to accommodate in. Now what happens is, indulging in excessive cardiovascular activity, burns the muscles beneath the skin and makes the skin sag. ⁣

⁣

There are two main components of the skin.

Namely: Collagen and Elastin. These two are responsible for the elasticity of the skin. ⁣

⁣

Collagen and elastin fibers fail to retract back because of the lost elasticity, resulting in the skin being loose. ⁣

⁣

Execution:⁣

=========⁣

⁣

• What has happened has happened. Don't stress. Take action.⁣

• If you are a smoker, give it up immediately. Because smoking causes more damage to the skin fibers responsible for elasticity. ⁣

• Weight training is your friend for life.⁣

• Focus on compound lifts (SQUATS, DEADLIFTS, CHEST PRESS, and OVERHEAD PRESS) and divide your macronutrients properly. ⁣

• The goal should be to gain mass and strength. ⁣

• Be patient. Allow the skin to retract on its own.⁣

Dear women, ⁣

⁣

It's absolutely okay to do ZUMBA if you want to. If that is what gives you an elixir to adhere to exercise, then go ahead. It's still better than not doing anything at all. ⁣

⁣

It will burn a truckload of calories. ⁣

It will keep you happy. ⁣

It will allow you to spend some time dancing to your favorite numbers.⁣

⁣

The only thing that I want you to do along with it, is resistance training (?????? ????????). The idea is just not to drop the numbers on the scale. The idea is to retain the muscles within. In this video, I speak about a case that I encountered and what are the ways to work around it. ⁣

⁣

Share this video with your close ones who only do Zumba and ask them to do resistance training too.

It feels very lucrative to drop the numbers on the scale, by eating less food and dropping the carbohydrates completely out of the diet. Please don't do this. In the long run, it causes more harm than good. Your food relationship goes for a toss, which takes a toll on your mental health.⁣

⁣

In the video, I discuss a case that I encountered, which will give you an insight into the things which one should not indulge into. ⁣

⁣

Your diet should be sustainable. You didn't gain weight overnight, it happened over time. Give yourself enough amount of time. Accept the situation that you are into, and work on it. Stop looking for instant results. It's a human body that you are dealing with, not a machine. Educate yourself.⁣

⁣

Share this with someone that you feel might benefit from this video.⁣

⁣

We all have our own set of goals. Our goals are very individualistic. We all want to achieve something in life. We all hear a different drummer. May it be losing weight or going to see a place, we all have those goals in our heads. ⁣

⁣

In this video, I speak about how important it is to focus more on the process, to reach your goal. ⁣

⁣

The daily hustle, the actual work, the execution, the daily grind, is the actual PROCESS! This is how you reach your goal, like a boss. ⁣

⁣

Share it with your close ones, if you feel that they need to know this. 

Go smash it.⁣
