In this episode of The Candid Fitness, I talk about my experience recovering from a herniated disc (slipped disc) injury. I created this episode as I always wished that I knew someone who has been through a similar journey. Someone who could possibly guide me or at least give me this assurance that I will eventually recover. In spite of being on almost bed rest for about 6 weeks, I recovered completely. Now, I am able to do things that I could never imagine during those days. Check my Instagram (@abhimanyu_bhargava) to see for yourself. I sincerely hope that someone who needs to hear this, finds my story.

In this episode of The Candid Fitness, I chat with Sayandeb Banerjee who is the co-founder and CEO of The Math Company (https://themathcompany.com), one of the fastest growing AI and Machine Learning organisations in the world. True leadership also entails mastering yourself and taking control of your own life, and Sayan did exactly that few years back when he went through a personal transformation journey and lost about 40 kgs of weight.

So, in this episode we discussed his fitness journey in detail where he shares some practical tips on how to get started, lose fat and take charge of your health. It's fascinating how he connects better performance at work with a healthy lifestyle. We've derived some interesting analogies between work and fitness, so look out for them.

In this episode of The Candid fitness, I chat with Romil Barthwal, who is a legend when it comes to endurance sports. A jack of all trades and master of many, Romil has competed in several marathons, ultra marathons, cycling events and even triathlons. Some of his notable running achievements include the Boston marathon, La Ultra - a 111 km high altitude marathon from Sum to Leh via Khardungla Pass, and 185 km long 24 hrs stadium run in Delhi. He has secured the title of a super randonneur - a rare feat that one achieves after they finish 200km, 300km, 400 km and 600 km cycling brevets in a single year.

But it doesn't end there, he has even conquered the mighty Mount Everest and has led many other mountaineering expeditions. What I loved about our conversation is that it made me realise that he is a perfect example of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. Unlike a lot of athletes he started at a much later stage of his life and fell in love with running. One thing led to another and he kept competing in different events. A very inspiring journey with lots of learning, he has been generous enough to share his struggles and how he tackled the various ups and downs throughout. Immense amount of value packed in this 1 hour episode, so make sure you listen until the end.
