Gathering knowledge and ideas, collecting equipment and diet charts, rolling up the daily routine for a gym- everything goes in vain when you are too lazy to work it out. This quote is super same for all the lazy people like me. And this is what I do in the name of fitness and workout.
Every night you stand in front of the mirror, observe your body and decide to start a workout from tomorrow.
But all seems fuzzy the next morning. If you are lazy enough to go to the gym or you can’t manage your time for the daily rush. Yeah, it happens to all of us.
But I finally tied a plan, turning my hobbies and passions as a workout. Maybe you think it’s abnormal or odd, but yes, I did, and it worked for me.
I’m sharing some of my practical ideas as workout what I followed and made myself fit and light.

Many of us have a great passion for dancing or love to dance in free time. It is your time to switch it up with boring exercise and enjoy your workout time.
