Stuck in Long Jams- Relax not Fret
Bust That Stress

We start with stress busting because we know that the stress of being stuck is too much to allow you concentrate on anything else.

Inhale as large as you can to ensure maximum chest and diaphragm expansion. Inhale and exhale such that you can feel your stomach muscles moving.

Repeat the procedure about 10 times.

This entire exercise will put your tummy muscles at work thus, not just toning them but also helping in better metabolism. The constant inhale-exhale will strengthen your lungs too and of course, the additional oxygen will boost your mood.

Tone Those Abs

When you are seated behind the wheel, or even in the backseat, try getting the left shoulder as close as possible to the right foot and the right shoulder to the left foot. If you face difficulty in this, do not over stretch. Start with first touching the tip of the fingers to the opposite foot and then gradually increase the stretch over time to finally come to bending your shoulder.

Start with 2 sets of 10 and then increase with time.

Build those Biceps

Put your hands on the steering wheel such that they are at 180 degree to each other and 90 degree to your body- basically, you have to sit straight. Alternatively, if you are sitting in the back seat, place your hands on the seat in front.

Now, while maintaining the same position, try pushing both the hands towards each other to work the chest. Hold in this position for as long as you can. Try doing 2 sets of 20 to begin with.

Tone up your Neck

The simplest of all, all that needs to be done is, turn your neck to a side, apply pressure with your palm onto your forehead and resist this pressure with your neck. Repeat it for the other side.

Do 2 sets of 10 each for starters and you may then gradually increase on the numbers.

Strengthen the calf

For those who either travel by public transport or have to wait for cabs. We know how difficult it can be to get the seats. Well, utilise this by moving your legs up and down from the knee and below.

This would not just reduce the fatigue on the leg by facilitating faster blood flow but there is also a probability that the people around you will give you some space to stand (tongue in cheek).

We hope that you will follow this regime and will be able to make up for your lost fitness time.

To know more such stuff, keep waiting and we shall be back with a blog soon!

WARNING: Exercise has been known to cause “Good Health and Happiness”
RADIANT SKIN

When you get your heart really pumping, the blood vessels that lie close to the skin surface dilate and the living layers of your skin receive a nice delivery of oxygenated blood and nutrients. This gives the skin a healthy, vibrant appearance and that glow is maintained for hours after a workout.

ACNE RELIEF

Regular exercise boosts circulation. Blood and oxygen flowing through the skin help draw toxins out of the body, including toxins that clog pores. Also sweating helps propel those toxins, oils and dirt out of your pores.
Working out corrects the hormonal imbalance that can cause adult acne as exercise produces endorphins and helps reduce your stress levels. Stress reduction and endorphins help decrease cortisol and other acne-provoking hormones.

LESS WRINKLES

Did you know that too much stress related hormone cortisol will increase collagen breakdown? This can increase wrinkles and sagging. Working out also helps maintain healthy levels of cortisol and support the production of collagen, that helps to keep your skin firm, supple, and elastic.

HEALTHY HAIR

The improved blood flow helps keep your hair stronger and healthier. This blood, full of nutrients, stimulates the hair follicles and promotes growth. Exercise is also a big stress reliever. Lower stress means your hair is less likely to be brittle and, worse, fall out.

TONE THE MUSCLES

When our bodies are toned our skin takes on a more toned appearance and we have the healthier and more youthful look.

SKIN REPAIR

Exercise also helps you rest and sleep better. Your body and skin need repair time and does it best when you’re sleeping well. Research has also suggested that regular physical activity can help your skin repair itself faster.

Apart from knowing about the positive effects that exercise can have on your skin there are a few cautions to consider
- If you are exercising outdoors remember to protect your skin from the damaging sunrays by applying your sunscreen before you get started.
- Keep your exposed skin as covered as possible; avoid working out during peak sun times, which is usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
- Tight fitting exercise clothing coupled with sweating can lead to skin irritations. Avoid clothing that is too tight and apply a moisturizer or powder to the areas that are most prone to irritation.
- If swimming is your exercise of choice, be sure to rinse off as soon as possible. Chlorinated pools and salt water can both be dehydrating to the skin and the hair.
- After exercise shower as soon as possible. Make sure that you’re cleansing your face and other areas that generally breakout .
- Avoid exercising with makeup on your face.
You may not always love the workout, but you will definitely love the results. Exercise is stress management, better sleep and healthy body. And these all add up to a more radiant and gorgeous you.So take care of your body, it is the only place you have to live in.

Post workout hair and skin care
Skin care

Let us begin with skin care. You must totally avoid wiping sweat with your hands as dirt transferred can lead to acne or boils. It is good to carry a clean napkin or wet wipes instead. A mild face wipe is best as it keeps the skin supple. Sweat is excellent for skin as it helps get rid of toxins that clog skin pores and result in blemishes. Real cleansing is the answer to remove toxins from the skin surface. Facial wipes eliminate some of the oil and grime but cold water and cleanser are the best, as they also help in calming the flush.

It is advised to wash your face with a mild face wash and shower with normal to cold water as warm or hot water tends to take away the natural oils from our body leaving the skin itchy and dry. Scrub should never be used after working out and you must apply a liberal quantity of face as well as body moisturizer. It is possible that you will develop face and back acne, boils, friction burns or even fungal infections if you don’t take a shower just after an exercise session or don’t change your gym gear.

All makeup must be removed before you start your work out session. Make up can clog skin pores which can again lead to acne. It is a good idea to clean your face before gym even when you are not wearing any makeup. Apply sunscreen with proper UVA and UVB protection when exercising outdoors.

Hair care

You don’t have to wash your hair every day after a workout. This is a very common mistake many of us make, as exercising tends to build up sweat making the scalp feel grimy. Nevertheless shampoo should only be used two to three times in a week as too much washing can rob our scalp of its natural oils. Dry shampoo is an option if your hair feels very greasy and dirty but they are not a substitute for regular shampoo.

A deep moisturizing conditioner should be used to safeguard hair from the damage of excessive shampooing. You can use one with sunscreen as it protects your mane from the harsh UV sun rays, especially when training outdoors.

Hair tied back will make that big difference between cool waves or a frizzy mess. It is even better if you can cover your hair with a sweat resistant bandana or a scarf. It helps shield our hair from any workout trauma, while absorbing the frizz creating sweat. Hair should be tied loosely at the back as very tight ponytails can result in traction alopecia, which gives the impression of retreating hairline.
