The simple steps that I follow for staying active.



“I am joining the Saffolalife #ChhoteKadam initiative in association with BlogAdda and follow these small steps for a healthy heart.”
 
Now a days we all have become so lazy and if we choose to find out the reasons behind our laziness, then we would surely have a plenty of them. According to me, the gadgets are the ones that have made us all very lazy and it ultimately affects our health. For instance, we kick start our geared gadget termed as a bike or a car to go for gym. So even if we are doing some activity in gym, driving these gadgets is not a right thing to follow. I see many youth following this method and it really is a matter of concern since we need to put forward our #ChhoteKadam not only from the environmental perspective but also from our heart's health perspective as well. 

On the occasion of World Heart day, which is observed on 29 September of every year for raising awareness about the cardiovascular disease (CVD), I want to share the #ChhoteKadam that I follow every day. The very first thing that I follow during the start of the day is to get up early in the morning. Well at first I used to get up early in the morning :-) by 8 am. But now I am used to get up a little bit more early i.e. by 7 am and at times I wake up even before the alarm rings; which is always set at 6.30 am. So it is just one day that you have to push yourself to wake up early. Once you do it, the next day you will automatically wake up on the pre-set alarm timing. 

The next thing I do is to do a gym workout which includes 120 dips. Yes not in one go but I do it in 4 sets of 30 with the combination of 120 dumbbell exercises (yes this one's also in the 4 sets of 30 each). Most of the times, I try to go to the gym and do this exercise but at times it rains so heavily that I have to do all this in my room itself. So here is one important point to note that you have to make up your mind to perform your daily exercise routine whatever conditions come in your way. I have been practicing this for the last 6 months and I am getting praise from my friends for being fit at all times. It is important to train your mind to perform the morning exercise since every #ChhoteKadam counts. So I believe that these small steps are helping me to keep my heart healthy and all I have to do is to perform above mentioned exercise for staying active at all the times.
