biceps I promote fitness especially in
their specific fitness how many of y’all
know what this is don’t know what I’m
holding okay yeah so this is a box of
protein shake it’s probably like my 50th
60th box
I’ve been training like five years now
how many of you guys have looked at one
of these boxes and said something like
I’m never putting those artificial
powders inside my body how many of you
guys yeah I’m sure there’s a bunch you
know these are made these are made by
evaporating milk till you’re left with
milk solids and one of those milk solids
is whey protein that’s all it is so I’m
going to keep this down last year there
were 1 lakh 84 thousand deaths related
to consuming sugary drinks and there was
0 deaths related to consuming these but
people are still afraid of these for me
personally these boxes and my dumbbells
at the white home in the gym they’ve
become a symbol of all the preconceived
notions that our society has when it
comes to fitness and health these boxes
are in Hama organs weight training is
going to harm your joints and ladies for
some reason all if you all believe that
strength training is going to make you
bulky like that in truth science says
that strength training in the long term
for women especially it kind of make you
look like a Bollywood actress think
Priyanka Chopra Deepika Padukone
something like that so I surveyed 3 gyms
in my own area and what I found is that
only 20% of the total members were women
so for every single Indian girl who’s
going to a gym there’s 4 Indian guys and
keep in mind there’s a fitness
revolution happening in India guys are
we on the same page you guys agree with
me every our new gym 0 the guys are on
board but for some reason the women are
getting left behind mothers especially
so my mom when I took up training she
was super afraid of this whole process
this radical change in my lifestyle in
my diet be try putting poison into your
body your organs are going to die things
like that I heard all that for a year so
I continued my process for a year I got
a six pack along the way and at the end
of one you I knew I was healthy but
being the rebellious kid that I am I
to prove her wrong so I went to my local
medical center and I got a blood test
done
I got a full-body checkup done and the
numbers came back so the numbers were
basically saying that this guy is one
healthy dude my cholesterol was low my
burek acid levels were normal everything
was just perfect and my mum went hang on
if he’s looking like this and his
reports say that he’s healthy maybe
there’s something to it
so all that hate that she had for my
lifestyle kind of side to fade away a
little bit
so she stepped into a gym that’s my mom
and he took up weight training
she started going on a high-protein diet
initially of course it was difficult
it’s difficult for your body to get used
to a new form of exercise and a new diet
but very soon she saw all the benefits a
fat percent dropped her strength levels
shot up and the best part was that she
didn’t become a bulky bodybuilder I
still had the biggest biceps in the
house so um my point here is that my mom
was lucky enough to have a Fitness
youtuber at home telling her mama yo you
should not see those ice creams and one
more go to the gym but the bitter truth
is that a society in our society every
single Indian house needs a voice like
that and that’s become one of my lifes
emissions through my blog I’m trying to
create that voice in every single Indian
house and I have a solution so a great
man once said that if you educate a man
you enhance the life of an individual
but if you educate a woman you enhance
the life of an individual and you
enhance the life of an entire society
educated women raise educated children
and those educated children will grow up
they won’t be afraid of going to the gym
they won’t be afraid of bringing protein
shake boxes back home they’ll probably
be healthier than us my point of this
whole talk is that ladies you guys need
strength much more than the men do the
way women’s bodies are built they kind
of degenerate faster than men’s bodies
so let me like super quick let me take
okay initially till like your preteen
face till like around the time you’re 13
years old it’s roughly the same for boys
and girls you stay away from sugar you
keep your body a little bit active and
you’ll be okay but once you hit your
teenage your preteens periods women
start losing blood and tissue every
single month and along with that the
body’s faced with a lot of fatigue the
body is not recovering as fast and the
need of the moment is to refuel it’s to
replenish your body stores the two key
ingredients when it comes to refueling a
protein and ion now let’s move away from
Fitness for a minute let’s talk about
food that’s a standard Indian meal so
it’s got roti it’s got sabzi and it’s
got dal now what’s the key with Indian
household meals when you look at an
Indian meal you only see that the center
of your meal the focus the constant is
the carbohydrate it’s the roti or the
rice and then we change up the sabzi and
the dal you compare that anywhere else
in the world you’ll always see that
throughout the rest of the world the
center of the meal is their protein it’s
always a chicken breast a fillet of fish
a steak kebabs maybe and they put carbs
and salad on the side
that’s all it is a side dish but in
India we focus too much on the carbs and
contrary to popular belief dal isn’t
enough protein science says so so how do
you fix this the quick fix is that you
include some form of protein in your
diet maybe some chicken some fish if
you’re vegetarian bunny soybean protein
chicks wound out it also makes for a
great snack time option and it’s not
going to harm your body now it’s it’s
one thing talking about health and that
might not be a big concern for too many
people but let me take you all through
the other side of things diet is only
half the game played the other half is
physical activity so at the age of 13 in
the preteen phase something else happens
so girls we used to go out and play with
their footballs or the bicycles those
footballs and bicycles get replaced by
cell phones and social media people
stopped going out a lot and this is a
huge issue because
bodies aren’t built to just stay at home
in front of a screen you need to
understand that the first human stepped
on this planet about two million years
ago and for the most part for most of
those 2 million years our bodies are
used to hunting and chasing prey and
climbing on trees and jumping and
running all day it’s used to things like
that only in the last say 200 300 years
we’ve kind of become a little less
active we kind of lost that bite and
that’s causing huge issues in the modern
day so one striking thing about modern
day society modern-day Indian society is
that 18 percent of all Indian women
suffer from PCOS polycystic ovarian
syndrome you guys know what PC verses
have you heard of PCOS it’s a major
issue it can lead against snowball into
like many long-term problems you go to a
gynecologist and you ask them how can I
fix PCOS and they’ll tell you that you
need to take a take up an exercise
regime you need to start making your
body active any hormonal problem it’s
basically your body looking up at you
and saying you know you’re doing
something wrong I’m malfunctioning you
better fix this and that’s I can lead to
long term problems if you don’t fix it
early on how do you fix this as a
fitness coach let me tell you that one
way to do it is to take up an intense
exercise regime and if any of you guys
watch my youtube channel you guys would
know I’m going to talk about weight
training so of course now the one thing
you need to understand is that the way
your body is built it’s going to move
backwards unless you make it move
forwards so if you don’t put a check on
all these this degeneration this
potential PCOS and these potential
hormonal problems it’s going to lead up
to many more worse things you need to
take up some kind of an intense exercise
regime just for the sake of your
long-term health that’s what your body
is meant to do that’s something a lot of
us are forgetting but I get that you
know health is kind of a boring topic
for most people so let’s talk about more
superficial things let’s talk about just
fitness goals okay girls from the ages
of 13 till the ages of four ever have
one common fitness goal that’s fat loss
everyone wants to burn off fat am i
right so girls go out go out chase
those tie gaps that flat some of those
toned arms and in order to do so they’ll
take up cardio they’ll go for jogs and
runs and they’ll go skipping and
swimming and cycling and even Zumba but
it’s just cardio now let me tell you
what science says so science says that
if you take up cardio you’re burning of
fat and calories while you’re performing
the exercise but if you take up some
kind of an exercise regime that’s
putting a load on your muscles and
causing some kind of damage to your
muscles you’re burning of calories at
twice the rate so you’re burning of
calories while you perform the exercise
in the active burn and then because
you’re causing all those micro tears in
your muscles your body’s going to repair
those micro tears at home and it’s going
to use up calories to do that as well
that’s called the afterburn effect so
you’re burning of calories at twice the
rate that’s the superficial benefit of
weight training it’s your fastest path
to that tie gap or that flat stomach
everyone wants to burn belly fat I’m
sure 90% of the room has that same
fitness goal it’s this is how you do it
you just burn off your fat you can’t
there’s no such thing as spot reduction
now for me personally it’s great have a
six-pack it’s it’s good to have a flat
stomach that’s all okay but all these
are just superficial
the one thing I’ve figured over like
four or five years of weight training is
that the biggest benefit of it is
strength and okay let me take you
through what kind of strength I’m
talking about now the way your body is
built you need to understand that your
long-term health has a one-to-one
relation with your physical strength at
the age of 25 a man’s body is at its
peak that’s why cricketers footballers
the peak when they’re like in the
mid-20s they physically the strongest
but women’s bodies start degenerating at
the age of 25 that’s when it starts
going downhill women’s bone density
decreases the muscle mass starts leaving
them and the nervous system doesn’t fire
as fast as it used to so in the long
term once again these three factors can
snowball into something much bigger I’m
I think you switched it off okay either
way I’ll continue so it can snowball
into something much bigger and at
menopause all these effects get even
more amplified so this is something
women need to watch out for and once
again something like strength training
will increase your physical strength
your physical strength your long-term
health have a one-to-one relation you’ll
be less fragile your posture will be
fixed your bones will be much stronger
your muscles will be stronger obviously
your nervous system will fire better
you’ll be less injury prone you’ll be
less prone to hormonal problems like
PCOS everything will just be fixed
physical health long terms of physical
strength long-term health has a
one-to-one relation but your long term
happiness doesn’t boil down to just your
physical strength your long-term
happiness boys down to your mental
strength and that’s what I feel I’ve
gained out of this whole process now I
don’t can we have the slide please
yeah okay okay so my greatest idol in
the world guys my greatest Idol in the
world is Bruce Lee anyone else on the
same page so Bruce Lee had this amazing
thing to say he said that I fear not the
man who’s practiced 10,000 kicks once
but I fear the man who’s practiced one
kick 10,000 times just let that sentence
sit in your head for a minute he’s not
asking you to feel kick he’s asking you
to feel an individual it’s practice that
makes the person even on my blog I keep
talking about this concept it’s never
about your end goal it’s about who the
process is making you why why do most
CEOs all over the world stick to their
fitness regimes and their long-term
exerciser dreams
it’s because they have that constant
source of pain which also becomes a
constant source of peace let’s not just
talk about the physical benefits and all
the feel-good hormones that are released
in your head but let’s talk about how
after point it becomes a source of
meditation your training program becomes
your place of peace and in that place of
peace you have peace think about the
rest of your life a lot of business
solutions for me personally come out in
my workouts or when I’m on a run
that’s one aspect of the mental side of
things the other aspect is simple things
let me give you an example so you need
to understand that the benefits of an
exercise regime aren’t just physical and
it’s things like this now it’s easy to
go to the gym and lift weights for one
hour it’s difficult to stay away from
chocolates and ice cream for 23 hours
for me at every time I’m able to beat
that little craving of wanting to have
that five star that chocolate or that
mint ice cream I’m actually getting
mentally stronger you go to the gym for
a muscle workout you stay at home for
brain workouts the process is giving you
these brain workouts constantly it’s
creating discipline that’s what Bruce
Lee talks about he’s talking about the
discipline that the people create and
the discipline individuals are the most
superior kind of individuals in my
opinion that’s what I’ve come to learn
over time so if you want to do it for
the health side of things do it for that
if you want to do it for your fitness
side of things do it for that but for me
personally what I feel is that everyone
should do it for their own happiness
being in that place of peace in that
discipline you find happiness today my
mum’s fitter than I’ve ever seen her
before she’s stronger than I’ve ever
seen her before but I’ve never seen her
smiling as much she’s happier than I’ve
ever seen her before that’s what means
the world to me she is mentally strong
she is happy and I’ve just opened up
this magical world for her through
showing her this process something that
she doubted initially so ladies as I
said earlier my mission is to get that
voice in every single Indian house and
as I said earlier you guys hold the key
you guys can become educated mothers and
raise educated children step one is
understanding that a lot of the things
that we’ve been brought up being told
aren’t probably correct according to
science today so you need to start
educating yourself and you need to start
opening your perspectives thank you
ladies and gentleman [Applause]
