60 secs with Bhavna
Current fitness goal

I am 47 years old and I want to feel and look young and energetic and inspire others to do so without resorting to dangerous shortcuts.

My cheat day looks like

I eat chocolate daily. That’s my DAILY cheat. Else, I am a teetotaller, non smoker, don’t eat fried, maida, bread, cheese etc. My lifestyle is healthy, basic and sustainable.

Favourite Character

None. I have only idolised my grandmother for being an immensely strong and independent woman. No fictional character impresses me.

Trend I’d like to see dissapear

People resorting to shortcuts like taking Ozempic, Metformin and Diuretics to lose weight/ inches.

Your fitness+wellness journey

We don’t need to try and climb a mountain in one single day. Consistency and moderation are key to a lifetime of good health and well-being. I aim for health and wellness, not wealth and hell-ness.

Superpower you wish you had

I wish that people were not judgemental towards others. Everything is not about looking cool. If you wish to meditate, walk on the streets to burn extra calories, favour a gym workout over a hair appointment when you are struggling for time to fit in workouts, that’s fine. You don’t need to look like a model every time you go out. Prioritise your physical and mental health as opposed to trying to impress others with false vanity and glamour.

Biggest Learning

We don’t need to try and climb a mountain in one single day. Consistency and moderation are key to a lifetime of good health and well-being. I aim for health and wellness, not wealth and hell-ness.
