The idea of fitness is fast evolving into a more holistic concept that encompasses all aspects of training and mental attitude.
WELLNESS IS all-encompassing. I’ve always believed that if you’re well, you will be fit... but if you’re fit, you may not necessarily be ‘well.’ It’s a juxtaposition and one that makes you sit back and question where you are on the scale, or what you’re actually working towards.
I also believe everybody doesn’t relate to fitness the same way. The problem inevitably is that we tend to look for solutions to tackle all our health-related problems only in the physical realm. As a part of this series for SportS Illustrated IndIa, I’m going to resist the temptation to deviate from this for now and, rather, elaborate on the fitness trends that are taking the world by storm.
I’m going to be talking about trends and not fads— the latter are short-term phenomena that are the flavour of the month, while trends are things that gain momentum slowly, are sustainable and can potentially add incremental value to an existing system or thought process. This is all the more relevant in the sphere of sports and nutrition science, something that I have tried to highlight through my longstanding association with Herbalife.
