Niraj Ruparel, Head of Mobile and Emerging Tech, GroupM India: Niraj Ruparel, Head of Mobile and Emerging Tech, GroupM India: 8/8 My daily fitness routine includes 70% focus on a balanced diet and 30% focus on workouts. It includes cardio, weights, agility and strength training. Because of the current situation, all gyms are locked down. Hence, I am focusing on certain physical activity which is not helping achieve my muscle goal but some endurance training is happening. Hula hooping is my personal favourite to stay fit during this lockdown phase. Hooping is a full-body, high-intensity, low-impact workout - it challenges your brain's motor skills as well as your muscles. Hula hoop is a pleasant alternative to otherwise mundane cardio exercises. Head over to my fitness channel "LiftnHoop", and watch almost every imaginable exercise being amplified by the hula-hoop. The first thing I have done is to realign my workout plan and routine since lack of access to gym and restricted mobility can be overwhelming. Structured bodyweight workouts, props workouts, music and hooping helps release a lot of stress and stay focussed. I use affirmations to keep myself channelised -- constantly communicating with near ones, reading up news of my interest and watching positive videos including those of workouts help keep anxiety at bay. It's very important for every person who is into this situation now to be physically and mentally strong so I try to be active at least a few hours a day so that I can really be focused on my future goals. I try to motivate myself by utilizing this time to improve my skills and knowledge. Keeping the team members and clients safe and engaged, has been crucial. And using various VC-based presentations and motivational talk sessions have come in very handy. There are corporate wellness players like CULT FIT, GALF who have MyGALF Wellness App, which employees can use for tracking and counting steps anywhere and get rewarded. Employees are able to watch curated holistic wellness curated content on their Apps.
