How do you stay motivated to work out regularly?

1st is obviously to enjoy my cheat meal. And second thing that motivates me is my guilt of not doing the workout. So, whenever I skip my workout, I feel lazy, I don't enjoy food, and even don't get good sleep. 

What is your favorite healthy snack or meal?

My favorite snack is rajma and rice. Rajma is delicious and has protein, calcium, and a lot of other vitamins and minerals.

What is the most challenging fitness goal you've achieved so far?

Handstand without support. I used to do a lot of practice with the wall support and after so much of trials and struggle I achieved this goal.

What is your favorite form of cardio exercise?

Swimming 

Do you prefer working out alone or with a partner?

To be honest. I love working out alone because I can do whatever I want and I can change the exercises in between. 

What is your top tip for fitting exercise into a busy schedule?

See, there should not be a fixed time to do the workout. We should start doing bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, jumping jacks, body weight, and stretching whenever we get time.

How do you overcome workout plateaus and keep making progress?

There is a simple solution to break plateaus which is a change in workout style, intensity, and the amount of food you are taking. It depends on individual goals. I usually keep on switching different kinds of physical activities, sometimes I book sessions for swimming, badminton, HIIT, etc. 

What is your favorite way to recover and relax after a tough workout?

Stretching and a shower. It helps in better recovery and I feel more energetic the whole day.
