IT’s All About LOOP!!!

Hey guys!Welcome to my first blog ever. I was nervous af but here we are… As Picasso rightly said, action is the foundational key to all success, I finally sat down to post this.

Now, it may appear weird to a man of common conscience to combine the ideas of loops and fitness but seeing as I am not that person, I say, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LOOPS!

How am I gonna succeed in proving such a weird theory, you may ask! So here’s my plan-

· FIRST, explaining about the “LOOPs”

· Then discussing negative and positive loops and finally,

· The big cheese- how to switch from negative to positive LOOP( we might be talking more about this in future)

So, WHAT EXACTLY IS A “LOOP”?

By loop, I mean Collection of activities which impact your moral and, hence, impacts other activities.

So, loops sound helpful, right?

But I am not merely gonna give you a set of activities to follow. It’s pretty obvious to all of us what we ought to do (and what we ACTUALLY end up doing)

Instead, what I am gonna do, is make you realize you can have many loops in between your body organs. Sounds a little dark? But do read on.

Before anything else, we must understand that there ain’t a bunch of random loops, you can actually categorize them like this-

First, let’s discuss NEGATIVE LOOPS OR ILLNESS LOOPS

A negative loop is formed in two ways-any negative emotion which acts as a hitch in forming a healthy lifestyle; and any problem and challenges in your current lifestyle which further act as an obstacle

So, all in all, negative loops sound like something that we should not fall into and I am gonna tell you how to save yourselves from them… but only later in this very post.

And now comes the POSITIVE LOOP!

Now, you may be wondering, it would just be the opposite of negative loops, duh! But hold your horses' buddy. But here is the astonishing detail- you don’t need to perform a muster of activities to break your negative loop AND form a positive one. A single activity can help you master both!

But don’t come to your own conclusions!

Am I saying that you can avoid eating healthy and attain fitness by merely working out? NO!

And neither am I supporting a strict diet plan without a workout routine.

I am talking about the workout routine- how one exercise can help you fill the void left by another.

Now, let’s imagine a scenario where you are overweight and your muscles are so weak that you can’t perform even a single push-up, whereas your friends spend hours doing push-ups, pull-ups and every other muscle-building activity that you can only dream of. You try doing 5–10 pushups at the beginner level, but alas! you always fail.

What I suggest is that, instead of trying to force yourself to do a bunch of pull-ups, you can do one, each day, after which you can try a broad spectrum of other beginner’s level workouts and try to attain expertise in them. This will get you moving from a negative to a positive loop of fitness.

However, it is merely a theoretical solution, the practical and more accurate solution depends on your weight, your BMI, the amount of time you spend working out as well as your diet which is a highly important factor. So let’s leave a practical solution for a future post. For now, let’s delve deeper into the theory.

Theory aside, HOW CAN WE BREAK THE NEGATIVE LOOPS?

Let us look at the process of breaking negative loops, one step at a time.

#1 CHANGING EATING HABITS

PRIME STEP!

Throw away all the cheap processed food.

Yes, you heard it right! Psychology says that when you do so, the next time you are about to buy the same, your mind will trigger a warning and lo! You are no longer obsessed with unhealthy food!

#2 FEELING DEMOTIVATIVE DURING WORKOUT

Feeling demotivated? Here comes the element of accountability. I realized that staying accountable to my health and fitness has brought on a lot of good results, including the will to exercise more often.

Here’s the advice: Whenever you work out, be it for 10 mins or 60, write down all that you have accomplished in the given time. Continue this for the next 2–3 weeks and you are sure to notice beautiful results. Don’t believe me? Try it yourself.

DETAILED AND PRACTICAL SOLUTION!

Remember when I said I am gonna present you with a detailed solution at the end? Well, here you go!

Before moving on, let me tell you how glad I am that you guys made it till here.

For the next step, which is the accurate AND personalized solution, I am gonna need your support...

So, before anything else, go through the table given below and comment on what level are you currently on. Make sure to comment below. I am gonna come out with another post in a week or so.

How to comment on your current level?

Please use the following format whilst commenting:

-category (1–6) <space> Level(A-D)

extra information-

For example, you may comment

//NOTES

2-A (refers to pullup: NONE)

3-D (refers to sleep cycle: Adequate but imperfect timing)

4-C (refers to diet: missing in macro and micronutrients)

5-B (refers to time:10 min)
