A nation – is not what it is without the struggles, hustle, and goodwill of the citizens. Being from India, there is one thing that makes us proud – our hustle to get back what was rightfully ours; our nation. India is a democratic, secular, and socio-developing country and is one of the ‘golden reserves’ of the world. But during the British reign – the country was exploited till its core. The struggle for Freedom of India was one of the most prominent freedom struggles of all time. This month on the 15th of August, we celebrate the 76th year of India’s independence. Keeping the struggles of our freedom fighters in mind, let’s dedicate this month to our soldiers who fight daily for the safety and prosperity of the nation. Follow this fitness regime to train yourself like a soldier! 

Running

If you do want to go into the Army and train like a soldier – you have to run and that too run all the time. Consider running at the only parameter that you’ll be selected in the force. A soldier is never at rest – mobility is the prime source of fitness that they have with them.

It is one of the only exercises which makes use of many muscles at the same time; also known as a compound exercise. A soldier runs or jogs somewhere between 15-20 km per day when he/she is training for the Army. Running has so many benefits associated with it – be it stronger bones, better heartbeat, or strengthened muscles.
