Let’s just agree, we all want a physique that is good enough to post on Instagram. It is a common saying that the summer body is built in winter, but most of us wake up on the last day of winter, in panic, and the need to build that perfectly toned body.
Are you a beginner? Parag Primlani, founder of ParaFit, says that even if you are, you should stop thinking like one. “I see so many people struggling in the gym doing absolutely nothing, thinking that they’ve just begun and that an unplanned workout would do any good to them. Even if you’re a beginner, your workouts should be planned professionally. Of course, you can go easy on the intensity to begin with, but your workout should be a perfect mix of cardio, core workouts, HIIT/functional workouts, and strength training. Hitting a separate body part every day is pivotal.”

WORKOUT TREND FOR THE SUMMER
Primlani thinks H.I.I.T is the workout trend of 2021. He says, “High-intensity interval training is a training protocol where you have hard bouts of work, interspersed with periods of recovery. So, you do four power pact exercises back-to-back for 30 seconds, each followed by a 1-minute test, and you repeat this five times. HIIT is a bummer for fat loss, can be done anywhere without any type of equipment and you only need 15 minutes for it. So, definitely, HIIT is changing the game this summer.”
