“The general assumption is that women working out involves cardio, not weight training. But we all work out and do heavy weights; I come across so many girls in the gym training really hard. At the end of the day, it isn’t about the gender, but about working on your body and becoming your fittest self.”

That is quite a lesson from Miss Patani. One that is relevant to our times. So it isn’t just about burning calories on that treadmill, but also about toning your muscles via weight training. Ladies, are you listening?

“My only mantra is to eat healthy and properly. The most important is to feed yourself right kind of nutrition, right rest and you must feel internally happy. What will be the point of working out if I will be sitting down and doing nothing? You have to feel internally happy and positive,”
