In 2024, shift your focus from weight loss to better fitness levels

Live Mint  

We are firmly in the 21st century when AI is a reality, hoverboards exist and video calls are basic. Fitness experts, coaches and nutritionists are unanimous in identifying weight loss as the most popular goal worldwide, especially for those who are either coming to the gym for the first time. Societal conditioning, peer pressure, and unrealistic representation of the body ideal in popular media have contributed to the idea that weight is the key to fitness, health, happiness, beauty, good looks and confidence. While many fitness experts and nutritionists suggest checking one’s body composition to figure out details such as body fat, fate free mass, water and muscle percentage, even doing so has its limitations. People seeking weight loss for aesthetic reasons need guidance from health and fitness experts, especially since they would need to focus on their primary health markers to track their progress.
