In quest for body like Hrithik and Salman !!!


The death of 29 year old Rijo exposed the use of steroids in the fitness industry. Salman Khan and Hrithik roshan are two of the superstars of the Bollywood who fuel the muscle building dream of an average Indian guy. Anyone who goes to the Gym wants to have a body like them. Make me a xerox copy of Salman or I want to get a body like Hrithik at any cost are some of the statements which these teenagers utter.



But its not easy to replicate the bodies like Salman and Hrithik and takes months of hard-work and patience as you work over your body with suitable diet. But do we have that much patience? Few gyms and trainers recommend and supply steroids/fame supplements to make some quick money. These fake supplements are not only dangerous to the body but can also lead to death as was the case with Rijo.The transformation of the body with these steroids is fast as you can workout for more time and your body pumps, but this is only short term happiness and may lead to fatal results later on.

Make sure you go to a established gym with certified trainers as they will not indulge in these practices. If you want to take supplements, they should be the genuine ones from a branded company and not the fake supplements with steroids.

Remember, there is no shortcut to a perfect body. You need to work hard !!!

Nike+ FuelBand : Fitness Monitor on Wirst

Nike has recently launched a wrist fitness band or a fitness monitor which can track all your fitness activities over the day and record and help you analyze the outcomes over a period of time. It seems to be nice gadget which will be very useful for fitness enthusiasts who wants to track every move they make. Gadget freaks can also go ahead and have a fun time using it.


 

Nike + Fuelband uses a sports accelerometer that converts all your activities to a metric called by nike as "NikeFuel". You can set your daily goal and make sure that you burn that many calories. The indicators on the band indicates your progress over the day with Green indicating that you have met your goal. If you got an iPhone then download the app and you can easily sync wirelessly or else download the Nike-Connect for your PC.

With 100 white LED's and 20 Performance LED's its a very colorful device and comes in various sizes (S,M,L) for a decent $149.00

To be precise its a good looking device with a limited set of functionality, GPS tracking would have been great which can give you reports of your movements and may be also work as an S.o.S device. I was also looking for an Android App for the device.

Overall an good device which will surely be grabbed by fitness freaks!!!
