The Advantages of Reverse Planks

• Because your core is engaged the entire time, you will have superior abdominal strength.
• Your body weight will be supported by your arms, resulting in stronger arms.
• Your wrists are also active, keeping them mobile and free of crackling. The promise of free rotations and flexibility
• Your legs will assist your back in remaining straight, resulting in healthier calves and ankles.

How do you do reverse planks?

1. Lie on your back.
2. Raise your upper body slowly using your hands. Palms should be firmly planted on the ground, fingers directed towards the feet.
3. Raise your hips slowly. Make an effort to keep your calves, hips, back, and head in a straight line.
4. By the completion of the workout, you should have achieved an inclined position.
5. Maintain this position for at least one minute.

• Remember to tag 3 people (can be your friend/family/neighbour anyone) in your post.

Side planks may look daunting at first, but once you get the knack of it, we’re confident you’ll smash it just as you did the prior challenges.

Returning to the flaunt-worthy body, this challenge can be done with your friends and family for some fun or you could fly solo to get some time alone and break a sweat of satisfaction, but the goal is to retain this position for as long as you can, but keep in mind that only the ‘perfect technique + longest time’ will get you your hands on the exclusive Fast&Up goodies (and, of course, a shubh arambh to your workout routine)! 

How do you do this challenge? 

1. Choose your strongest side to begin with (left arm or right arm).
2. Rest your elbow on the ground and position your complete body sideways, holding your other arm straight in the air.
3. Place one leg above the other.
4. Keep your gaze focused forward and sharp, and retain this position for as long as possible.

Why are Side Planks used?

• Let us begin with the basics. It is a total-body workout. You’re leaning your entire body on an elbow, your arm is floating in the air, and one leg is on top of the other; that’s a serious workout! You are receiving a ‘bundle’! 
• Killer arms. Do you want to do some heavy lifting at home? Goals for the gym? Carry the burden of a midlife crisis? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Side planks will give you the arms to carry the most bizarre stuff on the globe.
• This will help you maintain your core strength. Side planks are a great way to get some iron hard abs for the summer!
• Have amazing legs for a beach body. The thigh burn is all going to pay off!
• With all of that searing sensation going on, you’ll also have to remember not to collapse from your posture; this will enhance your balance.

We are confident that you will accomplish this week’s Fit Bharat Friday Fitness Challenge with the same zeal and enthusiasm that you did the week before.

On the occasion of the 73rd Republic Day, The Fit Bharat organized a 73 min run where anyone from all over the world could participate and be a part of the mission to salute the soldiers and stand up for India.

Here's what Team Fit Bharat has to say about it: 

“At team Fit Bharat, we go for a hill run every Sunday. It was a casual chai pe charcha after our regular Sunday run in this awesome winter morning that we brainstormed into making this Republic Day super special. We decided to run 73 minutes since it was the 73rd Republic Day & involve our fellow Indians in this endeavor to pay a tribute to our soldiers.
We made an appeal on Sunday & within 2 days, the response was so overwhelming. We were shocked that people got in touch with various parts of the country, Kashmir, Rajkot, Hyderabad and even remote villages. They all wanted to run!

We have responses and messages from 10,768 Indians who participated. From kids as young as 6 year olds to adults as old as 91 yr old, from the remotest village to the elitist society, from schools& universities to the NCC cadets, from bankers to our soldiers, from first time runners to ace athletes & sportsmen, from the length, breadth, depth, literally every corner of our Bharat, there was one cause that unified them all : To run in the honor of our Soldiers, To pay homage to this Milestone – the day India got truly free of foreign control.

We are overwhelmed, over excited and deeply humbled by the effort put by one and all. Deeply in gratitude.”

The Mumbai Run at Mahalakshmi Race Course, Mumbai:

People in huge numbers gathered at the Race Course in Mumbai early in the morning at 5:30 AM with the sole purpose to run for free India and pay respect to our soldiers. 357 people ran at The Race Course with the Fit Bharat team and created history. Here are some glimpses of the highly successful Republic Day run:

Benefits Of Running This Republic Day

• Running, for starters, increases heart rate, which causes the production of noradrenaline, which improves cognitive performance. Second, running generates endorphins, which help with pain relief, relaxation, mood enhancement, and the eponymous “runner’s high” – which may last for hours after you stop running.
• Not all of us are able to run. Motivation, perseverance, endurance, and a “can-do” mentality are required. Feeling pleased with your accomplishments can increase your self-esteem, give you a feeling of accomplishment, and motivate you to maintain your general health.
• A high-intensity exercise can improve inventiveness for up to two hours subsequently. Instead of looking at a blank screen, get your body moving and renew both your body and mind.

Make running your best friend and take part in the Soldierthon Run!
