I have always been into sports and other physical curricular activities however, fitness was the thing that I never cared for.

Initially, I didn’t care for my increasing weight however, it was only after when I noticed stretch marks coming on upper body parts including chest, biceps, stomach, it alarmed me. I start reading about the stretch mark on Google and where I got to know that it could be a sign of very high cholesterol levels in the body and increasing weight was making stretch marks. This can be one of the major reasons for pursuing fitness in my life. In addition, as I am passionate to do modeling and models need to be in shape, can be counted as my reason number two and the last but not the least I want to shun all those friends’ mouth who used to tease me by calling elephant or fatso. So, these were some phases in my life that have served as the turning point in my life towards fitness.
