Beginners beware of wrong instructions


I was very thin and lean when I was first introduced into working out.I had no idea and had never heard that I could change the way I look by working out. I had never even seen a gym till I was 22. Then started the nonstop suggestions and expert advice from instructors,fitness freaks and hefty guys around.I must admit that I was gullible. But I'm glad and happy that my learnings are more profound because I made those mistakes and found my way out of it. So let me share some of those worst suggestions you will see coming your way, if you are a lean person trying to put on some weight.

Please stay away from these suggestions
  • Drink beer. Lots of it:)
  • Eat lot of sweets and confectionaries.
  • Eat lots of white rice and refined flour.
  • Eat lot of red meat and cheese.
I'm sure you all know what these tips did to me. At 6 ft 1 inch height, it took some time for these tips to put unhealthy mass around and I realized that was not what I had in mind.Since my workouts were also wrong ( which i would share with you in my next blog). These made my face chubby and I did get broader and huge but was definitely not feeling healthy and looking nice.I soon started reading and looking out for a true health and fitness person who could give me the correct tips. Else, I was determined to continue working out and finding out the correct techniques my self. I'm glad I did that because that is helping me today in giving the correct tips to my friends and the ones who seek them. In the next blog, I would share the wrong workouts.

Dare to dream

Through this blog, I will be sharing tried and tested methods of staying in shape, building muscle, losing fat, toning up, getting ripped etc. The best thing about this, would be that I would be sharing what I went through. Not something an accomplished bodybuilder, fitness model or a celebrity did. Since these were tried and tested by me, on me, one can be confident about how it would be just perfect for a common person like you and me, for whom staying in shape is not the only activity to do. Just like you all, even I have a job that takes a lot of my time, long working hours, odd working hours, hectic schedules, living alone, which means even more difficult to get the right food, rest and other favorable conditions.

Its going to be back to basics and keeping things simple. I have always found and believed that the best of the solutions are in the simplest methods. Sticking to basics does not mean staying rigid. Being imaginative and thinking out of the box is great. That will bring you richer results. You would get to see a perfect combination of both here at Optimicician Health.

If you all are ready to go on a journey and achieve your health and fitness goal, then here are some rules -

Dare to dream. Dare to realize your dream.
Anything is possible to those who believe.
