The I AM She 2012 batch is hard at work here at Leonia Holistic Resort in Hyderabad, getting ready for the finale next Friday. Today’s focus is fitness, which is not only about how you look from outside, but also about how you feel within. The fitness training at I AM She not only prepares the participants for the competition, it prepares them for life.

As part of the training we took the participants out into the open lawn, where they were divided into two groups. One of the groups did a good 35 minutes of intense training focused on strength and endurance.  The first group did variations like push-ups (static and moving), lunges, squats, bur pies, mountain climbers, etc. in a circuit form. They learned to train with locomotion movement, which is inspired from different animals and their movements, while the sports training included various drills, running, sprinting, etc. After that the groups were switched, so both groups were able to experience both styles of training.
