Gone are the days when the women popularly known as the ‘home-makers’ preferred to remain confined in the four walls. The state capital of Jharkhand is witnessing a change – a positive change for a better tomorrow. Women here have become health conscious and the growing number of gyms in each locality of the city speaks volume about the increasing awareness regarding health among them.
Ms Neetu Singh may be having grown up children pursuing their studies at high-school level but she prefers to take time off from her busy schedule to sweat at the ‘state of art’ gym that has come up in her locality. “The phase of running after children and preparing meal for them is over. I have realized that if your bones are in order you are living a far better and healthy life. For this, I thought of spending sometime in the gym and sweat out the extra calories that comes up automatically with age,” she explained while buttressing the age old adage ‘health is wealth’.
Neetu is a working woman and is not alone in this endeavour, her friend Nisha, Sweta and Sweety too are following suit. They strongly held that sweating during exercise has helped them to shun extra adipose and that losing weight with little bit of discipline in food habits keep them active and energetic.
“You are a confident person eventually when you realize that you have lost weight and become slim. It’s not necessary that fitness is the domain of only the models and actresses but it should be imbibed by all for their own betterment,” said Nisha.
The women of the contemporary times love to be pampered and want to look attractive, feel the trainers of the health spas. “There is nothing wrong in looking good. If a little bit of methodical work out can enhance your personality and keeps you physically and mentally strong, you should certainly go for it,” said Sajid, one of the trainers of the gymnasium.
Interestingly women spa or gymnasiums are mostly owned by women. This also helps in marketing the concept and necessity of exercising among the women-folk, as they feel secured and safe in treading such places. “Work-outs helps you de-stress and get rid of metabolic waste that ultimately cleanse your system,” said the dietician and owner of the gym.
Substantiating the point further she said that the changes in the life-pattern of women are no more seen as a taboo. Even the husbands and other family members are supporting them in their venture of keeping themselves healthy and hearty.
