Speaking about the technicalities of being fit, the celebrity trainer said the butt and abdomen portion are affected the most. These two areas are also the key to fitness and to shape the body. While there is a common trend of dieting and fasting to remain in shape, yoga can relive people from such tedious process.

Gidwani explained, daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, squat to lift something or bending over to pick something can help to people to be on shape. Per Gidwani, healthy diet and nutrition is more important than dieting or fasting altogether. Speaking about specific ‘asanas’, Gidwani mentioned Utkatasana, Tadasana and Shalabhasana as particularly helpful.
