Actress Saiyami Kher, who has had a stint in sports too, has come on board to endorse ADIDAS Running, and she hopes she is able to encourage more women in the country to run towards fitness.

With this, Saiyami, who made her Bollywood debut with “Mirziya” last year, has joined a host of world-class athletes in representing the three stripes of adidas.

Saiyami, who has been involved with cricket and badminton in the past, said in a statement: “For me, adidas represents a passion for sport. It embodies heritage whilst constantly innovating to further the athletes out there.”

“I think it’s important to encourage women to push themselves to carve out their own paths and I look forward to doing that with adidas. My first love is sport and it’s an honour to be a part of something that will hopefully inspire other women in our country to run and embrace fitness passionately.”

Saiyami and the brand will begin the relationship with a global launch in San Francisco, US, later this week.

Sunil Gupta, Business Unit Head – Running, said: “An athlete at heart, Saiyami embodies the adidas brand in every sense. She brings authenticity and motivation to every young woman and genuinely believes that empowerment must begin with one’s self.”

“We believe that this message is the single-most important take away for the young women who look up to her and wish to kick-start their own journey to fitness and betterment through Running. 2017 is an exciting year for adidas focusing on women in sport and we have a lot in store with Saiyami – she’s a big part of things to come.”

India was bowled out for 318 runs in the opening session of Day Two of the first Test against New Zealand. The Men in Blue scored 27 runs in seven overs to get past the 300-run mark in their historic 500th Test. Resuming the day on 291, Ravindra Jadeja scored unbeaten 42 from 44 balls with seven boundaries and a six, putting on an invaluable stand of 41 runs for the final wicket with Umesh Yadav, who survived 15 balls before gloving a short ball from pacer Wagner to the wicket-keeper BJ Watling for nine runs.

For New Zealand, spinner Santner and pacer Trent Boult claimed three wickets each, while Wagner bagged a couple and Ish Sodhi and Craig got one wicket apiece. India will now look up to their spinners — Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja — to keep the home team’s unbeaten streak at Green Park intact.

Brief score at lunch:

India 318 (Vijay 65, Pujara 62, Jadeja 42(not out), Boult 3-67, Santner 3-94) against New Zealand 71/1  (Guptil 21, Latham 25(not out), Williamson 21(not out)

In our adult life, we face a number of challenges; keeping our body fit is a major one. Nothing can give pleasure in life if we do not have a healthy body to enjoy it.

Have you ever seen kids playing in the parks or colonies in the evening, they spend hours – talking, laughing, running. It all seems so meaningless or maybe there is meaning. While it is okay to spend time like this in our childhood and well into our teens, we adults think it’s a luxury we can’t afford. Especially in this age of whatsapp, facebook and twitter any free time has to be spent judiciously and thus missing the point of chilling out stress free, like those kids in the park. The stress free time the kids spend helps them keep healthy mentally as well as physically.  

Why is it so difficult to keep fit as we grow older? Simple enough question though but it’s been troubling me for years. Here’s a couple of answers I guess makes sense to me now.

·         The metabolic rate slows down as we grow older which means that body burns fat at a lower rate than it did earlier

·         Lifestyle: desk jobs and sedentary routines

What works for me and will probably work for anyone is – Allocate some time for yourself every single day. Choose an activity that you can do daily, is practical and is something that you enjoy. If you target going for swimming to a pool that is 5 kilometres away from house every day or a gym in a far-off location chance of your sticking to the routine are limited.

Choose your fitness regimen, there are a number of options to choose from:

Walking – which is the simplest and most effective fitness regimen…it does not require much investment except buying a pair of good quality shoes and can be done anywhere.

Yoga –  I’ll recommend joining a Yoga class or getting home visits from a registered Yoga practitioner so that consistency in practice is maintained as well as you don’t end up hurting yourself during asana practice.

Gym –  This one is a no-brainer.

Dance – You get to move your body and have fun galore.

Running – Even if you don’t run the marathon, you will be surprised how running increases your stamina and strength if done regularly. You wouldn’t mind the weight loss as well.

Sports – Pick up a game – any game like Badminton/basketball. The only thing is that you will need like-minded people to play with you.

The key is habit or regularity. Practice till it becomes your second nature and your day isn’t complete if you missed your daily dose of physical action.

Taking care of our bodies is one of our prime responsibilities…After all our body is the only place we have to live in.
