Holi Fitness Routine
Follow along with this schedule so that you don’t miss out on all the Holi and Fitness fun.
Early Morning Exercise
Set your alarm for an early morning. Get up, freshen up, and have your early morning detox water. Start your day with your workout routine. If managing your daily workout routine seems hard to perform then you can shorten the duration of your workout.
Early Breakfast
No matter if your friends have gathered outside your house waiting to get drenched with you, skipping your breakfast will never remain an option. Get an early morning high-protein breakfast including oatmeal, paneer bhurji, besan ka chilla, omelette, upma, poha, etc. so that you crave less and enjoy your celebrations with full energy.
