When Popeye (Nupur Shikhare’s nickname) and I began figuring out collectively open air, every day introduced a brand new, various routine specializing in callisthenics and body weight coaching. He taught me expertise like handstands and headstands, revealing skills I did not know I had.

Overall, figuring out has develop into a significant a part of my routine, benefiting not simply my look but additionally my general well-being.
