Ms. Namita Nayyar:
WOMEN FITNESS INDIA is a leading name when it comes to the best in health and fitness for women. We have been serving clients for the last 22 years. Becoming the cover girl of Women Fitness India we would like to know your fitness regime or workout routine, especially while traveling?
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
I workout 6 days a week. Started this routine right when the lockdown started as I was really lacking in any fitness routine before that for some time. I do cardio and bodyweight strength training. While traveling, I don’t usually get time to work out but I try and stay active and eat as healthy as I can.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How important do you think is it for women to be fit in today’s world?
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
Highly important and also for the right reasons. Looking good and fitting into a small size of jeans was a goal of mine too earlier but now it’s more about taking that one hour out just for me and my mental and physical sanity and giving my body the love it needs.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit? Share smart tips you have followed to maintain your diet when living alone and with strict work schedules?
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
I don’t have a strict diet. Always loved home-cooked food and I would prefer to eat at home on any given day. I have had this way of eating since I was a teen in school and I think that’s why the effect still shows in my skin and hair as well.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a typical day in your life as a content creator
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
The day would begin with answering tons of emails and messages from people who work with me, leading up to either shooting a video for my YouTube or Instagram OR ideating content and my other projects.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You achieved a huge fan following at a young age through YouTube, what inspires you to make videos and how do you brainstorm about the topics?
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
There is a lot that inspires me. I try to deliver videos that are better than my previous ones. I am usually inspired from the journeys and content of my idols and people I look upto in the content space.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You recently took a break from YouTube, to feel good about your mental health, do share your opinion about tips to mental wellbeing and coping with social pressure
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
it is extremely important to look after your mental health. Especially, when the entire world is facing a crisis. Work should come first but it should not come before your health. Meditate, exercise and always speak your heart. Understanding how you are feeling is the primary step in coping with your issues. Avoid what others have to say, focus on what your mind is telling you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Every person goes through moments of ups and downs, was there ever a time you thought of giving up this career or thought that it was not going as planned?
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
Of course! I have thought that things are not going right SO many times. I have always been a perpetual overthinker and too ambitious for a very long time. Only recently I have given more time to my mental health and made myself understand that patience and focusing on my craft is the key. The rest is out of my control and that something or the other always works out.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are a big source of inspiration to the youngsters in our country, give us 3 tips to grow a YouTube channel.
Ms. Sejal Kumar:
My 3 tips would be:
- -Learn about making videos, videography, scriptwriting, video treatment, and KEEP learning, each and every day you do this
- -Don’t worry about numbers too much, they will come with consistency
- -Don’t let anybody put you down!
Ms.Namita Nayyar:
Women Fitness India works with a goal to reach out to women all over the world providing them with the best in health, fitness, nutrition, beauty & fashion. What do you wish to say about the magazine and website?
