In today's world with busy schedules it's very difficult to take out time for morning jogs, extended runs or even the gym. I myself am a member of a few but regular at none. Each time I find some reason or the other to avoid it. It seems like I have become an expert of sorts in shirking any type of physical activity. My excuses range from 'gym being too far ' to 'hate being stuck in traffic'. But after major Diwali hogging I have finally realised that it's high time to pay attention to getting back in shape. And the best part is I found a gym inside my pocket aka my smartphone.
