Let's check what Priyanka gave up for a hot bod:
- Pizzas (Earlier, she would wake up to the smell of pizzas)
- Rice (Her meal was incomplete without rice)
- Potatoes (She thrived on them)
- Chiken frankie (This was her evening snack)
- Chinese food (She couldn't sleep without having Chicken Fried Rice and Chilly Chicken)
- Egg yolk (She gifts herself only white egg now)
Value for money or not?
We asked fitness expert Leena Mogre whether this was really value for money. She says, "Going to the gym is not only about losing weight, but to stay fit. It should be part of your lifestyle. You brush your teeth and take a shower every day. Similarly, you must go to the gym every day."
We ask whether it is worth spending so much money at a gym. Mogre interrupts, "It is not spending, it is an investment you make for your health, to give you better returns tomorrow."
The story is not over yet!
It has been a year and three months since Priyanka has been working out. Over the last three months, she has gained the 3 kg she lost.
"My work pressure has increased because of which my workout schedules have been very irregular," says Priyanka.
That works out to Rs 15,000 spent over the last three months. And she has 3 kilogrammes added to show for it!
Priyanka now thinks there are smarter ways to save money:
i. Join a gym close to home or work
ii. Avoid extra costs, like frequent massages
iii. You don't need a personal trainer through the year.
