Cycling is one of the greatest forms of cardio, and very often we have childhood memories attached to it as well. It's also one of your host's favourite activities - Deepak aka Chuck can often be found on weekend mornings zipping down the highways on his beloved Velociraptor (we name our bikes ok!). In this episode, Deepak speaks to cycling coach Miten Thakkar.

You've probably seen boxing as part of a TV show or movie, but did you know it is a terrific exercise on its own (and no, you don't need to punch anyone!). Today we have with us, a champion of Indian boxing - and someone who champions boxing - Mujtaba Kamal. He is a 12-times national medalist. Currently he is a pro boxing promoter, and coaches celebrities as well. Kamal and Chuck speak about the basics of boxing, how it can help you, the life of a coach, and more. His sessions are awesome and you need no equipment to start with, and we highly recommend you give them a shot (or punch!). .....

The science is clear - adopting a more plant-based diet is not just better for our bodies, it's better for the planet. Still, it's hard to let go of some of our love for meat. This is where a new crop (pun intended!) of companies are coming to step in. Saying that we can have our steak and eat it too! One such is Blue Tribe Foods, pioneers of plant-based meat in India. On their site, you'll find pork sausages, mutton kheema, and chicken momos - all of which are made with plant-based ingredients to replicate the feel and taste of meat. Their aim is to help us move away from a meat-based diet without sacrificing the taste or health. It's a fascinating new space and we thought we should speak to them on this show to help you plan out your own diet! Your host, Deepak aka Chuck speaks to Sohil and Dr Navneet from Blue Tribe - about the company, what it does, how a plant-based diet is better for us, how they make their products and a lot more. ....

One form of fitness that has surged in popularity over the last few years - not just in India but around the world - has been yoga. And for good reason. It's not just great for the body and mobility, it's also super relaxing for the mind. It also helps you gain balance (in all senses!) and gain better breathing as well. Yoga comes in many forms and can be incorporated into any workout routine. To deconstruct this ancient form that is now trendy, we speak to Naveen Sharma, the yoga lead for Cult. We speak about what yoga is, its various types, its benefits and the various ways you can incorporate it into your routine. As should be expected for a conversation on yoga, it was super relaxing (especially for your host, Deepak!). .....

There are probably many of you who've considered veganism, or are curious about the lifestyle. While the internet has lots of info, I always think the best advice comes from someone who has been there, done that. And for this, we have a great guest today - Arthi Deiva, a biotechnologist and sports enthusiast who runs a Bengaluru-based vegan protein company, called STRIVE. The company prides itself on being a planet-friendly food brand. In this chat, Arthi and Deepak speak at length about her journey and how she made the switch. While it's her story, there are several tips here for anyone looking to either switch fully or for a few days a week. The chat involves tips around cooking, eating, mental transition, workouts, and more. .....

A wise man once said that you are what you wear (or something like that!) but a fit man once said - be comfortable in what you wear, especially when working out! Many of us don't pay attention to what we wear when working out, and it's usually an old tee that gets relegated to the task. However, having the right workout apparel is super important. For many reasons - comfort, stretchability, and just to get you in the right frame of mind! To discuss this, we have Rashi and Mohini from the CultSport team on our show. They speak about how workout apparel is different, how their team designs new products, and what the things you should keep in mind while buying workout clothes are. Along the way, we also discuss what makes CultSport products different! .....

A specialised kind of massage that aids recovery and muscle-building. Often associated with elite athletes, sports massages are useful for folks just doing regular workouts as well. In this episode, Chuck speaks to Dr Rizwan Khan, who heads Kinspire - a sports medicine clinic in Mumbai. Dr Rizwan tells us all about sports massages - how it's different from regular massages, what really happens to your muscles while you're lying there in pain, why do recovery at all... And what you can do if you don't have a sports masseur nearby. We hope you enjoy the conversation! Fun fact: Kinspire works with several sports teams and franchises. Dr Rizwan himself works with the IPL champs, Gujarat Titans. .....

Working out makes us feel better - so it's obvious there is a connection between mental and physical health. The WHO goes a step further by saying there's no health without mental health. And yes - we all need to be more aware of mental health. So in this episode, we bring in an expert - cultfit's therapy lead, Shama Shah. We speak about a lot of aspects - the physical-mental health connect, yes, but also - various kinds of mental health issues, how exercise affects your mental health, how to have better conversations with yourself, and so on.

Let's face it - food marketers can be devious. Finding new words for sugar, hyping up numbers, overplaying ingredients, and taking full advantage of the ambiguity of the word 'healthy'.  To lead a healthy life, we need to be aware of what's in the pack - not what is claimed in the front. And for this, there's no better guest than Shashank Mehta. Shashank runs a company called The Whole Truth that proudly declares all its ingredients up front, and through a lot of content tries its best to educate people on making healthier food choices.  We speak about his company, its philosophy, how we as consumers can equip ourselves to beat food marketers at their own game, common tactics food companies use, and lots more. Along the way, there are several small tips that even the most seasoned fitness enthusiast will find helpful.  Follow your guest, Shashank Mehta: On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shashankfit/ His company, The Whole Truth Foods Website: http://instagram.com/thewholetruthfoods Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewholetruthfoods/ Have feedback or ideas for the show?

Ah, vacations! Detox, destress, new sights, new people and... Maybe a few pounds. Or not, if you plan things out. In this episode, your host Deepak aka Chuck speaks to (his trainer!) Kunal Rajput aka subtle. strength.  Kunal recently went on a trip to Bali to do the usual water-based activities, but to also work out! Deepak was keen to speak to him about this and what folks can do to make sure a trip doesn't wreck their fitness journey.  Kunal has a very practical way of approaching fitness: Not working out for the sake of it, but working out to live life better! And this is reflected on his Instagram where he's equally likely to be pumping mad weights or eating a delicious-looking burger.  This is a wide-ranging conversation where we speak about the philosophy of fitness, diving stories, eating, alcohol (yes, even that!), and much much more. We hope you enjoy it!

In many of our interviews, we speak to fitness professionals such as trainers and athletes. And yes, they give us a lot of valuable tips and examples from their own lives in terms of how they keep fit. But you can make one argument: Well, that's their job! Of course, they need to keep fit! So today, we have a special interview for you. We have someone who has a demanding job, lots of side hobbies, and manages to keep incredibly fit at the same time - Ajit Bhaskar. Ajit Bhaskar is a researcher by profession, but is also an Instagram chef, runner, podcaster and has a family! In the middle of all this, he manages to weave in fitness into his day.

We'd all be a little better off (and healthier off!) if we understood how food works. How it was grown, how it was marketed, what happens to it when it's being cooked, what happens to it when it's digested, and so on.  To discuss all this - and more - Krish Ashok joins your host, Chuck aka Deepak, on the show. Ashok is a techie, musician, humorist, and more - and in 2020 wrote a book called Masala Lab, where he unravels the science of cooking in the Indian kitchen. This conversation touches upon various aspects of how to hack the kitchen, fool your brain (in a good way!), and be more mindful - all within the limits of practicality. We think you'll love this episode, especially Ashok's wonderful little lines like “cooking is just digestion outsourced”.  Check out Ashok on social media https://www.instagram.com/_masalalab/ https://twitter.com/krishashok Check out Ashok's book, Masala Lab https://penguin.co.in/book/masala-lab/ Check out Ashok's interview with Chuck on Getting Meta (where we discuss many things other than food!)
