Manisha Mahajan From Nashik City Police Takes The Next Step To Good Health!

Manisha Mahajan

During this entire COVID-19 pandemic, one cannot deny the role that our frontline heroes – the police force have played by tirelessly working to ensure that lockdown rules were followed and providing assistance wherever required. While our unsung heroes do their best to protect us from the pandemic, who is protecting them? Good effort in the service of others rarely goes unrewarded. Let’s look at the story of one of our heroes, Manisha Mahajan from the Nashik Police Force. 

Manisha Mahajan has been working with the Nashik Police Force since 2014. Currently, she has been assigned the task of handling the GOQii dashboard for the Nashik police Force. Her task includes monitoring whether the personnel who have been handed the trackers are syncing on a daily basis, sending out reminders if they are not doing it, flagging off if there is a temperature increase alert and contacting the relevant policeman to stay off duty and observe if he experiences any other COVID-19 symptoms. She also constantly motivates everyone around to record as many steps in a day as possible. 

Changes After GOQii 

While getting inducted into the Police Force, they were required to undergo a 9 month training period which involved a lot of walking, running and other physical activities. However, once she got a posting, all activities stopped due to working in shifts and frequent changes in schedule.

When the tracker was handed out to them by their Commissioner, Shri Vishwas Nangare Patil, at first she wasn’t too keen on using it. However, after a few days, she too got motivated looking at the others actively engaging with the coach and recording a huge number of steps. 

Once on the platform, her GOQii Coach helped her with a proper schedule for workouts, meal timings and sleep. She now wakes up early and spends an hour walking, running, and doing bodyweight exercises. She does not skip breakfast, includes at least one fruit every day and has lemon-ginger-turmeric concoction upon waking up. She has also begun including more protein sources in her meals like fish, chicken and eggs. Her rice consumption has been significantly reduced as well.  

She tries to walk as much as possible even during her shift and clocks in almost 35k steps on an average, daily. She also performs yoga and meditation a few times during the week. She says that it keeps her fresh and energetic throughout the day and her sleep quality has also improved as compared to before. Since the past 2 months, she has reduced 4kg in weight.  

She says the data that she sees on the dashboard and the tracker are great motivators. It is not just her, but her colleagues as well who constantly try to keep increasing their daily step count. 

What Does Manisha Mahajan Think About GOQii? 

Manisha Mahajan says that GOQii has brought about a lot of positivity in her life. She feels good about herself. In fact, looking at her enthusiasm, even her mother has started taking interest in walking. She now wishes to gift her mother a tracker very soon! 

We salute the efforts of Manisha Mahajan from the Nashik City Police Force for her dedication to serve the country as well as remain active!

How Did Police Officer Sharad Hembade Go From Healthy to Healthier?

Sharad Hembade

Being a part of the Police Force means that you need to be healthy and active at all times. Poor health or lack of activity can come in the way of duty otherwise. But, as an officer, if you’ve been active throughout your life, is there a way you can improve further? Let’s find out from the journey of Officer Sharad Hembade from the Nashik City Police. 

Being an Active Force of the Police Force! 

Sharad Hembade has served 18 years as an officer and has been stationed at Nashik for the past 12 years. He is happily married and has 2 kids. When he isn’t involved in his police duties, he treks – sometimes with a group and sometimes alone around Maharashtra. He has also participated in a number of marathons pan India as and when time permitted. 

Apart from these activities, he also participates in cycling events. One such event was organized by the Nashik Cyclists Foundation which spanned from Nashik to Pandharpur and back – a distance of 365 to 375km which he undertook in the year 2018. They completed 185 km on the first day and 80 km on the second. The entire distance was covered in 2 days and 2 hours. Though it was tiring, he said the event was worth remembering.

From Healthy to Healthier!  

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure on the police force has increased exponentially. To ensure the safety of our frontline heroes, a GOQii Tracker was handed over to the entire Nashik City Police Force by their commissioner, Shri. Vishwas Nangare Patil two months back. All the mechanisms of the tracker including temperature monitoring and how to use the app was explained to them. 

Though Officer Sharad Hembade was already quite active, GOQii helped bring in a newfound enthusiasm in him by motivating him to complete his daily step count target and check all the habits set by his GOQii Coach. Compared to before, he says that his entire routine is now structured when compared to his lifestyle before. 

The structure and changes to his routine introduced by his GOQii Coach were: 

  • Starting his day with a walk-run combo from 6 AM to around 8:30 AM. He also includes some bodyweight exercises and a few minutes of yoga and meditation towards the end. 
  • On the diet front, he was asked to introduce more protein sources to his meals 
  • Reducing water intake as he used to consume 6-7 liters a day which his coach explained were harmly as he would be losing a lot of essential minerals in the process. 
  • Including more plant-based protein sources such as rajma, chana and various kinds of lentils for lunch and dinner. 
  • Walking between shift hours instead of being seated. 

Thanks to these minor changes, he was able to lose 4kg in 2 months. He has also begun purchasing healthy products from the GOQii Health Store such as protein snacks and bars. 

What Does Officer Sharad Hembade Think About His Changes? 

He says his job involves a lot of stress for obvious reasons and hence, it is extremely important to have a positive mindset and handle it on a daily basis. Physical activity helps in developing the body as well as the mind – willpower improves and it also helps ease the stress. This has been his belief throughout his life. He says that right now, GOQii is like their caretaker and health inspector – constantly monitoring and reminding them to take care of their health! 

We salute the efforts of Officer Sharad Hembade and his dedication to serve the country as well as remain fit and active!
