It is easy to fall prey to a sedentary lifestyle especially with a hectic schedule that revolves around work, home and stress. Somewhere, a healthy life and fitness has taken a backseat for most people. But, most people forget that staying fit and active is a mantra to being more productive at work! There may be many constraints that might prevent you from working out but there’s always a solution. We call it the Lunchtime Workouts!
