Through her venture, Sthiram For Life, she looks to help people achieve their full potential through a holistic approach to strength and conditioning that includes physical training, mental focus, nutrition and lifelong learning. In this episode Rama shares about her own transformation journey through strength and conditioning and running. She shares the nutritional principles that helped through her own transformation and the transformation of her many clients. It was interesting to hear how her own journey started with her trying to set an example for her kids by enrolling into the classes they were afraid of. She signed up for Karate classes to give them company and learnt swimming herself to assure her kid that she will be there to save her if needed. Her honest approach to life and learning comes through in this conversation. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:40 BAR event, her first podium 0:06:15 Classical dance and start of fitness journey 0:09:00 Starting with a gym to lose weight and get stronger 0:16:00 Weightloss journey steps, changes in food habits 0:21:50 Running journey, 83min 10k to 48min 10k 0:28:00 First Half Marathon at Bangalore Marathon, Pandemic running 0:34:00 Training for first Full Marathon (3:49) 0:45:00 Sthiram For Life, Lifestyle modification; 0:50:20 What to eat and when to eat 1:04:40 Talking about microbiome 1:07:10 Accountability partner/group, smaller goals, What is your Why? 1:12:10 Learning and growth, bearable level of difficulty 1:15:00 Tips for working athletes 1:16:00 Closing comments About the Podcast The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future. Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
