Surround yourself with good people and good podcasts like this one. You have no idea how much I love this family. 😍
Aw this means so much to us!!
That's true, @@ZarnaGarg!! You have no idea the good impact that is having your podcast in my life. I discovered you and your family a few days ago and although I am from Argentina, from a diferent culture and my first language is spanish, the way you mix jokes and wisdom has much more impact in my positivity. Thank you and thank your family. ❤
I totally agree to what you told
I agreeee❤ totally
I loved how cutely Zarna said " O my son is going to be a doctor"😂such a sweet and loving mother she is❤
The best news!
Missed the little one in this episode. Brij is A+. He is an amazing kid and can't wait to see what all these kids accomplish in the future.
Shalabh is very sensible. I like his tips. Zarna, yes, please do an episode on splitting bills.
Second the motion on a podcast about splitting the dinner bill.
Ahhh! Thank you!
I was literally working out listening to you guys. This is a great conversation. I love what Zoya said about working out 10 min a day is better than a long work out twice a week. I work out 20min a day and do 5min mindfulness practice after. It’s great. With portion control, it’s working really really well for me.
Welcome to the fam!!!
You guys are phenomenal. The family group is evolving in every way. It’s a joy , 💕
Aw! Means the world!!
You are getting an A+ from me mom ! I am navigating the same situation and it was so refreshing to see someone else who is from a completely different culture living exactly the same challenges. You brought up points that I haven’t even thought about.
Zola will get A because she brought the most important thing , values . Sometimes people can be from the same race and not share the same values .
You guys are a beautiful family
I appreciated how you all shared your opinions on important topics in the last episode. I was impressed by Brij for bringing up the medical fact that alcohol is bad for health. However, my top grade goes to Zoya for highlighting the issue of females being criticized for eating a full meal and being told they eat "too much."
Absolutely ! I have always told this to my mom that don't ask me to eat less and be on diet all the time. Instead, i will work out and be fit .
Aw I appreciate you!!
I agree about your point on sneakers. The biggest hurdle of getting to the gym is putting on your shoes.
Exactly!!
One of the best episodes...i started exercise way way late in my life(36+) and am still cursing myself why it take so long...also with the working life...i dont know how long this honeymoon phase will last...Brij's fundamentals are very clear...Gym is useful for women as well especially strength training(useful for all independent of gender)...also diet is most important...and agree with his rant on how Indian people cannot gain same muscle as white counterparts(is it due to fact that they are majority non-veg and Indians aren't?)....i feel jealous of watching such episodes where people at young age have access and direction to right things in life(i.e gym or any form of consistent exercise) which primarily helps in self worth and confidence, more than the obvious physical benefits..kudos.
Im 64 and I do zumba walk hike and will be lifting soon my goals are balance strength and since zumba is choreograph it helps keep my brain in shape👍🏽love all your podcasts👏🏽👏🏽
Wow you are a star
I'm a woman diagnosed with ADHD at 29-- many things Zoya says though several podcasts deeply resonate with me. I respectfully wonder if she may be neurodivergent as well. Examples: movement helping with clarity, collector and sharer of many wonderful facts, very intelligent, and difficulties with being on time. The episode where she took responsibility for being late and some family members mentioned it was the fourth time and it is a matter of respect, and that she would not have been late to a business meeting or other such event really reminded me of many of my interactions. As a person with time blindness, I don't share with others how often I was truly late because I was deeply ashamed and thought something was wrong with me. Also, another presentation of ADHD is what others consider to be "careless mistakes" such as when Zoya set her alarm or notification for 1pm instead of 10am. I only got diagnosed because someone else mentioned it to me.
Also, these podcasts are just snapshots of her life and this could just be me noticing things I relate to as an ADHDer and focusing on them and not thinking about reasons she would be different from me. She could also be neurotypical. I just wanted to mention in just in case it could be helpful. Diagnosis allowed me to understand my brain and forgive myself for being different. Sending good vibes.
Yes ! Surya namaskar is a full body workout. It’s great to loose weight. Start from doing 5 daily, and increase to 30 SM’s in 30 mins. It’s a great workout.
Best in the world!👍
??? Is that also known as Sun Salutations?
@@gypsygirl9 yes.
Yesss!!
Great tips, Brij! Thanks for sharing, all of you!
Absolutely loved the latest episode! Thanks for inviting us into your family chat. My wellness journey began with intermittent fasting, weightlifting, yoga, and walking, but it took a transformative turn when I discovered meditation. It's been surprisingly more effective than anything else I've tried. I strongly advocate for integrating meditation into our exercise and diet routines. While meditation is traditionally associated with spiritual growth, its profound impact on both physical health and mental well-being is unparalleled in my experience. Wish you all the best with fun family podcast !!!
Woo Thank YOU
And AGAIN this beautiful family gave us a great episode!!
So gladd!!!
I absolutely loved loved this episode. So many excellent points. Zoya’s on how women wear gym clothes (still fashionable) all day and this motivates them to exercise more. I live in Athleta clothes basically and it matters. Shalabh’s point on men grooming- this is so important for all men I believe. It is so simple and so much appreciated by women. I loved how Brij mentioned that he exercises to look good. Well done to all! It was a joy watching.
Amazing!! Thank you!!!
I really enjoy the podcast. Its such an amazing show. Thoroughly enjoy my time watching it.
Thank you so much for all your efforts in making this.
A+ to Zoya for her comment about even just 10 mins per day is enough, it's the consistency/daily effort that counts over time - because that is what I do. I pick one or two small exercises and do those for 10 mins only and it's been just fine :)) 🙌🙌
Wooo!
Agree with Zarna on the protein powder ! It IS a lot of chemicals
Yess!!
Loved how Zoya talked about the importance of eating well to be healthy ❤ way to go Zoya !
Loved this discussion! A grade to the whole family! Yes, consistency, discipline and motivation are important to lead a healthy life!
So glad!!
I have laughed so much watching your videos. They are awesome and a stress buster for me. Continue to make us laugh.
I am so glad!!
Another great episode family! You guys are so wholesome-each having their own opinion and yet giving space to the other!
Specifically about exercising-as a physical therapist working for the last 15years the smallest tip I can suggest is ‘Moderate Intensity’ exercises These could be 3 days of 50mins or 5 days of 30mins.Mix it up with resistance training and cardio.Yes,walking counts! But as Zarna said -you shouldn’t be able to hold a conversation while walking.That’s the right pace!
Thank you!!!
Im hooked on your family zoom chats!! I binge watched them all in a week lol and waiting for you to come to Los Angeles for your show!❤❤
Wooo!! Welcome to the fam!
I love all your episodes from the beginning. But this episode was epic🤩
19:16 Zarna 😂😂 great episode as always ! Missed veer
ahaha!!
Excellent episode. Great to have the span of ages talking about the pressures + and - that most people contend with. I am off to get Target to buy some exercise clothes. Thanks.
Zarna was spot on when she said for some of us going to the gym is intimidating because everyone seems to know what they are doing. And the fear of injuring ourselves trying to do something we never did is real.
Haha :D
Eating is such a great tip for South Asian women! So many women in my mom’s generation just do not eat enough.
Grooming is also such a great point.. so relevant to south Asians especially men who are never taught to be well groomed. It’s so important for your confidence and mental wellness as well.
Yes yes yes!!
Thanks for spreading joy ! Please Come to edmonton or Calgary with a full standup show - Aunty Zarna !
Thank YOU
Such great suggestions from all the Gargs! I want to give my A+ to Zoya for discussing how growing up with a mother who ate full, nourishing meals was instrumental in forming her own attitudes towards health, fitness and food. Too many women have such mixed emotions towards eating and food, so kudos to Zoya for highlighting this, and to Zarna for being such a great role model in this arena.
I was so looking forward to this episode, because last episode -- "Let's Roast Mom" -- made me afraid there would never be another one! Kudos to Zarna and all of you for rolling with the punches and making the next podcast.
Woo!!
Good for you Zarna for instilling *a fitness culture* in ur kids n of course your husband.. tc
Wow! This family is adorable!
Zarna talking about sneakers was on point.. nice family informative episode; Zoya and Brij’s info👍combination of yoga, brisk walking is helping me.
Haha!!
What you eat today helps you tomorrow. That’s what I have been listening since childhood and it’s so true.
Only an Indian Mom can say with such mesmerising & emotion..”Ohhh my son is going to be a doctor “ 😊
No smoking,no alcohol ! ….Mom has done a great job !!
Yess!! Haha!
I loved this episode so much I love excersizing as well, I am not necessarily small bc I am a powerlifter but I have been getting healthier over the years, it’s been a journey with my fitness for sure and as a Filipina, we got our first Olympic gold medal in women’s powerlifting so I minus as well try to make my country proud through it lol 😂
Aw so glad!!
Excellent episode! A to Brij !
Enjoyed this one. Great tips from each one of the Gargs.
Ahhhh so glad
I know exactly what you mean about splitting dinner costs.... my husband and I actually stopped going out with a couple of friends who would order so many dishes per person and then waste them saying '''not nice...and then the bill would split equally!
A big shout out to Brij. Social drinking and smoking is such an unnecessary social evil. At 17, for him to realize how bad these are for your body and to have the courage to voice those thoughts aloud, A+ for Brij.
My doctor :)
Aww I love how cute and happy the mom became when her son said sciency,,,,you are such a sweet mom so loving ❤❤
I love watching this. You guys done a fantastic job as parents .I have 3 year old son and if he turn up like them My job is 90% done 😍 Of course I am Asian mom and would devote my life to make that happen 😝
The board in Brij's room that says time left:13 mins has been pretty timeless through all the episodes:)
Haha!!
So relatable this family is and their discussion. When she spoke about protein powder, she so reminded me of my mum 😅
Loved it! ❤
This family is so relatable ....it's awesome
#❤fromIndia
Aw!!
Planks and the V sit r the best low impact exercises to lose weight. Eliminating sugar and processed foods on top of that helps a lot. I lost 20lbs doing these things.
Oh wow!!
GREAT view Brij 👌👌👌🙏🙏❤️❤️. A plus to you 👏👏👏👏❤️
Woo!!
This is such a great episode yet again by this beautiful family 🥰🥰 my A grade goes to Brij for such a responsible statement about alcohol 👏👏👏 As a woman over 45 , I have learnt that no sugar or atleast low sugar diet , strength training 4 times a week , long walks thrice a week and me time helps me maintain good health
So glad!!
I like this topic. I feel everyone was spot on with living mindfully. I’ve been doing everything you all say. I wish you spoke about time restricted eating more. That too started in India!! I’m with Zarna on protein shakes, I’m not a fan of those. Sleeping, I think Zoya brought that up, is one I have to work on. Finding inspiration to keep you moving is key whether it be clothes, shoes or friends. Zoya and Shalabh had many many good points but I’ll give A grade to Brij in his articulate explanation of cells and alcohol drinking. Very mature and, yes, pre-med.
Thank you so much!!
Whatttaaaaa brilliant episode ❤
So glad!!
Thank you, Surya, about the alcohol talk. I will definitely cut it down! Helpul information.
All of you were great. Love the Garg family. A+ to Brij again because of the "sciency" revelations he made on the show. He made the whole family proud not to mention the viewers.
Aw so glad
This was a great episode lol
Yay!!
Zarna , so relate to you on this one and the Indian woman’s struggle to go to a gym and lift weights! However people dont seem to acknowledge the real weight we carry 24/7 on behalf of our families , kids , home , extended family , friends , parents , in laws !!! Ha ha ha maybe that’s why our bodies resist so much . Because I think we carry a lot of weight already ! You could have a spin off on the Indian women’s struggle with exercise!
Yesss!!!
Loved this session. :)
Aw!
Zarna your kids are so unbiased and made their own opinion, i suppose you should not think that they are biased. Although I could relate with you more than others with regard to excercise a woman of same age, as a mother and as a working woman. But I will try to follow the tips your kids gave.
Watched you live in Mumbai in April @auntiezarna loved it!! Lots of love 🤍
Zarna, 100%, I have gotten injured when I started lifting (later in life) I suggest getting an experienced Physical Therapist (for several sessions) to see how you move with body weight and then slowly add in weight. I avoided trainers, do not know the body well enough. Proper form is everything.
A to Brij ! Great tips and workout encouragement
Aw so glad!
Good explanation, Brij! Great advice to those who consume lots of alcohol!
Haha yess!!
I also have green drink and do intermittent fasting like Shalabh does.🙂 I agree with him as it does really help to improve my health.
Amazing!!
A+ to Zoya for talking positively about Yoga because I have reaped myriad benefits as I have been a Yoga practitioner, since 2001. Walking and Yoga is a lethal combination, I say that from experience.
A+ to Zarna, for flashing that stunningly beautiful smile, when she heard Brij talk about cells and Alcohol. Zarna, you need to show us that wide smile more often.
A+ to Shalabh, for talking positively about grooming, because grooming is a sure sign of self-love.
A+ to Brij for being a smart young man, wanting to make the right decisions in life. The breathing that he was talking about is called “Mukha Dhauti “.
Honored!!
Your children are so beautiful and sensible.I love you guys.❤
Walking is great ….. I try to walk as much but also try to do prostrations. (not religious)
My A grade to BRIJ..yes to no alcohol 👍👍👍
Yess!!
Track and field Going to check it out now
!!!
Watching this as I eat my fourth aam (Mango)! Superb!
LOL!
"Look Good, Play Good!!" - it sounds like a slogan, an outfitting company has made up!! 😂 sixer from Zarna!!
I give A grade to Brij too.. who mentioned about "no alcohol" and breathe in through nose and breathe out through mouth..
I have taken up Brahmavidya exercise.. which grooms me for right breathing(improving lung capacity through very simple but effective breathing exercises.. like pranayaama and so on)
Good thoughts (spiritual uplifting).. and good healthy food.. For healthy longevity.. This technique works for me 🤝.and hope that many browse about Brahmavidya course and benefit from its methods ...🙏
Thank you for tuning in!!
I love you guys - love from Australia
Aw welcome!!
Brij is getting my A+ this week! Drinking alcohol is overrated. And smoking is a DEAL BREAKER!
REAL!!
I really enjoyed it. Both the kids were so inspirational AND Brij ! Oh my God! You should def be a doctor 😅. Honestly , i literallly started feeling physically better when he was talking and explaining !
Love to you and your family Zarna ji 😊😊❤❤
Aw so glad!!
Zoya n Brij look similar to their Father but their eyes are like their mother n Veer is similar to Zarna. Love your podcast discussions. Love you guys. Stay blessed, safe, healthy and happy. 💯👌👏👍☝🤞😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎fm- England 🇬🇧 U.K.
Yess!!
to answer Brij's question about how it is difficult for Indians to gain muscles it is because a typical Indian diet mostly consists of carbs and not much required protein, and it's difficult to change the eating habits as well.
Yes !!
Great point about alcohol, Brij.
My doctor :)
Totally agree with Zarna! My trainer was pretty aggressive the first day, so much that I gave up after a week.
P.S: This is in Australia
Aw hello!!!
The Bulgarians also say the Greeks stole their recipe for Greek salad. Lol. Its so funny. Yes I agree we can all share.
I missed super kid Veer.
Super kid truly
Dear Brij red meat is the only food having perfectly absorbable all amino acids we need. In addition it is providing absorbable iron too.
Lol alway a laugh, always a pleasure.😊😅
Even though Veer is not as chatty, its not the same wo him. I missed you Veer!😊
Haha!!
Lol..Shalabh..omg.."loosey goosey shorts"😂😂😂
That was so funny I was also wondering what this loosely Goosey shorts looked like 😂
As a yoga instructor myself, I agree that yoga is one of the best forms of exercise in and out. I have not been practicing it for years and watching this podcast makes me guilty and must go back to yoga. For guys who choose to do yoga, I suggest not to do too much waist twisting as it will make you look too slim.
Kamail Nanjiani got super jacked for The Eternals. I know he’s Pakistani and not Indian but both nationalities are Southeast Asian. So I think it’s possible for Indian men to build muscle. But Nanjiani probably had lots of trainers and trained constantly for weeks. 🤷♀️
Haha real!!
A+ to Zoya and mommy for point of “eating food”
POV:Greek yogurt too is Indian,hung curd aka chakka which is then smoothened ☺️
In india ..things are not like that now. . Women below 30 go to gym a lot. Even after 40 women have started going to gyms (my mom 53 goes regularly) ...and this is a town I am talking about. Cities have even more gym goers. There are women only gyms available also. And the point where zarna mentioned that she feels intimidated- In gyms in india there are already 5-6 trainers to teach you and if you want very advanced and personalized training then you can hire a personal trainer.
The money plant behind Zarna ❣
There has been quite a shift now and both indian men and women have started to lift
Can you do one episode in Hindi? Would love to hear your Hindi and your kids speaking Hindi haha
Oo this is a good idea!
Everyone gets an A+ ❤❤❤❤
Shalabh breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There is no knowledgeable doctor who will tell you to skip breakfast. Ofcourse the breakfast should be super healthy, but it is definitely not a good thing to skip breakfast out of all the meals.
And also, you're super funny 😁😁
Actually.."breakfast" break fast is really just the first thing you consume upon waking, regardless of what time you eat it.
Nope , I am a doctor and breakfast is not that important.
Zarna you looked so cute when Brij started talking science.
I was so happy
Weights+yoga+run works for me❤
I don’t have perfect outfit .. I some times run in my house lowers .. but I go out and run 5 km daily .. so I don’t think outfit is much important 😊
I was told that every 3500 steps is worth one pound. Keep the walking consistent like Zoya was saying. The 10000 steps is worth trying, because you stress relief and keeps you in motion when you're walking you could get a meeting done. Walking briskly or speed walking is necessary.
Omg haha!!
I am at 19:19 and I know Aunty Z is going to give Brij the A grade. Will comment back to see if that happens. Brij just earned 100k brownie points: “My son is going to be a doctor” 😂😂😂
And… 🥁 both parents gave their A grades to Brij! I love how all Indian parents see traits of pre-med and their eyes light up and their hearts are on 🔥 immediately!
Haha!!
Look good feel good
10:00 There is some method in bulking up muscles - frequency and intensity of exercise, muscle recovery time, food/supplementation for muscle gain. … Also, just a thought, observe and compare the daily food intake of your white friends and your family’s daily food intake.
Ok all jokes aside I'm gonna start intermittent fasting...
Oh my god!!
Indian women used to lift weights during household chores.
Haha yess!!
Zoya’s input 💯
