  • Why is it called so?

    Sharing a couple of pictures, taken from the internet, before making my point:

    A comparison image showing two types of shoes: on the left, a shoe labeled 'Wide Toe Box' with a natural toe shape on a green background, and on the right, a shoe labeled 'Wide Shoes' with a boat-shaped design on a red background.
    Collage of images showcasing various types of shoes with wide toe boxes, including barefoot shoes, sandals, and sneakers, highlighting their natural toe shapes.

    They call these shoes, which accommodate your toes and natural shape of the feet without scrunching, ‘wide toe box’ shoes. They’ve also been calling them barefoot shoes for quite long.

    Both are misnomers. They imply the acceptance of the boat-shaped shoes as ‘normal’.

    Huh! Never in the history of our evolution humans have had boat-shaped feet. Boat-shaped shoes are not normal. Not natural.

    It is these newer ‘wide toe box’ shoes which have natural-looking and natural-feeling toe boxes that are normal. Most natural. And therefore, they aren’t ‘wide’. They are exactly as I’ve been trying to say. Natural. Natural toe box. Yeah?

    We got used to wearing the non-normal boat-shaped shoes. Only now we’ve started adopting the natural toe box shoes. Long way to go. Have you stepped into the natural ones?

  • Repressed Emotions?

    I just came across a Youtube video titled “How Repressed Emotions Trigger Autoimmune Disease”. I think I believe it.

    So if you have any autoimmune disease, it would be right for you to ask, “Has any emotion been repressed?”

    The next question then is, “Which is that emotion / which are those emotions that have been repressed?”

    Obviously when you ask such questions, you will attempt to answer in words.

    So the next question is, “Is it possible to identify and name the repressed emotion(s)?”

    It is a big deal. It is worth the exercise. No?

  • 8 sets of 4 each

    What I’ve done is this: I’ve limited every set of push-ups to 10, every set of chin-ups to 4. As a result, I am able to cross 200 push-ups fairly easily. I am able to do 8 sets of chin-ups quiet comfortably.

    Earlier, I would push myself to almost failure in the first set itself. Subsequent sets, I would struggle and would have to push myself to failure. The reps in sets fluctuated. Felt erratic. Sometimes just didn’t get a satisfying feeling. And would get hyper tired.

    Let’s see how this change shapes my effort.

  • Unexpected Push-ups

    10 push-ups at any time was an unexpected convenient toffee-like measure.

    And now I do push-ups at unexpected moments. Just 10 at a time. Without any burden of doing any given number of sets or number.

  • 10 Push-ups

    I’ve stopped eating chocolates. Not that I was eating a lot earlier, but whatever I used to, I’ve cut down on that too.

    10 Push-ups is my new toffee. I’m going to binge on that it seems.

  • Dips

    The last 2 days, I figured a more satisfying way of dipping.

    I can classify dips at least into 2 categories: shallow dips and deep dips.

    Deep dips require strength, and I feel great after every set.

  • 100 Squats

    Yesterday, for the first time, I did 100 squats in one short session. 3 sets. 50, 20, 30.

    Didn’t have any weight on my shoulders to add to the stress. Will try with weights now.

  • Benefits of Walking

    We don’t have to be poorer.

    Imagine that folks need to informed, and advised about the ‘benefits’ of walking?! And since there are ‘benefits’ of walking, so we should walk?!

    The headline would read: Science says Walking has 7 Benefits.

    Really? And then we have the audacity to say we are educated?!

    And if your time goes into reading such stuff, would you have the time to read anything better?

    Wait, there’s a Youtube video with another 9 benefits of walking?! O, wow!

    I don’t want to read your s***. Bye!

  • One condition

    If I can’t spend time on moving my body, I refuse entertainment that occupies my time and makes my body sit.

  • Which situation applies to you?

    Dear Shoe Lover,

    I want to bother you a bit. I know it’s slightly more difficult than to buy shoes but still, I want you to think a bit more. And be a bit more truthful than your limits permit. Will you?

    In case you weren’t bothered and are kind enough, do drop your answer in the comments. Or any other comment that can lead to a chat.

  • Sunlight

    Sunlight is an important part of gymming. What I mean is sunrays touching your skin while gymming.

    And the lifestyles that have developed now, while gymming, the gym prevents sunrays from touching your skin. In fact, on the contrary, the gym airconditions your skin.

  • Before posting any selfie or tik-tok video or a rant on social media, pause and ask yourself, “Is it better to do a pull-up than post this in this moment?”

  • Walking vs Scooting

    In the range of 300 to 500 metres, how many such distances you walk down compared to scooting down?

    If you can even roughly measure that, can indicate what’s wrong or right in your head.

  • Chin-ups-in-Progress

    Dear Razia Sultan,

    So my motion through chin-ups has gotten so much better. Am pleasantly surprised. Took quite a long time to come to this. I wouldn’t have imagined such a long time, but then I didn’t keep a track of progress in motion and time, both. I just kept doing different variations and tried to improve the counts.

    Did you keep a track of your age Razia Sultan? How would you have measured the impact of your incredible political moves?

    Here I am just happy with my chin-up counts.

    O this pain in my palm… This southeast corner of my silly mobile phone leads to this. Congratulating myself.

  • Mind constantly retrieves some or the memory in…

    Mind constantly retrieves some or the memory in response to keeping eyes, ears and senses open… When there isn’t much to do but the body and mind are in alert state, retrieval is a dominant form of being. Focusing means retrieval, while active, is still subservient to whatever the mind is focusing on.

    There are other states where focusing and retrieval are not dominant. Boredom?
