We heard of 'divine discontent', a discontent for not being able to reach superior-self of one. How often we hear of discontent for not being able to participate in health exercise, when many hundreds perform the same, before one? How do we term it?

There was a discontent brewing among the faculty members whose responsibility is to engage the students in this program. To see interesting and inspirational exercises being carried out day after day and not being able to participate in it, was at the root of this discontent. Yes, yearning for health and fitness is infectious!

This was the fourth morning of the relaunched program. And the faculty could work out solution to for this too!  What did we find? They themselves were also participating in the exercises, were following the trainer to the best of their capacity. The first two stills here are from continuous shot of a video. The videos are available at the end of this posts and in our youtube channel (Link). We take this opportunity to introduce the faculty members associated with this program, working with the students in the field on WED and SAT morning. The faculty list is given later in this post.

These are light physical training. Even then all have been sensitized with repeat communications so that none overstretches and does as much as body permits and slowly the fitness will increase. The buzzwords are progressive overload: frequency, intensity, time, type.

And as the trainer keeps saying, it is all about gaining control over body and mind.

The field game, which had been a part of this program, was at its peak today. While some amount of disqualification cannot be ruled out :-) Group 2B and 8C were declared winner and the fair play award went to Group 4C, 5A, 5B. There is a video clip at the end of this post.

The session ended after the game with, as has been the practice, light stretching, breathing, mental concentration and posture correction exercise.
