Indian Divas for Fitness

Its a normal practice in India that female should be judged mainly by their facial beauty and a good figure. But concept of a good figure also varies from region to region. To be fit and strong is still not  widely accepted concept as far as women's beauty is concerned. Women should be soft..tender..a little bit fleshy..even may be a bit heavier are one of those ideas which is generally symbolised as the virtues of women in India in particular and Asian countries in general.

But our history shows that India has created many bold women who were bold..beautiful and strong. We have seen few such women in our history. One of such women is Sultana Razia....who ruled India in 13 th century for several years. She was an exceptional Queen who could ride horses...could fight and lead a war. Sevral other examples are also there during the period of Independence Movement during 19th & 20th Century. Many women took to the exercises and various forms of combat games with an idea to free our country from the colonial rule.

But still those women were generally considered as exceptions. Still many women feel shy of taking up excercises and think that women may not need to be strong. But ideas are changing fast now. More and more women are taking part in sports and physical activities. They are not confined to their homes only. Women are entering many proffessions which has been considered as the domain of men only a few years back.

So to continue with those activities more and more women are thinking that beuty comes from strength, fitness and personality. To be beautiful you have to be bold, strong and fit.

In this context, few fitness DVDs and CDs are being launched by  some of the most hot and acclaimed Indian Divas. Very recently Shilpa Shetty, Bipasha Basu and Laura Dutta launched their Yoga and Fitness Videos. This has created a very good impact particularly among females. It is expected that now taking inspiration from them..more and more Indian Women will take up Fitness as part of their daily routine.

so..the new mantra of Indian Female is : Beauty comes from your strength..enduarance and stamina...i.e..your overall fitness
