One look at Zareen Siddique's Instagram account, @fitwithzareen, and it is clear that she lives and breathes workouts. A single mother of two kids, Zareen flaunts her perfect body and a positive demeanor on social media as an inspiration to others struggling with physical training. She says that it is very important to maintain a regular daily nutrition value intake while working out to negate the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
You must listen to this certified online nutrition and core fitness coach, who is an ardent runner herself. She also runs marathons on a regular basis. Among her other qualifications are a Reebok Group Fitness Certification, Master Function Training Certification and a Diploma in Dietetics and Nutrition.

Speaking about how functional training is different from the traditional workout, Zareen explains, "In functional training, your several muscle groups work simultaneously delivering a full-body regime taking lesser time than a traditional strength training session. The moves require stabilizing and activating your core, which is necessary across all sports. Dynamic moves combine agility, balance and jumping. Moves may include lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, turning, standing, starting, stopping, climbing or lunging. You exercise on several planes instead of a single plane."
Her in-depth knowledge of functional training is first-hand. She puts it to good use by customizing fitness plans for her clients. This, she does, after scanning their lifestyle and dietary intakes very minutely. Though she trains herself and her clients with kettlebells, cable columns, dumbbells, and resistance bands she says one can workout at home, with household types of equipment as well to achieve desirable results. The key is to stay motivated and do it right.
One important aspect of her diet plans is that she doesn't believe in removing any food group or any food. Her well-balanced healthy meal plans are designed so as to manage calories from all food groups.
Zareen specializes in post-pregnancy weight loss and fitness too. Besides, she is also a motivational coach and regularly interacts with women, encouraging them to make exercise a part of their daily lives. This, she insists, can be achieved by making 'small changes in diet & lifestyle.' It is no surprise that Zareen's work also makes her a motivational coach to her clients. After all, it requires a lot of self-control and motivation to stay on the path of tough functional training and Zareen realizes how important it is to keep bucking up her clients through their daily rigors.
As for the aspiring young men and women, who want to build a career out of fitness and nutrition coaching, Zareen has this to say, "There are many good reputed institutes in India and outside offering courses. It is always advisable to educate yourself in the field that you want to work in and of course, at the end of the day, it's your work and your talents which combines you for a ride to long-term financial, commercial journey."
