With the increasing awareness about health and fitness, the number of women entering this industry is increasing by 3-4% every year, and it is showing no signs of slowing down. Apart from the kind of hectic lifestyle women lead today, other reasons for the fitness industry to boom in India are the increasing diet consciousness and demand for healthy food, free online exercise classes, budget-friendly gyms, and more. In recent years, we have had an array for women entering the health & fitness industry in the form of trainers, dieticians, fitness entrepreneurs and more. The Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) encourages every woman that wishes to realize her professional dreams by providing expert online career guidance, free online courses, career tests, various free career-related tools and more.

Here are a few fitness-related areas where women are leaving their stamp:

Yoga

Although Yoga is an age-old form of mental and physical exercise done for health and relaxation, recently we have seen an influx of a large number of women into this realm. All of these women believe in sustainable results with a focus on the quality of movement and that will make you fit from within instead of just having weight loss. Some of the notable women in this field are Urmi Kothari, Shalini Bhargava and more.

Zumba

Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. Zumba routines incorporate alternating fast and slow rhythms and resistance training. Owing to the kind of exercise form that Zumba is, it has been catching on very well with the youth and the elderly people of the country. Sucheta Pal is country's first Zumba Education Specialist (ZES) and was recognized as brand ambassador for Zumba by Zumba Miami in 2016 and was one among the 140 select master trainers in the world.

Pilates

Pilates is a form of exercise which concentrates on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength. This helps to improve general fitness and overall well-being. Namrata Purohit is a celebrity Pilates instructor and is the official fitness expert to The Femina Miss India International pageant since 2011. Among her notable achievements is the publishing of her first book "The Lazy Girls Guide to Being Fit" at the age of 21.

Nutrition

There has been growing concern over eating patterns of the youth these days. Nutritionists are professionals who are trained to provide advice and counseling about food and nutrition. They use the best available evidence coupled with good judgment about the client's or communities' unique values and circumstances to provide guidance and recommendations. Rujuta Diwekar is a celebrity nutritionist and author and has many stars attached to her names such as Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan & more. She is also the author of seven books on health and nutrition.

There are many more women actively involved in the health & fitness industry like Yasmin Karachiwala (Celebrity fitness trainer), Pooja Makhija (Nutritionist), Cindy Jourdain (CrossFit, Thai Boxing, and Yoga), Shwetambari (Fitness Expert), etc. The opportunities for growth in this field are endless today. The Glow & Lovely Careers encourages all women who wish to venture into this industry by providing them free online career guidance and much more.

How 26 Year Old Vibha Used Her PCOD Experience And Got Featured in Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30

Vibha Harish suffered from PCOD as a teen. But rather than a complaint about it, she used it as a learning experience to start her own company of herbal cosmetics Vibha was a teenager when she started suffering from severe PCOD. This resulted in severe hair fall and acne as well as irregular periods. She visited many doctors and underwent many treatments. But nothing worked. Worried about her daughter's health, her mother started mixing ayurvedic powders like Ashwagandha and Shatavari in her food. Within a few months, Vibha could feel the difference in her health. Over a period of time, her hair-fall reduced, and periods regularised. This experience left Vibha impressed with the power of herbal products and Ayurveda. **As ayurvedic medicines helped her cure her condition, she thought of formulating ayurvedic products and selling them.** Driven by her thought of starting something of her own, Vibha left her corporate job. This was her first step to success. The next step was getting to know the field in depth. So she started interacting with herbal practitioners from different parts of the world. From the USA to Singapore, she spoke with everyone and gained tremendous knowledge about this field. Along with that, she took guidance from her mother. Vibha was so determined that she took a course on Herbalism too. Then she visited different farms in Karnataka to formulate her own herbal products. With sufficient knowledge and information, Vibha Harish launched her own herbal nutrition and plant-based supplement company. She called it Cosmix. The main goal of Cosmix was to make products to improve health and immunity in women. **Within one year, Cosmix registered a turnover of around Rs 2 crore!** Just when it seemed that everything was going well, the Covid Pandemic hit. During this Pandemic, Vibha's business came to hold. Due to the safety reasons of her employees, she gave her business a short break. But she did not stop her work during that period. She noticed that children between three to six years of age are not getting proper nutrition. "Earlier, these children, living in rural areas of Karnataka, were part of mid-day meal schemes which ensured daily nutrition. However, once schools were shut, they were unable to eat nutritious food. Some of them were even malnourished," she said. That's when Vibha decided to start the programme - Nutrition for All. Through this programme, food and energy bars are given to malnourished children in rural India. Last checked, around 2,50,000 bars were distributed to 1400 children. Vibha used part of the company's profits to fund the "Nutrition for All" programme Vibha's ambition and her desire to do something different is really an inspiration to girls today. Just like Vibha, there are also so many young girls who are thinking out of the box and doing different things.
