Sunday is usually a rest day when and that’s when I go shopping for my daily gym ware and accessories. I usually go to this popular retailer Decathlon in Sohna Road, Gurgaon where they hosted this great workshop “Warm Up Gurgaon”. All sports lovers including some cyclists staying in Gurgaon attended this workshop and I was surprised to see their participation. The workshop was totally inspiring and the idea was to educate their regular customers as to how they can self-train themselves for the unexplored sports Hiking and health boosting day to day running in their monotonous schedules.
The best part of the workshop was that the hosts of the events were also people who live normal lives like all of us and have regular jobs, family who have taken the sports as their passion.


The first session was hosted by Mr. Chetan Sehgal who’s a real estate professional and a hiker. He described how he took the sport as his passion and how it gives him inner peace and personal time with himself. After his motivating introduction he talked about the necessity of spending time with oneself. To Chetan, hiking helps him maintain a balance in life and break the monotony of daily hassle. Hiking to even me, was a difficult sport with my limited knowledge however, with the help of internet and a one stop shop like Decathlon which has “All for sports and Sports for all” even their tagline says the same; anyone can pursue this sport without any hassle. Chetan, demonstrated how to get ready for a hike and what all one needs to carry and ensure a safe hiking.


This was followed by a great session on Running by Captain Dharamveer who’s a corporate professional and running enthusiast. Captain talked about how he transformed from being a chain smoker to a runner who has participated in numerous marathons. He talked about the health benefits of running of course and how it can help one re gain self-confidence. Captain Dharamveer told us how he chooseshis apparel and shoes for a perfect run. He also talked about the importance and benefits of hydrating the body.
