Swati Jaiswal: Fitness Writer
Swati is a Content Writer and Blogger based in India, who is fervently passionate about nutrition, and supplements – anything that sounds synonymous with fitness and health.
Swati is a regular contributor on Gaining Tactics and has worked as a guest writer for numerous fitness and health websites and blogs. She has been certified for completion of online courses in Nutrition, Essentials of Sports Nutrition, and Bodybuilding Supplements.
Apart from online courses, she is constantly looking to absorb factually correct information on health and fitness, personalizing workout and diet routines for herself and people in her circle, who wish to adopt a better lifestyle.
For Swati, however, fitness was not always the foremost priority – not before her senior year of high school anyway. She would rather prefer fries and coke over curves (at the right places). Her idea of fitness was limited to cycling and morning jogs before she reluctantly signed up for a gym with a few friends. Although her idea was to drop the whole gig the moment her body said ‘no, you can’t drag me there, again’, the burn she felt, as she says, was ‘exhilarating and challenging’.
Something about Swati is that she loves challenges. Although she never thought she could, yet, every time she wanted to stop, she pushed herself harder. Now, working out, and blogging her heart out about general well-being and fitness, nutrition and health have become a regular thing for her. She is of the viewpoint that her passion for fitness and a healthy lifestyle has not only had a positive impact on her body but also her mind, giving her a boosted self-confidence.
Apart from writing on Health and Fitness, Swati also works on niches such as Digital Marketing, Animals, Lifestyle, and Travel.
When Swati isn’t ‘working’ or ‘working-out’, she is probably delving deep into case laws, conflux of constitutional rights and privacy (or some good fiction), listening to Pink Floyd, or planning to hit the beach sometime.
Dipanjana Mukherjee: Fitness Writer
Dipanjana’s tryst with fitness and nutrition started way back in high school when she developed an interest in reading about workout routines and diets. As a concept, the idea of taking care of her body seemed appealing, but in reality, it was more of a love-hate relationship. To commit to fitness, she thought she had to give up on all her free time.
That’s when she realised, fitness should be personalized and it’s important to know how things work to be able to figure out what’s best for an individual. She realized that she can do things at her own pace, as long as she had a strategy in place. When Dipanjana started actively working out and setting personal fitness goals in her University days, she realized the wonders it could do for her mental health as well.
Over time, she has become the go-to person in her social circles for fitness advice. Dipanjana believes the trick is to do in-depth research to figure out what will work for your body, instead of following fads and trends. She strongly encourages people to not get intimidated and simply take the first baby step on their fitness journey. She claims that fitness has truly been a transformative experience for her- both physically and mentally.
Dipanjana is a postgraduate student of Literature, and has studied Nutrition alongside- both as part of her University curriculum as well as online certificate courses. When she is not working out, Dipanjana can usually be found writing blogs and screenplays or napping amidst a sea of pillows.
Dina Mustabašić – MPharm | MNutr | Certified Nutrition Specialist
Dina was always a skinny girl and had a small appetite. However, in her early 20s, she gained some weight. This didn’t bother her until she couldn’t fit into her favorite jeans. Determined to lose some weight, she became interested in nutrition and fitness.
She purchased her first fitness program, cut sugar and carbs, and finally started to see some progress. She didn’t like cardio and doesn’t like it to this day, but she was persuasive. Her love for carbs proved to be a bigger challenge, leading her to struggle with her diet. She later realized that carbs weren’t the enemy and that cardio wasn’t the only solution for weight loss.
At the persuasion of a friend, she joined the gym and completely fell in love with weightlifting. Every time she left the gym, she felt renewed, which is why it became her favorite place.
While pursuing her M.Pharm, she was introduced to Bromatology, a study of food. Dina made a promise to herself to earn a second degree in Nutrition. She kept her promise and graduated with straight A’s, earning a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Today, she works as a nutritionist, dietitian, health consultant, and writer.
She transformed from a girl who didn’t like food to a woman who makes moaning sounds while she eats. She went from hating cardio to hating rest days, from avoiding carbs to enjoying her favorite pasta. Dina learned that balance is key. Nobody should have to give up their favorite food or force themselves to do a workout they hate. Life is too short to torture yourself. It is meant to be lived to the fullest.
