For many, the idea of starting a fitness journey feels daunting. Gym memberships gather dust, resolutions fade by February, and life gets in the way. But one woman's simple, consistent routine has gone viral for proving that transformation is possible — no expensive equipment, no complicated training plans, just 20 minutes a day and sheer determination.According to The Mirror, fitness enthusiast and content creator @misskittymoana decided to commit to running for 20 minutes every single day for four months. Instead of braving unpredictable weather or hitting the gym, she ran on a walking pad from the comfort of her home — often during her lunch break.Her dedication paid off with a 15kg weight-loss. In a video that has racked up thousands of views, Kitty is seen running with weights, moving with ease and confidence. She describes the change as her 'weight loss transformation,' crediting the daily runs and a focus on meal prepping low-calorie, nutritious dishes for her results.Health experts recommend adults aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week, spread over several days. Kitty's approach works out to 140 minutes weekly, putting her right in the sweet spot for building endurance, boosting metabolism, and improving cardiovascular health.Moderate-intensity activities — like brisk walking or cycling — should leave you breathing faster but still able to hold a conversation. Vigorous-intensity workouts, like fast swimming or singles tennis, will have you breathing hard enough that speaking more than a few words becomes difficult. And for those looking to push even further, short bursts of maximum effort followed by rest, known as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), can amplify results.While Kitty swears by her running routine, experts point out that similar benefits can be achieved through alternatives. A 20-minute brisk walk, stair climbing, or even high-energy dance can get your heart rate up and keep you on track toward fitness goals. The key is consistency.

Transforming confusion into curiosity: Guide for high schoolers navigating their future
Navigating high school uncertainty: Here's how to transform confusion into curiosity for life design (Image: iStock) If you are a high schooler who feels uncertain about the future, here's a way to look at it: confusion is not failure, it is an invitation to explore what excites you and find your values. The pressure to have your 'plan' sorted out by the time you are 17 can make confusion feel like a problem to fix but in reality, it is a natural state at the start of any design process and most students at that age are figuring things out. What if we could be proficient "life designers"? Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, authors of Designing Your Life , put it this way: 'You can't know where you're going until you know where you are.' In their Stanford course, and in the Life Design lab courses at Ashoka University, NID and the ISB, they teach students to be designers. Designers start with curiosity, asking questions and trying things. Life works much the same way. Is the pressure to choose a career path by 17 harmful? Rethinking high school success (Image: iStock) High school is at times a rat race, from choosing a stream of education to marks to future employment. We live in a world today where nothing remains static for long so an antiquated model of education has no place in the modern scheme of things. The need of the hour is not just another topper in academics but a mind shift from confusion to curiosity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo From confused to curious: A high schooler's guide to life design In an interview with TOI, Navyug Mohnot, Life Coach, Educator and a visiting faculty member at the National Institute of Design, suggested, "Instead of demanding that you predict your entire career path, life design invites you to explore the possibilities one step at a time. The question shifts from 'What do I want to do forever?' to 'What can I try next?' These smaller, less intimidating questions create space for experiments — shadowing someone at work, volunteering for a cause, joining a new club. " Psychologist Carol Dweck's research on growth mindset reinforces this: the more you see skills and interests as things that can grow, the more likely you are to explore widely. This mindset shift, from confusion to curiosity, is the foundation for designing a life that is not only successful but meaningful. Are high school students being pressured to have their futures figured out too soon? (Image: iStock) Asserting that curiosity is the only tool one should carry, Mamta Shekhawat, Founder of (a study abroad platform), recommended, "It can be tempting to believe in a world where the career options are endless and opportunities vast that you must have it all figured out by the time school is over — but you do not need to. This is why we encourage students to move beyond the traditional career path and realise that life is not about getting a job but rather discovering your passions, learning new skills and evolving over time. " A global education is essential in this. Once you move out of the local environment, it only shows different cultures, trends and ways of thinking to make your life a new style. The mission should be to take students from confusion to clarity, pressure to purpose and help high schoolers get into the best universities and programs around the world.
