From “Diabetic Capital” to “Fitness Capital” | Chandigarh
Last year being termed as the diabetic capital of nation, Chandigarh’s punjabi foodie crowd we think could not digest the title so here they go, worked out so hard that the city is now known as the “Fitness Capital” of India. The ‘transformation has been tremendous’ and the ‘contrast is for real’. With Pune population’s sixty percent fraction spending around 4 hours a week on fitness, Chandigarh marginally lags behind. The pursuit of Chandigarh people to adopt healthier lifestyle has borne fruitful results and we are more than happy with the title we got.
What more does the next title after “City of Gardens” is required by Chandigarh? A title wherein people use those gardens maybe ! Bahh, you think, they have made it an absolute reality. Hail you all Chandigarhians, run, jog,jump, dance, do whatever you feel like, but keep that “jumping rabbit” inside your bodies alive because you never know, a nice good habit of yours can bring laurels to your city, the way our city beautiful Chandigarh got !!!
