One of the few positive things about a pandemic is call timings – when you are available and when your loved ones are – line up more easily. For Chetali Sachin Patil, who has been trying for a few years to get back to her lean physique, the quick WhatsApp back and forth that began for news of illness and state of home country turned to conversations about fitness.
The 34-year-old Indian says, “In March when the pandemic started, the women in my family decided now we have some time to stay home, let’s focus all together to work out. So we made a group, separate WhatsApp group [with just us] and started helping each other out.”
