IMAGE: She has a BA honours in history. But she finds joy in educating people about the importance of fitness.

IMAGE: A few years ago, Radhika who loves to travel happened to post a picture of her doing yoga near Humayun's Tomb on Instagram. The picture became viral within days, prompting her to turn her passion into a full-time profession.

IMAGE: She often exercises on the go. 
'I loved fitness, but I had no intention of giving gyaan about it. I wanted to be a travel blogger instead. It cost me nothing to blog about fitness. No special clothing. I wore my old jockey leggings and a sports bra that was probably six years old. I did not need a special place; I did yoga at home. I didn't have the money to spend on clothes or make up. I only needed the intention to give it all to my mat and some YouTube videos for help,' she says.

IMAGE: The beach lover is proud of her curves and scars. 'Yes I am a bikini queen. No! I am not ashamed of flaunting my body,' she declares.

IMAGE: After practicing for a decade, she perfected the asanas. Radhika teaches yoga along with alternate forms of workout.
She also offers a word of caution: 'What suits me, may not suit you. So please don't follow blindly.'

IMAGE: She shares workouts that last between five and 30 minutes. 
One of her popular five minute ab workout features the following:
1. 30 sec hold side planks (on each side)
2. 1 min leg lifts
3. 1 min crunches
4. 1 min heel touches
5. 1 min reverse crunchs
