Building Momentum

As winter traces its steps back, the chill factor receding, we took one more step forward this morning with this program! The student feedback has been overwhelming to our online survey (Link1, Link2). The facebook posting showed ex-kgpians expressing their desire to join us in the morning exercise when they hit Kharagpur again.

That the momentum is building can be found from how students are coming forward, how they are trying to reach out to each other, with tips that can improve health and fitness. Here is an excerpt of mail received by us.

My name is --- (Group leader --- NSO Health and Fitness). Today when I was browsing on net about health and fitness, I got very nice videos in youtube which are very helpful for all students. These are some basic exercises which can be done right from our rooms only. There are total 20 videos in this link...If you think these are useful and if it is possible mail this link (youtube link) to all the students. 
Thank You.

This mail led us to think why should we not have our own youtube channel. This may have an extra dimension. While the previous one was individual sessions by a trainer, ours is a work out in group. This may inspire people, specially youngsters - near and far, to get going when they see young iitians are there on field before sunrise braving winter chill. And thus the momentum can build beyond the confines of this program.

Please find below one youtube upload of today's one ten minutes segment. There is an issue with google profile of 'IITKGP NSO' which we want after organization and not individual. Till that is sorted out, the video is held temporarily in other location. Yes, we are lending space from our big competitor friend 'IITKGP NSS' (Link) who we shall outshine soon :-) if we keep up with this momentum and tempo!
