Working out in groups is a safe and inexpensive intervention that can be delivered easily and successfully in the community, as per the researchers.

While exercising in groups can be helpful, your eating habits may also help in cutting down on extra kilos and keep you healthy. Here are some dietary tweaks that you should include.
