FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need a Gada-Mudgar before joining?

You need a gada or mudgar — but not a Tagda Raho one. Any brand, any weight works. We teach the format, not the product. Days 1 and 2 need no equipment at all, so you can start tonight and pick one up before Day 3.

What happens if I don't own a Gada-Mudgar?

Start anyway. Days 1 and 2 are stance, grip and bodyweight. Rishabh tells you the right weight on your orientation call, and you can pick one from the Tagda Raho Gada-Mudgar collection before Day 3.

How does the 21-day schedule work?

Three weeks, one session unlocking each morning in order — so you finish the programme instead of bingeing it. Week 1 is 3 rounds per session, Weeks 2 and 3 move to 3–4 rounds and add timed work and supersets. One-minute break between rounds, no breaks between exercises within a round. Around 20 minutes a day.

Are there recovery days?

No rest days — three yoga recovery workshops with Gowri on days 7, 14 and 20, placed where the load peaks. You still show up; you just move differently.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. The next session still unlocks and your completed days stay with you. Pick up where you left off and carry on in order — the weeks build on each other.

Do I get written lesson material?

Yes. Each day pairs a video session with written material covering the day's movements and cues, so you can revisit them separately from the video.

What do I get for completing all 21 days?

Two things unlock at 100% completion: an additional discount on a Tagda Raho equipment upgrade, and free access to Tagda Raho events — Prahaar sessions, and Flow sessions with the founder at our Bangalore and Pune centres. The steps for claiming both are shared during the challenge.
