It is no secret anymore that Akshay Kumar is not only of the most athletic but also one of the fittest actors in the Hindi film industry, and perhaps overall. At 57, Kumar looks like he hasn’t aged one bit and continues to serve fitness goals to one and all who follow him.
However, what is it like to have a fitness routine like that of Kumar’s. While his knack of ‘early to bed and early to rise’ is widely known and also how he doesn’t eat after the sun drops, here’s have a closer look at his fitness routine that surely serves as an inspiration for everyone.
– Kumar is known to start his day early, at about 4:30 or 5:00 am, which he even follows during promotions. Self-admittedly, he loves watching and feeling the sun rise.
– Interestingly, his workout regime depends on the weather. He has mentioned how and when it’s summer, he tries to do a lot of pool-based and mainly water-based exercises which includes kicking, punching and practicing basic martial arts. That changes in the winters, when he has a custom-made gym which is parkour-styled and allows him to be athletic.
– Kumar doesn’t extend his workout timings for more than an hour or hour-and-a-half.
– Post waking up, he might go for a quick run, and then do some cardiovascular exercises along with b playing sports whenever he can.
– He is also a firm believer in yoga and meditation which helps him in mental calmness.
– He has also been vocal about how he eats everything but in moderation. His breakfast might include parathas with homemade ghee and a glass of milk or lassi.
– In several interviews, Kumar has opened up on how his foods barely have masala and is mostly high in nutrients like protein and good fats.
– Unlike many out there, Kumar doesn’t believe in protein shakes or chemical protein and instead chooses to keep it natural. Nuts, fruits, smoothies with mixed seeds is usually on his platter.
– Kumar continues to work based on his shoot schedule and wraps up his day till evening.
– Another important part of his workout and lifestyle is his sleep which he makes sure to have enough of every night.
Kumar has a packed lineup ahead in the form of Housefull 5, Welcome to the Jungle, SkyForce and more.
