Akshay Kumars secrets to diet & fitness success
Maintain a discipline!
Most folks end up falling short of their goals due to a lack of discipline and commitment to their fitness routines. It’s not easy to stay on track, day in and day out, but somehow Akki manages to do just that. It’s okay to miss a day or two of workouts once in a while, but what’s more important is to not beat yourself over it. Hold yourself accountable to your goals, but don’t berate yourself. That’s the secret to developing a sense of bulletproof discipline in your life.
Akshay Kumar follows a strict sleep schedule
One of the biggest mistakes made by fitness aficionados is working out without taking adequate rest. When you exercise, your muscles develop microscopic tears that need to heal in order for you to get stronger. And when does it heal? It heals when we’re at rest, or asleep. This is why Akshay has consistently followed a strict sleep schedule for several years. He wakes up before sunrise, at around 5:30 AM, and has his last meal for the day before sunset, before retiring for the day by 9 PM.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine
Akshay Kumar earlier made it to the headlines when he talked about protein powders, incorrectly conflating them with steroids and PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). However, Akshay’s intention has always been to promote a toxin-free lifestyle to keep his body running smoothly despite turning 55. In order to achieve this, he avoids the following vices – alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine.
Try not to eat post 6:30 pm or 7:00 pm and if you do, have light snacks and avoid late night meals
Akshay Kumar once revealed that he tries not to eat post 6:30 in the evening. But if he does, he eats light snacks, or fruits. While talking about it, he also said how “late night meals” are very harmful for your body. It can always cause trouble to your body. He also talked about how your food requires at least 3-4 hours of digestion and so if you have anything post 8, your food won’t be digested because physical activities are less at that time. Your stomach needs to rest too.
