Fame king Sheeraz Hasan unveils Hollywood.ai and Bollywood.ai at Token2049 in Singapore
Today, of course, every star - male or female - is into body maintenance. Of them, Aamir Khan has the uncanny ability to regulate his weight when a particular 'look' is required for the character he's portraying. Evidence: six packs for Ghajini and the gone-to-seed look for the middle-aged father portrayed in Dangal. That he had to deal with health issues soon after filming Dangal and slog at returning to normal was risky business. This, and the ongoing rampant imitation of gym-toned Bollywood artistes by their fan-base, prompted me to ferret out fitness tips from a cross-section of stars:
. Strictly avoid supplements.
. One hour of workout at the gym. Whenever feasible, run on a beachshore, take off for trekking and brisk walks.
. Prioritise your breakfast. Eggs are a good source of protein.
. Try and get at least seven hours of sleep. Go by the policy of early-to-bed-early-to-rise.
. Eat healthy, hydrate yourself and remember to have a bit of protein if you are working out.
. For overall fitness, yoga is the best.
. Intermittent fasting: Your last meal should be at least four hours before you sleep. It helps in digestion. 12 to 16 hours of this form of fasting is really good for your health.
. Try not to drink water while eating.
. Keep moving. Make sure you walk for at least half an hour to an hour a day, and try to do a bit of stretching.
Ranbir Kapoor
. Engage in a sport - like football - at least twice a week.
. Lift weight intensely for muscle gain and fat loss. Concentration is the key rather than lifting weights for extended durations.
Alia Bhatt
. To prevent dehydration, drink small amounts of water between a workout to boost energy level and stamina.
. Initially difficult but once you're into them, lunges help in toning up legs, and squats strengthen your body.
. Lift weights (after checking with a trainer) for muscle growth.
. A yoga session, twice a week, reduces stress.
. Meditation works wonders for a positive outlook towards life.
