`YOU NEED TO LOOK GOOD to feel confident and when you feel good, you work out more' What is your routine?
Diet: I have about six to eight meals a day. A cup of green tea early in the morning.
Breakfast: A banana, two egg whites and brown bread. Lunch: Four rotis, lots of vegetables and two bowls of dal. I do not eat too much non-veg food.
Afternoon snack: A peanut butter sandwich or four egg whites or a boiled egg or egg bhurji. Evening snack: Protein shake before training and four amino acid tablets. Post workout snack: Six egg whites with brown bread and four more tablets of amino acids. Dinner: Tandoori chicken or two rotis and dal.
Exercise: I warm up for about 30 minutes on the treadmill or cycle.
Then I work on two body parts for about 45 minutes, followed by stomach exercises for 20 minutes. Lastly, I take five minutes to cool down. Frequency: Four times a week for 90 minutes How do you stick to your routine on holiday?
I don't feel like I am sticking to it because I like working out. I go for a run if there is no gym and I may do some floor exercises. Also, I love to eat, so I eat what I want in moderate quantities.
How do you stick to your routine when you travel for work?
I find it very easy to exercise on assignments because I am with actors on their shoots. When they train, I train with them.
What do you eat at parties?
At a party, I may indulge a bit in fried food, like a samosa. I also eat butter chicken, mutton, biryani or other dishes with curry.
What is the hardest thing for you to resist?
Definitely eggs and parathas. But I'm lucky that eggs are a major part of my diet already! How do you resist it?
It's all about being in control. I eat a little bit to satisfy my craving. Also, instead of eating fried eggs too often, I eat boiled eggs.
How often do you binge?
I'll be frank I overeat or binge about twice a week! I love Pringles chips and the bhujia sev namkeen.
What do you do the next day?
After bingeing, I drink green tea. It's supposed to dilute oils faster.
When's the last time you ate: Sweet food: I don't like sweet food too much except for kaju ki barfi. I ate that on five days of the Ganpati festival. After that, I made up for it by working out harder.
Deep-fried food: Two weeks ago I had these really yummy keema samosas at a friend's house.
Junk food: I don't like junk food.
One restaurant / dish you always turn to for a healthy meal?
I love to eat Chinese food outside because they have a lot of vegetables. I go to Mainland China or to Royal China in Bandra. I generally go for the Peking Duck. I wouldn't say it's healthy, but it has less oil.
Is fitness about looking good or feeling good?
Both. Looks are important these days. You need to look good to feel confident and when you feel good, you work out more.
What are the most common complaints from clients? What do you advise, and is it based on your own experience?
My clients are generally people who really want to build their bodies and are keen to work out. But there are some who complain that they have a tough time staying away from oily foods and sticking to a good diet regime.
How did you build up the fitness habit?
Exercising is my passion. I first started building my body when I was in school in Nagpur. I was very inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I loved the results I got and decided to set up my own gym one day.
What do you do when you wake up feeling unmotivated?
That never happens. I get irritable when I don't get to work out.
What is your concept of fitness?
Everybody needs to find time to work out no matter how busy they are.
