He also performs Zone 2 training to stay fit
During an interview with Hindustan Times, Babu's trainer Minash Gabriel revealed that the actor is "aging backward" and follows a cardio routine "that involves anaerobic variants and most importantly Zone 2 training." For the uninitiated, Zone 2 training strengthens cardiovascular health. It involves exercising at an intensity that stimulates your cells' adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP fuels and restores the cells with oxygen and energy.
