Happy birthday, Vicky Kaushal! Revealing the dreamboat's fitness secrets
What's the story
The Uri lead turns 35! With charming looks and impeccable talent, Vicky Kaushal is hands down a complete package that makes him a director's actor. Besides his strong onscreen performance that smashes box office records, the star is also the talk of the tabloids for his chiseled physique that most of us can only dream of. On his birthday, let's know his fitness secrets.
Fitness
Kaushal trains hard for each character he plays
Despite spending prolonged hours on the sets, Kaushal manages to find time for his fitness. And as per reports, his workout is intense and not for the faint-hearted. He regularly runs on a treadmill for 15 to 20 minutes which helps him kick-start his system and gear up for the main exercises. For every role he dons, he trains differently.
Exercises
He swears by his morning routine
Wondering where he gets those teasing six-pack abs from? Well, he makes them at the gym! Per reports, the actor swears by his morning routine which is to never miss a day at the gym and do a combination of different workouts. He begins with cardio and then indulges in heavy deadlifts, sit-ups, bench presses, battle rope training, pull-ups, and so much more.
Variations
The actor likes to mix and match different workout styles
Variation is one important thing that helps Kaushal stay loyal to his fitness regimen. To break the monotony, the Raazi actor performs a host of workouts like swimming, running, yoga, dancing, aerobics, and Brazilian martial arts called ginga capoeira, along with regular cardio and weight lifting. This way, he doesn't get bored of his fitness sessions.
Diet
The 'Sardar Udham' star focuses on healthy eating
Although a big foodie at heart, eating right and healthy is a must for Kaushal as it keeps him in fine fettle. All his meals, right from their conceptualization to preparation, are done by Neat Meals Company founded by Akshay Arora. During an interview, Arora revealed that the actor consumes 3500 calories a day, of which 20% is protein and 40-50% is carbs.
Cheat Day
Do you know Kaushal's favorite cheat meal?
Just like anyone else, Kaushal also has sudden food cravings and a fine share of cheat days too. Arora also revealed during the same interview that the Masaan actor prefers eating vegetarian food on Tuesdays and his cheat meal is his mother's aloo paratha that he thoroughly enjoys as breakfast on the same day.
