Happy birthday, Pulkit Samrat! Revealing secrets behind his chiseled body
In the current Bollywood business, where physical fitness is often considered as crucial as acting prowess, Pulkit Samrat stands out as a testament to the power of dedication and a disciplined lifestyle. Beyond the silver screen, Samrat has become an inspiration for many through his commitment to fitness and health. As he turns 40 years old today, here's looking at his fitness routine.
Samrat follows a mixed workout
Pulkit Samrat works out using a mix of functional training, cardio, and strength training. For him, it's important to work out six days a week and reserve one day off for recovery. His workout includes lunges, deadlifts, squats, bench presses, push-ups and pull-ups. He also uses plyometric workouts and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to maintain an elevated heart rate and burn additional calories.
The actor emphasizes listening to the body
"I workout till I drop"- that was his answer when he was asked how long he works out. Samrat doesn't follow a fixed number of hours for workouts. Instead, he works out till his body asks him to stop. Despite the hours he put in the workout, the most significant for him is to hit that "one extra set" by the end of it.

He makes sure to eat clean
The Fukrey actor always makes it a point to eat clean and well-balanced meals. Samrat eats a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats. He stays hydrated by drinking a lot of water and stays away from processed meals, sugar, and alcohol. To maintain an active metabolism, he also practices eating small, frequent meals throughout the day.
Samrat makes his routine engaging
According to Samrat, one of the main challenges in maintaining a physique is when your body sometimes does not respond to your workout or becomes stagnant. When a consistent workout does not yield results, he throws in a challenge, changes his regimen, and shuffles things around. He believes this will help the body respond in your fitness journey. His advice is to be patient.
