Going to the gym is a must for me
... says actor Karanvir Bohra as he shares his fitness mantras
MY EXERCISE REGIME
I workout everyday before my shoots as well as after pack-up.My mornings start at around six with cardio and generally,I do my weight-training at 10 in the night,after pack-up.I tend to workout for around half-anhour to 45 minutes,both in the morning and night.I have kept a good balance of cardio and weight-training.I dont want to get too big and so,I have to be careful with my workouts.Though I dont get much time for sports,I love playing cricket and football whenever I get a chance.
MY FITNESS MANTRA:
Theres no substitute for hard work
MY PROBLEM AREAS
I actually dont have a tendency to put on weight.I dont put on muscle easily.In fact,if it takes another person one month to accomplish something through their fitness routine,it will probably take me six months to accomplish the same.I have to work harder to accomplish anything whether its in fitness or in life.But there are no regrets as it is in my blood to work like a beast!
MY STRENGTHS
My dad has a good frame,which I have inherited.I am proud of my chest and shoulder and I dont have to work hard on it.In fact,I probably work out on my chest just once a month.I am definitely into fitness as its important to be healthy and fit.For me,going to the gym is like going to the office.Its a must!
MY DIET
I am a vegetarian,though I do include eggs in my diet.I eat every two hours and my diet is a mix of carbohydrates and proteins.I tend to get hungry very often as I eat small portions.I usually prefer carrying my food from home,but in case I havent,I will have a small sandwich or something light.Being a Marwari and that too,from Jodhpur,is a crime when it comes to sweets as we have grown up eating sweets.My favourite is Mawe Ke Barfi,which can be eaten hot,cold,mashed with ice,and in various forms!
MY FAVOURITE IDOL MALE:
Robert Downey Jr and Hugh Jackman from Hollywood and Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan.These actors have always remained fit.Fitness is not a temporary lifestyle for them.
MY FAVOURITE IDOL FEMALE:
My wife,Teejay Sidhu.She always looks completely in shape without having to work out.
