A complete fitness freak, Hussain discloses his fitness and diet secrets to Shaaditimes.
Fitness freak
I am very particular about my workout routine and I take care that I am regular with it. If I don't workout, I feel that my day is incomplete.
Exercise and fitness are very important to me and I feel that it is extremely important to keep yourself fit and healthy. Also, being in the television industry, where looks do matter, its even more necessary for me to be fit and in shape.
Workout timetable
I workout, probably in the gym, four times a week for one and a half hour. My day starts at 6:30 in the morning, irrespective of the time I sleep at night. I take care that my workout routine is wisely planned. Generally my workout comprises cardio exercises and muscle training wherein I focus on one body part at a time, like shoulder and triceps on the first day, back and legs on the second day, triceps and chest on the third day and only cardio(which is for the whole body) on the last day. Apart from that I try and do cardio exercises everyday.
No Excuses
If I am shooting outdoors, then I try and hit the hotel gym or do some free hand exercises. Also, being in such a demanding profession, sometimes my hectic schedule doesn't allow me to exercise. If that is the case, then I don't binge and eat carefully.
DIET WISE
Hussain's daily diet:
I drink lots of juices and lots of water during the day.
Breakfast:
A spoon of chawanprash and honey along with bananas and milk, or may be banana milk shake or protein shake.
Mid morning:
Fresh fruits or fruit juices.
Lunch:
A bowl of chicken, rotis, salad and a bowl of mixed or plain vegetable. I avoid rice as much as I can.
Evenings:
A healthy snack or may be some fruits/fresh fruit juice.
Dinner:
Dinner again has lots of chicken or may be something from the tandoor with rotis and a helping of vegetable. I also relish prawns and fish.
