Mental fitness is more important: Sidd Makkar

My workout regime…
My favourite part of working out is running outdoors; that is the only cardio I do and I don't believe in doing other kind of cardio exercises. I work out five days a week for one hour each day. I do some weights as well and I occasionally do some yoga and play tennis.

My daily diet…
I take normal food and I don't follow any pattern as such. I take four to five small meals everyday and it mostly includes Dal, sabzi, rotis, chicken, fish and so on. I do not take any protein supplements in my diet. My shoot timings are bizarre and it is difficult to stick to a pattern. Anyways I am quite relaxed as far as my diet is concerned and I would be strict, only if it is required and not otherwise.

On a rainy day, my idea of a workout would be...
I would go running in the rain; it does not mean that I will never skip my workout; I will and it depends on my mood especially if I have had a long tiring day. I would make sure to take two days off from my workout every week.

My idea of relaxation...
Staying away from your cell phone, watching a great movie, going out of town with my wife and it is very relaxing to just laze around at home.

Size zero to you is...
I don't know, it is bizarre. It is not at all attractive and makes no sense to me.

I crave for...
I have a sweet tooth and once in while I crave for brownies and chocolates. I also crave to play sports more often.

/> My happiness quotient…
'Live and let live'; everything has to be in moderation and that is the key to a happy lifestyle. I don't like to overdo, be it anything. I don't believe in working out vigorously for very long hours unless it is a profession and requires you to. One must enjoy the work out and being fit is more inside than outside. If a person looks fit outside, it is not necessary that he is. It is more important to be mentally fit than being physically fit.

A lifestyle change I'm trying to make...
I want be a little more organized as far as my work schedule is concerned. I want to be well planned and adjust my shoot schedules to suit my sleep pattern. Of course it has become a lot better but it is not enough.
