Actor Amit Tandon shares his fitness mantra.
My exercise regime
Exercise and fitness training has been a big part of my life since childhood. I started off with sports such as basketball, American football, amateur boxing and wrestling. Now keep fit by doing cardio and martial arts along with boxing. I love weight training and train with heavy weights to push my muscle growth to new limits.
My diet
Being a hardcore and true blood Punjabi, food is in my blood and sadly I don't just have one sweet tooth but all sweet teeth! But as they say, you are what you eat, so I control my diet with complex carbs and a high protein intake. I try and restrict my carb intake post 6 pm and usually take a protein shake two hours prior to bedtime. Whenever I do cheat though, I make sure to workout harder in the gym to burn it off.
My problem areas
I don't have as such any problem areas but due to my desire for sweet things in life, if my cardio is not up to the mark I put on lots of weight. So I keep cardio high to keep myself lean.
My strengths
When people look me in the gym, it's my ability to lift heavy weights, which usually gets noticed. Along with that I have a hard work ethic and a never-give-up mentality. Just when I feel like I should stop, I push myself to do a little bit more.
My fitness idol
My role models are anyone who push themselves to new fitness limits without the use of anabolic steroids. Anyone who lives fitness as a lifestyle is a role model for me. When I see that 55-60 year-old-men in the gym still lifting weights and pushing themselves to new limits, they automatically becomes my role model.
My fav celeb body - male
Salman Khan has been fit for over 20 years in the industry and most of us began lifting weights after seeing his physique. He is one of my favourites only because of his ability to do it for so long!
My fav celeb body - female
I believe a woman with curves is most beautiful to look at and size zero women just don't cut it. So, if I were to pick one celeb body, it would be Kim Kardashian even though my wife will kill me for saying that!
