Since the explosive release of the teaser for Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan’s highly anticipated film Fighter, the internet is buzzing with excitement. Apart from the scintillating chemistry between the lead pair, what’s truly setting fans on fire is Hrithik’s unbelievably chiseled physique, a feat that’s nothing short of extraordinary at the age of 50.
This radical transformation contrasts starkly with his bulkier appearance in Vikram Vedha and the less muscular avatar in Super 30. Fans and fitness buffs alike are now left pondering: What’s the secret recipe behind this jaw-dropping metamorphosis? In this article, we unravel it all—covering intense workouts, tailored diets, and every intriguing aspect contributing to his exceptional journey.
Hrithik Roshan incorporated a combination of cardio and functional workouts into his fitness routine
In a recent interview with India Today, Hrithik Roshan‘s fitness trainer Kris Gethin delved into the demanding regimen that fueled the actor’s transformation for the film Fighter. The trainer revealed that Hrithik’s cardio routine included sessions once or twice a day, tailored to the specific phase of his transformation journey. Activities ranged from running, elliptical training, and swimming, to workouts on the StairMaster Rower.
Moreover, the fitness routine embraced functional exercises such as boxing, kettlebell workouts, battle ropes, and plyometrics, ensuring a holistic approach to achieve the desired results. Notably, the actor maintained a disciplined bedtime, going to sleep by 9 pm, a practice acknowledged as challenging for many Indians, as pointed out by the trainer.
Hrithik Roshan stuck to a dull and flavorless diet
Kris also detailed the actor’s dietary regimen during the preparation for his role in the film. The Dhoom 2 actor adhered to a bodybuilding-style diet, consuming approximately six to seven meals each day. The diet primarily consisted of single-form ingredients such as chicken, egg whites, whey protein, fish, along with sources of complex carbohydrates like oats, quinoa, rice, and sweet potato.
In instances where consuming solid foods posed a challenge, the actor would opt for shakes, but the emphasis remained on whole foods. Though the diet might sound a bit monotonous, Hrithik’s chef Shubham Vishwakarma infused creativity by crafting dishes like an egg white burger with chicken breast, where the bun was ingeniously replaced with fluffy egg whites. This innovative touch added an Indianized flavor to the otherwise simple fare.
