Belly to Beast. What was the key element to his transformation?

If a normal diet plan doesn’t work for your skinny-fat genetics do you think any random workout program you pulled off the internet will?

You may have tried many routines and exercise programs in the past but did you get the results you wanted? Probably not.

There are a million workout routines out there. Most designed in the West and for Western body types and genetics.

Did you ever consider that maybe these programs were never designed to be used by you?

Remember, as South Asians, we are built differently.

Our training strategy should reflect this.

Mainstream Fitness Advice Will Not Work For South Asians/Indians Part 3: Nutrition Plan (Phase 1)

Actor vs Farmer, Two Very Different Lives, Similar Results. How?

Why are villagers and labourers in India often leaner and healthier looking than the people living in cities and towns?1https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/sep/30/india-urban-migration-good-or-bad-health Why do they not only look better(less fat around the abdomen) but also show less prevalence of chronic disease as they get older?

Have you ever seen a fat lion in the wild? Or an obese buffalo? They eat their natural diet but do not become overweight. Why then do Indians who live in cities eating their (mostly) “natural” diet then show signs of obesity?

The difference between these scenarios is that two of these groups have a diet that is in harmony with their lifestyle. One does not. Us.

And unless you have the resources of a Bollywood star, something has to change.

This is a sample workout from my South Asian Strong Coaching Program. I believe form follows function, and if you can achieve certain movements with grace and ease your body/physique will reflect that reality. This is an advanced version of a workout that can easily be scaled up or down for your experience level and access to equipment(can be made bodyweight with similar results). • • • Don’t forget to have a little fun ;) #southasianstrong #bodytransformation #weightlifting #gymnastics #dance #muscleup #chesttobar #southasian #fitnessindia #vancouverfitness #torontofitness #fitindia #fitindian #indiabodybuilding #powerliftingindia #bodybuildingindia #indianfitness #fitnessindia #bollywoodfitness #bollywoodworkout
