Nagarjuna's workout routine

Nagarjuna's fitness journey is nothing short of inspiring. The actor revealed that he exercises five to six days a week and dedicates an hour each morning to a balanced workout that combines weight training and cardio. Additionally, he emphasises the importance of engaging in enjoyable physical activities like swimming and golf to maintain both physical fitness and mental well-being.

“It is a mix of cardio and strength training. I have been doing this for the last 30-35 years, so it is more about consistency. I stay active throughout the day; if I do not go to the gym, I go for a walk or swim,” Nagarjuna revealed during the interview with HT Lifestyle.

The actor’s approach to fitness highlights the value of consistency over quick fixes. While many find it easy to skip a workout, Nagarjuna’s commitment remains steadfast. For him, exercise is not just about aesthetics; it’s a way of life. “I would rather not work than not exercise. Working out is my first priority as soon as I wake up. I work out definitely for five days a week, if possible, six days. I work out for about an hour in the morning, around 45 minutes to one hour. But it is very intense, not something that is easy-paced,” he shared.

Nagarjuna’s top fitness tip

The star also offered practical advice for those looking to elevate their fitness game. Highlighting a tip from a trainer, he said, “One trick a trainer taught me quite some time ago: be it cardio or strength training, keep your heartbeat above 70 percent of your maximum rate at all times.”

He elaborated on the importance of minimising breaks during workouts, advising against distractions like phones and prolonged rest. "Just concentrate and make sure your heartbeat is above a certain level, and that would keep your metabolism high throughout the day," he added. According to him, the key to a healthy body is a blend of regular exercise, proper hydration, sufficient sleep, and dedication.

The Big Boss Telugu host's advice for maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle is simple yet effective. "The (fitness) mantra I believe in is consistency. Just give your body one hour to 45 minutes every day. That should be enough to take care of it. And don't forget to sleep (enough) and hydrate," he concluded.
