Ganesh Acharya Weight Loss WORKOUT
The journey of losing 98kg of weight was difficult and slow initially but once Acharya kicked off the process, it got easier. He said, “Itna mushkil nahi hai khud ko takleef dena (it’s not so hard to be tough on yourself).” It took him around first two months to adjust to the workout. His trainer suggested him to start with some low impact fitness routine as he was quite heavy to do any sort of exercise. So Ganesh Acharya weight loss story started with ‘swimming.’
“It took me 15 days to learn how to float. Slowly, my trainer Ajay Naidu made me do crunches in water. Now, I can execute 11 exercises (like scissors and lateral raises etc.) in succession over a 75-minute routine. It’s exhausting,” says Acharya in one his interviews. After a swimming session, he instantly heads to the gym to train with weights. He said, “I could barely work with dumbbells of five pounds initially. Now, I train with 15 kilos.”
