Akshay Kumar is one of the fittest Bollywood stars. He is known to be someone who gives fitness a priority and lives a healthy lifestyle. Trained in martial arts, Akshay is an inspiring figure, and is somebody, who is aging with grace.

But, how he manages to remain fit? Recently, Akshay, who will turn 49 this September, revealed his mantra of staying in shape. His active lifestyle and healthy living habits never let you realise that he is reaching the quinquagenary.

Akshay revealed that he hates night shifts. He likes going to bed as early as 9 pm, and unlike most of us he has his dinner at 7 pm. “I love my sleep and I love to see the mornings,” Akshay said. “People who invite me to a party know that I will leave early because I have to be in bed. And let me tell you, I hate night shifts,”

The Khiladi Kumar revealed that he doesn’t do weight training. The actor rather concentrates on body weight exercises, while mixing them with shadow-boxing and kick-boxing. “Take out at least one hour every day to exercise, in any form,” Akshay advised. “If you can’t exercise, just go for a walk for an hour.”

Akshay had also pointed out the importance of having right food at the right time. He added that he likes to have home-cooked food. “If you feel hungry after 7 pm, eat an egg white omelette or soup or something that is easy to digest,” Akshay suggested. “If I have to go out for dinner, I only eat proteins and try to avoid carbs.”

So, the secret has been revealed. And the best par is, it’s not difficult to follow.
