Hrithik Roshan promotes fit and active living

Hrithik Roshan is one actor who has maintained a fit physique despite his various injuries and health issues. He continues to inspire others by overcoming hurdles and making sure he stays in the best possible shape he can. The actor looks super-ripped and fit in the trailers of his upcoming movie 'Bang Bang'. Now, he has taken his fitness lifestyle to another level by partnering up with MTB Himalaya Challenge 2014. This is the world s third toughest mountain bike race and Hrithik along with his brand HRX will promote the message of a fit and active way of life. 'Stay active, stay fit. I always say, pain is fuel for a fitter world,' the actor concludes in the short clip.

How Hrithik stays fit

After his back injury, Hrithik was on bed rest for months and gave into his cravings for muffins, cookies and cigarettes quite often. I was smoking three packs a day. I had been smoking for the last two-and-a-half years now; everything was just going the wrong way. I knew that if I didn t put a stop to it now, it was going to take over my life. That was going to be my downfall. After realising that he could not play a superhero with a waist of 91 cm, Hrithik decided to hire Kris Gethin as his fitness trainer. He wanted to inculcate fitness in his lifestyle and not just get in shape for a particular role. He chose not to opt for crash diets either. I d done that before in my life. I d gotten into the best shape. [Then] I d go back to all the wrong ways, eating chocolates and letting myself go. I knew that this wasn t just getting into shape for a character. This was something I wanted; it had to be a lifestyle change. It had to be something that would last me all my life. (Read: How Hrithik Roshan transformed his body)

And thus began his training with Kris s 12-week Body by Design plan. The results were immediate and dramatic. I look at myself and I am amazed that something like this is possible. It was a twelve-week transformation, but we completed it in ten weeks. I m just amazed at the possibilities of the human body and how easy it was. There was no sacrifice. Everything just flowed. I was loving my meals. They were nutritious as well as tasty. I don t think I can go back to normal (if I can say normal ) kinds of food again, where it s just about taste and not about nutrition.

Hrithik followed the Body by Design plan which consists of three phases. Due to his knee injury and slipped disc, Hrithik did a lot of CrossFit and functional training along with the DTP plan. After 10 gruelling weeks of hard work and dedication, his body was transformed to what it looks today.
