Veteran actor Anil Kapoor has always been acknowledged for his energy and youthful vibe. Even following his decades long in Indian cinema, the actor continues to surprise everyone with his fitness and fresh looks.
As the turned 69 on December 24, his fitness routine is once again in the spotlight. The secret is not magic or shortcuts. It is discipline, consistency and a lifestyle he has followed for decades.
Anil Kapoor enjoys running and treats it as a serious part of his routine. In 2020, the actor shared a video of himself sprinting by the beach. It wasn’t merely a workout clip, but also a reminder of his mindset.
In the midst of the lockdown he was dreaming about the beach…dreaming of escaping…finally he could get to the beach and his trainer makes him sprint…fitness always comes first…It’s not about the location but about the dedication,” he wrote in the caption.
Cardio is important to him, but Anil Kapoor does not stop there. Weight training is a big part of his fitness routine. He often shares gym videos that show his workout sessions. In one such clip, he was seen pushing himself during leg day.
The actor’s routine included exercises like leg curls, prime leg curl, and weighted lunges with a cable row. These workouts help build strength and support overall body balance.
Along with workouts, Anil pays close attention to what he eats. He strongly believes that food plays a bigger role than exercise. In an Instagram video shared in July 2022, the actor spoke about his food philosophy.
“Food is not for taste, but it’s for you to build your strength and stamina. You consume as much as you need for your body as well as for your mental and physical strength.
Anil Kapoor’s fitness also comes from the choices he makes every day. The actor doesn’t smoke or drink. In 2024, amidst the launch of
Dr Shiv K Sarin’s book Own Your Body: A Doctor’s Life-saving Tips in New Delhi, his daughter Sonam Kapoor spoke about his disciplined habits. She also credited her mother, Sunita Kapoor, for keeping him on track.
Adding that her mother, who has been very, very healthy from the very beginning, her dad would love to indulge sometimes, but mother kind of controls him like a very good Indian wife.
Meanwhile, Anil Kapoor’s journey shows that staying fit does not need fancy tricks, but just needs consistency and dedication.
