- Rahul Gandhi emphasizes persistence over routine in maintaining fitness
- He practices martial arts, swimming, running, and recently started yoga
- Fitness is integrated into his workday, not treated as free time
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently shared his fitness secret. During an AMA session, he was asked, "Hey Rahul, what's your fitness routine?"
Responding to the question, Rahul said, "The thing about fitness that's important is not really the routine you follow. It's being persistent, doing it continuously, and allowing it to compound."
The 56-year-old politician added, "Generally, I do a little bit of martial arts, which I like. I do a little bit of swimming and running. These days, I've also started yoga, which is quite interesting. It is part of my work life to spend one hour building strength, aerobic capacity, and flexibility. So, it's not something I do in my free time. It's something that I make time for, regardless of what happens. If I have to do it at 11 pm, I'll do it at 11 pm."
Offering a word of caution, he said, "If you are eating badly, drinking a lot of alcohol, or snacking all the time, then forget all this fitness stuff, don't bother with it, because it doesn't work. It only works if you look at it as a whole, if you're thinking about it as a balance."
