83-year-old Amitabh Bachchan’s 26-year old fitness mantra: ‘Routine matters’
Amitabh Bachchan’s fitness journey holds a simple lesson for healthy ageing
Celebrity fitness coach Shivohaam recently detailed 83-year-old Amitabh Bachchan’s commitment to staying fit. Talking about his wife and celebrity coach Vrinda Grover’s association with the actor for 26 years, Shivohaam told podcaster Pankaj Sharma, “Vrinda has been with Mr Bachchan for almost 26 years. She has trained him physically, and now she does yoga with him. He has done the same routine for the past 26 years, which Vrinda taught him. Nothing much has changed. Some tweaks for leg strength. Same warm-up, same order of the machines, every single time for the last 26 years. If that is not routine, if that is not magic, if that is not a quality, then I don’t know what it is. Learn from him. There is a reason he is who he is. His way of approaching things to this day… we can see it. Routine matters. That’s what’s inspiring about him.”
