Ranveer Singh's Trainer, Mustafa Ahmed, Shares The Secret Behind His Awe-Inspiring Physical Transformation For Padmaavat

Ranveer trained twice a day for six days a week and was completely off sugar for six months
Regi George Jenarius Updated on Feb 05, 2018, 11:56 IST

Ranveer Singh might be known as on of the most flamboyant actors off screen, but he backs up his bravado with unrelenting hard work behind the camera to literally get into the skin of the characters he plays.?

The most recent transformation Ranveer Singh underwent was to play a beefed-up Alauddin Khiliji and an extremely lean persona in his upcoming films Padmaavat and Gully Boy is proof of just that.?

In fact, last year Ranveer posted an inspiring post of his extreme six-week transformation on Instagram. A physique like his took sticking to his regime despite a hectic schedule, which involved working out late into the night or during wee hours in the morning but not once skipping a workout session.?

Celebrity fitness trainer and co-founder AKRO gym, Mustafa Ahmed, who coached the actor for the physique we got to witness in Padmaavat, revealed some of his secrets in an interview with Vogue.?

On the type of workouts Ranveer performed

Ahmed states that they focused primarily on movement and mobility drills that consisted of strength training and conditioning workouts, which included high intensity interval training (HIIT) using push-ups, burpees and powerful full-body movement like deadlifts and squats. These movements were also done to improve Singh's flexibility as well.?

On Ranveer's training schedule?

Ranveer trained twice a day for six days a week while training for Padmaavat. His morning cardio session would be followed by a mobility drill of 20-25 minutes, which would be then followed by short workout of 40-45 minutes.?

It was his evening session that was more extensive, an hour to an hour an a half, of weight training and heavy weight lifting. Ahmed maintained that Ranveer take a day off every week from his training regime; this would even include a swim if Ranveer insisted on working out.

On Ranveer's diet

One of the first golden rule that Ahmed asked Ranveer to follow was to cut off sugar from his diet. He was off sugar six months during Padmaavat and even from before. Ranveer was only allowed a couple of cheat meals in the week that he could have at any time during the week.?

Ranveer would often have them both in the same day to give himself a complete cheat day and would eat anything he liked, including junk foods and foods laden with sugar.

For the layman Ahmed recommends the basics if you are short on time, want to be able to workout anywhere and are looking lose weight.

The moves: 5-10 basic movements (such as squats, push-ups, planks, pull-ups, free squats and bird dog) for two minutes will help you complete your workout in a 10-20 minute circuit, states Ahmed. He recommends sticking to high intensity interval training (HIIT) like Tabata.??

How to perform them: Perform each move for 20 seconds resting for 10 seconds between them. Doing so will elevate your heart rate giving you quick results.
