There are moments in sport that stay with you forever.
Every sacrifice, every setback, every practice session, every cheer from the stands- it all led to that unforgettable night.
Proud to have shared it with an incredible group of people and to have experienced it with millions of Indians around the world.
Thank you for making us feel your love before, during and long after that final. June 29, 2024. Celebrating you forever тЩ╛я╕П
In 2020, at the age of 39, I started my fitness journey (Post Covid) with a simple goalтАФto become healthier and fitter.
Like many people, I began with enthusiasm, but consistency was difficult. Professional commitments, family responsibilities, and life's uncertainties often interrupted my routine. Eventually, I underwent surgery (2024), which forced me to stop training for a significant period.
June 2025 marked the beginning of a completely new chapter. This time, I wasn't chasing quick weight loss or temporary motivation. I committed myself to consistency, patience, and discipline. My philosophy became simple: Train smart. Eat smart. Sleep well. Repeat every single day.
I followed a structured plan rather than random workouts or crash diets.
Training:
тАв Strength training 5тАУ6 days per week.
тАв Progressive overload to preserve and build muscle.
тАв Cardio as a supplementтАФnot as punishment.
тАв Daily walking and maintaining an active lifestyle.
тАв Focus on recovery and mobility.
Nutrition:
тАв High-protein diet. Homemade food.
тАв Calorie tracking.
тАв Lean protein sources.
тАв Complex carbohydrates.
тАв Healthy fats.
тАв Plenty of vegetables and fruits.
тАв Proper hydration.
Lifestyle:
тАв 6-7 hours of quality sleep.
тАв Minimal processed food.
тАв Limited sugar intake.
тАв Regular monitoring of body weight.
тАв Regular blood investigations.
On 1 January 2026, I set myself a meaningful target. I wanted to achieve my best physique before my daughter VedikaтАЩs birthday (27th June). My wife Rudrani made sure that I could achieve my goal. Having a clear deadline made every decision easier. Every workout mattered. Every meal mattered. Every morning weigh-in mattered. Instead of searching for shortcuts, I focused on executing the basics consistently.
The Physical Transformation:
тАв Weight reduced significantly.
тАв Body fat dropped to single digits. From >30% to тАШsingle digitтАЩ
тАв Muscle definition improved.
тАв Strength was maintained.
тАв Energy levels increased
However, the biggest transformation was still to come; The Blood Report: Between September 2025 and May 2026, my lipid profile changed dramatically.
Sep 2025. May 2026
Total Cholesterol 278. 158 тЬЕ
LDL. 205.2. 83 тЬЕ
HDL 51. 62.8 тЬЕ
Triglycerides. 109. 61.9 тЬЕ
Health Improvements:
Total Cholesterol тЖУ 43%
LDL тЖУ 60%
HDL тЖС 23%
Triglycerides тЖУ 43%
TC/HDL Ratio: 5.45 тЖТ 2.52
LDL/HDL Ratio: 4.02 тЖТ 1.32
These results indicate a substantially lower cardiovascular risk. Better metabolic health. Improved cholesterol balance. Better long-term health prospects. Evidence that lifestyle changes can produce measurable improvements.
Some important lessons from my journey are:
тАв Start, even if you cannot be perfect.
тАв Focus on habits rather than motivation.
тАв Train for health first and appearance second.
тАв Measure progress using blood reports, not just body weight.
тАв Recovery is as important as training.
тАв Sustainable nutrition always beats crash diets.
тАв Small daily improvements create extraordinary long-term results.
If I had to advise someone beginning, I would recommend:
тАв Get a complete health check-up before starting.
тАв Set a realistic and meaningful goal.
тАв Prioritize strength training.
тАв Eat enough protein every day.
тАв Walk daily and stay physically active.
тАв Sleep at least 6-8 hours.
тАв Track your progress with body weight, waist measurements, photos, and blood reports.
тАв Be patientтАФlasting results take months, not weeks.
Looking back, I don't consider losing weight my biggest achievement. The greatest achievement is becoming healthier at 45 than I was at 39. This journey taught me that discipline is more powerful than motivation, consistency is more valuable than perfection, and health is the greatest investment we can make.
