Even as Bollywood heart-throb Ranbir Kapoor is awaiting the release of his film Shamshera, he has two interesting films lined up, including Luv Ranjan’s untitled next, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. In an exclusive chat with his Trainer, Celebrity Fitness Coach Shivoham, Ranbir talks about how he is training for his upcoming projects, his workout regime and the importance of fitness and time in his personal and work life.
With his personal coach, the actor has a particular training routine and follows a strict diet as he needs to get lean for one film and then bulk up for the next one. About his transformation for his next projects, Ranbir added,“I am doing a Rom-Com now, so the demand was to look lean, fit and not have a muscular body, have a lean face and toned body. Then we are doing our second film together, which is Animal, and of course there is a younger version of character where I will be same, then version of character which is muscular so we will take a couple of months to build muscles and I think that’s going to be very challenging for me after Sanju this will be second time I am doing this so I am really looking forward to that journey with you as well.”
About his journey with Shivoham, Ranbir said “It’s really been quite a lifestyle change for me in terms of fitness and inculcating functional training, mixing with weights, doing a lot of ring work, German volume. Understanding diet better. As I’m getting older, you know, to lose fat gets a little tougher. I think you’ve really helped me understand my body better in terms of diet and fitness. But what I’ve really enjoyed working with you is the surprise element. The workouts are never boring, otherwise the gym is such a boring place to be at. And now, just coming to the gym and improvising with different kinds of workouts, I think that’s really awesome.”
Celebrity fitness coach and trainer, Shivoham aka Dheepesh Bhatt started his entrepreneurial journey when he founded India’s first CrossFit box in 2009. Since then, he has gone on to train celebrities like Aamir Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, and Abhishek Bachchan. He has been training Ranbir for past one and a half years now and says he is the most diligent and disciplined person to work with.
