Himesh Reshammiya is ‘full on motivated’ to get back into ‘ripped mode’; watch video

Bollywood playback singer and composer Himesh Reshammiya is determined to return to "ripped mode" after the success of Gunmaaster G9 and Ye Prem Mol Liya, according to a post on his Instagram account. The post features a glimpse of his gym workout routine, which includes weightlifting and strength training, alongside his wife, Sonia Kapoor.

In a caption, Reshammiya expressed his motivation, stating: "Full on motivated from today to get back into super shape. New mindset, new mission to make super music, super films and get back into ripped mode."

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Anoop Dhamangaonkar, from S.L. Raheja Hospital - A Fortis Associate, commented on the video, highlighting the importance of proper exercises for maintaining muscle and bone health. Strength training can help build muscle strength, bone density, and joint stability, while activities like Pilates can enhance core strength, flexibility, balance, and posture.

However, Dr Dhamangaonkar emphasized the importance of executing exercises correctly to avoid potential injuries, such as excessive load on joints, tendons, ligaments, and the spinal column.

When starting a new workout routine, Dr Dhamangaonkar advised that it is crucial to consider one's age, physical condition, medical history, and any musculoskeletal disorders. For beginners, he suggested starting with moderate resistance and gradually increasing the load on the muscles under proper guidance. Proper posture, controlled exercises, and a warm-up are necessary to prevent injury.

Recovery is also a vital aspect of any workout routine, with appropriate rest, nutrition, and protein intake supporting muscle recovery, while adequate calcium and vitamin D intake maintain bone health.

Dr Dhamangaonkar warned against blindly following celebrities' workouts without considering individual needs. Instead, the goal should be to strengthen the body, protect joints, and preserve mobility throughout one's life.
