Anil Kapoor stresses on 'rest days' after 6 days of training & weightlifting

Fitness enthusiast Anil Kapoor on Friday took to his Instagram handle to tell his fans and followers that 'rest days are important' after 6 days of intense training. Sharing some pictures from his home gym, Kapoor said that everyone must let the body rest.

Explaining the importance behind the 'rest days', Kapoor said that when a person hits weights, that creates stress on the body and on the muscles, which is why he takes one whole day off from gyming. So, what does he do on his rest day? Kapoor revealed that he relaxes and enjoys fruits. He also indulges in activities that help him unwind as that helps him to prepare for the next 6 days of training.

The 'Malang' actor concluded by saying that the lockdown has been a learning curve for him. He urged everyone to stay home and stay motivated.

It’s not all about being locked in the dungeon of my gym, hitting reps after reps day after day . We must take time to let the body rest. When we hit weights we create stress on the body on the muscles from that forced stress the muscle rebuilds itself making it stronger. ‬ ‪Rest days are important that’s why I take one whole day off. A day when I relax and enjoy the fruits of a disciplined weekOn that day I do all the important things that help me unwind ....‬ ‪During this process my body and mind can unwind . In this relaxed state I know I am being kind to my body and my body will be ready for the following 6 days of training . ‬ ‪I take a more relaxed approach to my meals . A little more generous with portion size or may be a little treat thrown in. ‬ ‪I was never into weightlifting nor did I take rest days so seriously....but this lockdown has definitely been a learning curve for me in many ways and this is one of them‬ ‪For we can not forget a training plan is long term and the body needs its reward. I let my body take it easy because I know from the next day I am gonna make it work like crazy till the next rest day comes round...it’s a perfect balance of faith...patience and perseverance... #stayhomestaymotivated
