Earlier this year, when he was asked about his fitness, he simply said, “I am not a fitness guru, but I rotate cardio, weight training and yoga in my weekly routine. The most important part is meditation for 20 minutes every morning.” His statement shows that by proper planning and doing it continuously, one can remain fit despite increasing age.

Anand Mahindra does not maintain his workout routine. Sometimes we do cardio on swimming and elliptical machines, and sometimes we strengthen our muscles by lifting weights. Also maintain flexibility and balance through yoga and stretching. This variety keeps their body active and does not put too much pressure on any one part.

The biggest concern with increasing age is the loss of muscle and bone strength. They rely on strength training to overcome this challenge. Fitness experts also believe that weight training is very beneficial for the elderly, because it reduces the risk of falling and weakening of bones.

To keep his heart healthy, he does swimming and elliptical training. Both these exercises increase the capacity of the heart and lungs without putting much pressure on the body. People who do cardio regularly not only avoid heart disease, but also remain more active in everyday life.

Yoga and stretching are a part of his routine, which keeps him flexible in body and calm in mind. As age increases, balance and posture often deteriorate, but because of yoga, Mahindra remains agile and balanced even today. Besides, stress also gets reduced by deep breathing and slow movements.

However, according to Mahindra, morning meditation is most important. He meditates for 20 minutes daily. Its effect is visible not only on the mind but on the entire life. He believes that meditation reduces mental pressure, clears thoughts and the day starts with positive energy.
