Union Minister Kiren Rijiju <\/a>is one of the fittest Indian politicians, and he often shares videos of himself working out and taking up various fitness challenges on social media. In an April 2025 interview with ANI, the minister talked about how he stays fit and the secret to staying healthy with busy work schedules.<\/p>\n

The secret to Kiren Rijiju’s fitness<\/p>\n

In the interview, the Union Minister<\/a> was asked how he manages to stay physically active and fit despite his irregular schedule and busy hours. Sharing that it becomes difficult, he stated, \u201cI am a very adventurous man. I always keep myself busy, either mentally or physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMentally, of course, I am in a responsible position, so I have to keep myself engaged with my duties towards the people \u2013 responsibilities, meeting my people, doing work \u2013 this will keep happening,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

How does he stay fit physically?<\/p>\n

However, amid all the duties, physical fitness becomes a challenge for Rijiju. He stressed that without physical fitness, one cannot achieve mental fitness, and everything is based on one’s physique<\/a>. Therefore, he makes a point of staying physically active whenever he travels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the process, I get to encounter different things which become a learning point for me, and then it helps in settling and balancing my mental fitness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Moreover, when the minister travels, he requests his team to clear his schedule from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. During this time, he walks, swims, or even goes for a jog. \u201cIf there is no place, then I will do some stretching in my room. Whenever I get time, if I get a yoga instructor, I may also do yoga,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The union minister further explained, \u201cThis is a regulated thing \u2013 not regulated in the timely manner, but regulated in my approach. It can be morning, evening, or night, but I have to do it. This physical activity puts me in a much better mental position to carry out my job: to think, understand, and deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does Kiren Rijiju wake up early to stay healthy?<\/p>\n

When asked if he wakes up early in the morning to stay physically and mentally active, the minister replied, \u201cWaking up early in the morning is totally dependent on my schedule. Because sometimes my flight is at 4:00, then I have to get up at 2:00. If my flight is at 6:00, I have to get up at 4:00. These are dependent on the schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Union Minister Kiren Rijiju is one of the fittest Indian politicians, and he often shares videos of himself…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[278],"tags":[18,525,135,268492,19,17,268490,268491,69291,68804,132837],"class_list":["post-635247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-eire","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-how-kiren-rijiju-stays-fit","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kiren-rijiju","tag-kiren-rijijus-fitness-secret","tag-mental-fitness","tag-physical-fitness","tag-staying-active"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117088970707921851","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
