Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently opened up about his fitness routine, revealing the variety of exercises he relies on to stay fit at 56. He shared the details during an Instagram Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, where he has been answering questions from students and Gen Z about his personal life, interests and experiences. \u201cStudents, Gen Z, ask me anything and I will reply to as many questions,\u201d Gandhi wrote while inviting questions from his followers.

Rahul Gandhi on his fitness routine<\/p>\n

During the session, a follower asked him, \u201cHey Rahul, what\u2019s your fitness routine<\/a>?\u201d In response, Rahul said there is no single workout routine that determines whether someone will remain fit. According to him, the most important factor is staying consistent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing about fitness that is important is not really the routine you follow. It is being persistent, doing it continuously and allowing it to compound,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rahul revealed that his own routine includes a mix of physical activities. \u201cI like doing a little bit of martial arts, swimming and running,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also revealed that yoga has recently become an important part of his routine. Rather than treating exercise as something he does only when he has spare time, Rahul said he makes it a priority regardless of how busy his schedule gets.<\/p>\n

\u2018If I have to do it at 11 at night, I will do it at 11\u2019<\/p>\n

Explaining how he fits fitness into his demanding schedule, Rahul<\/a> said he dedicates around an hour to different aspects of physical fitness. \u201cIt is part of my work life to do 1 hour of building strength, building aerobic capacity, building flexibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that exercise is not something he considers a leisure activity that can be pushed aside when work gets busy. Instead, he deliberately makes time for it. \u201cSo it is not something I do in my free time; it is something that I make time for regardless of what happens. If I have to do it at 11 at night, I will do it at 11 at night,\u201d Rahul said.<\/p>\n

Rahul\u2019s advice to Gen Z<\/p>\n

Rahul also had a message for young people looking to improve their fitness. He emphasised that exercise alone cannot compensate for unhealthy lifestyle habits and that fitness should be viewed as a combination of regular physical activity<\/a> and mindful eating.<\/p>\n

He advised people to focus on eating clean, avoid constantly snacking and limit alcohol consumption. \u201cIt only works if you take it as a composite thing; if you are thinking about it as a balance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For Rahul, therefore, fitness appears to be less about following an intense or complicated workout plan and more about consistency, making time for movement and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.<\/p>\n
