And the man behind his current transformation is coach Sagar Ahuja, who believes that maintaining a six-pack all year round is actually possible with the right guidance and mindset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is now leaner and stronger, he lifts more weight than most 20-year-olds going to the gym. Bodyweight went from 82 kgs to 69 kgs, waist went from 36 to 29.5 inches, chubby fat to chiselled six-pack abs at 43. More importantly, better energy, improved posture, and higher consistency in daily routine,\u201d he told\u00a0indianexpress.com\u00a0in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When someone like Warikoo shares his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/lifestyle\/fitness\/badminton-pv-sindhu-fitness-routine-mental-wellness-marriage-giving-back-inspiration-interview-10618318\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">transformation<\/a><\/strong> publicly, it sets a standard. An excited Ahuja, who started working with Warikoo in 2023, expressed, \u201cIt feels great, but more than validation, it\u2019s a responsibility. People don\u2019t just see results \u2013 they see what\u2019s possible. We started working together in 2023 when he wanted to specifically target belly fat and overall conditioning, without compromising his lifestyle. I connected with him via email first, and then we had a Zoom call. My main goal was not only to help him achieve his best physique but also to improve his eating habits so that he stays in shape year-round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahuja, who has coached more than 4,000 men, including founders of companies like Urban Company, <a rel=\"noamphtml nofollow noopener\" class=\"keywordtourl\" href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/zomato-ltd-share-price\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zomato<\/a>, MakeMyTrip, and Eazydiner, apart from CEOs and creators, talks about his mission to help men become sharper physically and mentally, not just lose weight\u2014the main reason why he started Alphamen, a wellness company focused on men\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;border: 0;border-radius: 3px;margin: 1px;max-width: 540px;min-width: 326px;padding: 0;width: calc(100% - 2px)\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CzZDuHSIRyw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEarly on, I realised most fitness advice fails because it doesn\u2019t fit real lives. Busy professionals don\u2019t need perfect plans; they need sustainable systems. Over the last few years, I\u2019ve coached many, helping them lose fat, improve energy, and build discipline that carries into every area of life,\u201d Ahuja said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The duo went on to achieve \u201cshredded physique in 10 months\u201d. \u201cThrough his improved eating habits and awareness, now he maintains a six-pack year-round without anyone\u2019s help. Once in a couple of months, I check on him regarding things, that\u2019s it,\u201d Ahuja shared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal was kept \u201csimple\u201d: \u201cLose fat till he achieves six pack abs, improves strength, and makes it sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the approach? \u201cNo crash dieting; no overtraining; flexible workouts as he travels a lot; focus on habits, systems, not motivation; and build a routine that fits his calendar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While initially, it was about fat loss, now it\u2019s about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/lifestyle\/food-wine\/pankaj-bhadouria-masterchef-india-fame-food-nutrition-interview-10611066\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">maintenance<\/a><\/strong>, longevity, and performance \u2013staying fit despite a demanding schedule. \u201cHe trains typically 4-5 days a week, and his focus areas are strength training (hitting two muscle groups a day); daily one hour tennis, and light cardio,\u201d mentioned Ahuja, who also coached Warikoo\u2019s parents, who are over 70.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, Warikoo\u2019s current wellness routine is a mix of warm-up and mobility, strength training (major lifts), and core work and lasts 45-60 minutes, he apprised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s his diet like? \u201cI did design his diet, but not a restrictive one. The principles we followed were high protein intake, balanced carbs and fats, and a no-ban list of foods\u2014he even ate\u00a0chole bhature\u00a0occasionally. Flexibility for travel and work,\u201d shared Ahuja.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s special about Warikoo? \u201cFitness is not about abs\u2014it\u2019s about becoming a more disciplined version of yourself. Once that changes, everything else follows\u2014business, relationships, mindset. Honestly, motivation isn\u2019t the focus. We build systems so he doesn\u2019t need motivation, and he is himself a system-driven person. He treats workouts like meetings\u2014non-negotiable. That\u2019s the biggest differentiator,\u201d said Ahuja.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1990\" class=\"lazyloading wp-image-10631329 size-full\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ankur-warikoo-trainer-sagar-ahuja_600-1.jpeg\" alt=\"ankur warikoo with Sagar Ahuja \"  \/> Ankur Warikoo and Sagar Ahuja (Photo: Sagar Ahuja)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Quick tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Top 3 fitness tips for beginners<\/p>\n<p>*Start small but stay consistent<\/p>\n<p>*Focus on calories and daily movement<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">*Don\u2019t chase perfection\u2014chase sustainability. \u201cConsistency wins every time.
