300 days of workout in 2017: Can Lenovo MD Rahul Agarwal keep his promise?

As the year comes to a close, it is the start of New Year resolutions. In the case of Lenovo chief Rahul Agarwal, the end of the year is a chase towards completing a resolution he made at the start of the year — completing 300 days of working out.

The MD of the technology company had earlier told ETPanache that he aimed to beat his 2016 record of 298 days, this year.

Posting his journey on a social media platform earlier this month, Agarwal wrote, "24 workouts away from hitting the magical 300 for the year. Part of me is telling me that it's perhaps not so important to put such aggressive goals… look for more balanced and wholesome fitness...

There have been days when my body and mind just wasn't ready to hit the gym but I drove myself ruthlessly."

24 workouts away from hitting the magical 300 for the year. Part of me is telling me that its perhaps not so imp to put such aggressive goals that literally kill you & look for more balanced and wholesome fitness #keepreinventing #keepgrowing

Forced temporary workout break because of injuries and I surprisingly realize suddenly how much spare and luxurious time do I have. It's not bad to just laze around in the bed in the morning doing nothing. In a twisted way, envious of people for a moment,who don't work out :-)

While he admits to having been harsh on himself, his advice to beginners is to be disciplined, maintain a balance and not get "carried away by such goals." Agarwal also threw open the floor, asking for suggestions for his next year's fitness goal.
