Martial arts, swimming, yoga: Rahul Gandhi shares his fitness routine with Gen Z. Congress leader says staying fit is ‘being persistent and doing it continuously’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has lately been delighting social media users, especially the Gen Z audience, with his interesting social media posts and live interactions. Be it playfully answering questions regarding his comparisons to the famous DC character Batman or introducing his mother, Sonia Gandhi’s adorable pet dog Noorie to the world, the political leader has been winning hearts with his relatable and candid online presence. In his latest Instagram entry, Rahul Gandhi once again captured attention by sharing his fitness routine with everyone.

Rahul Gandhi’s fitness mantra

Off late, Rahul Gandhi has been answering some burning questions about himself through Instagram’s Ask Me Anything sessions. ‘Students, Gen Z, ask me anything and I will reply to as many questions,’ read his post. Needless to mention, the 56-year-old has been actively sharing anecdotes, offering glimpses of his personal life.

In one such session, an individual requested Rahul Gandhi to share his fitness routine and the Congress leader shared his mantra. ‘The 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,’ advised Rahul Gandhi, adding that he likes doing ‘a little bit of martial arts, swimming and running.’

Rahul Gandhi’s fitness advice to Gen Z

Apart from that, Rahul Gandhi admitted that he has recently found a fondness towards yoga. ‘It is part of my work life to do 1 hour of building strength, building aerobic capacity, building flexibility. So 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,’ he noted.

In conclusion, Rahul Gandhi also delivered a piece of advice to Gen Z. He pointed out that fitness only works for the body and overall health if an individual is eating clean, avoiding ‘snacking all the time’ and abstaining from ‘drinking a lot of alcohol’. ‘It only works if you take it as a composite thing; if you are thinking about it as a balance,’ were his final words.
