Every body is different. Anil designs a personalized workout plan based on your goals, fitness level, injuries and lifestyle — so you get results faster with zero guesswork.
Beginners should start with 3 days per week — for example Monday, Wednesday, Friday — with rest days in between. This gives muscles enough time to recover and grow. After 4–6 weeks you can gradually increase to 4–5 days. More is not always better; recovery is when the body actually builds muscle.
For muscle building or fat loss, do weight training first and cardio after. When you lift first, your glycogen stores are full and you perform better. Cardio after weights uses remaining fuel and promotes fat oxidation. If your main goal is endurance performance, cardio first may be better — discuss your goal with Anil for a personalised approach.
A focused strength training session of 45–75 minutes is ideal for most people. Beyond 75 minutes, cortisol (stress hormone) levels rise and recovery becomes harder. Warm up for 5–10 minutes, train for 40–55 minutes, and cool down for 5 minutes. Quality of work and progressive overload matter more than time spent in the gym.
Before: Eat a small meal with carbs and protein 60–90 minutes before training — rice with chicken, banana with peanut butter, or idli with egg. After: Within 45 minutes of training, have protein + carbs — whey with banana, rice with dal and eggs, or curd rice with chicken. This window is critical for muscle recovery and growth.
Training the same muscle group every day is not ideal — muscles need 48–72 hours to repair. You can train daily if you split body parts (e.g. chest Monday, back Tuesday, legs Wednesday). However, for most people 4–5 training days with 2–3 rest or active recovery days gives the best long-term results and prevents injury and burnout.
Sleep is when 80% of your muscle repair and growth hormone release happens. Without 7–8 hours of quality sleep, even the best training and diet plan will underdeliver. Poor sleep increases cortisol, promotes fat storage, reduces strength and slows recovery. Treat sleep as part of your training program — not optional.
Yes — this is called body recomposition and it is most effective for beginners and people returning after a break. It requires a slight calorie deficit or maintenance calories, high protein intake (1.6–2g per kg bodyweight), and consistent strength training. Results are slower than pure bulking or cutting, but very effective. Anil specialises in body recomposition programs.
No — you can achieve excellent results with food alone, especially on a well-planned Indian diet. Supplements like whey protein are convenient but not necessary. If your diet is already providing adequate protein (chicken, eggs, dal, paneer, curd), you do not need a supplement. Creatine has strong evidence for strength gains and is safe. Always focus on food first, supplements second.
