From the early nineties right up to now, Milind Soman has always stood out for his phenomenal fitness levels. Easily capable of taking on the younger breed of celebrities with chiseled bodies, Milind Soman can run anyone aground when it comes to his physique – all thanks to his dedicated fitness regimen.

Recently having become a cycling buff, Milind Soman’s fitness regimen came to his rescue to help him hop on board a triathlon and kick life into his performance – despite not having even heard of cycling as a full-fledged sporting event.
An enduring fitness enthusiast for years together, Milind Soman has remained a very wholesome fitness freak – working on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical components of fitness, taking each one as seriously as the next.

His initial tryst with fitness began with swimming – where Milind Soman won several swimming meets with the unending support from his family till he turned 23. Back in the day, he used to train for about 3 to 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. The impact it had on his physique was as clear as day, in the still popular video, Made in India. Unfortunately, when he took to modeling, he fell prey to the bad habit of smoking – and later, in 2004, in the Mumbai Marathon, he had a life changing experience through running, and gave up smoking.

In 2009, after five years of running the half marathon every year, he decided to enter the full marathon (42 kms) and completed it in 4 hours 50 minutes. Since that day onwards, Milind Soman has been a regular to all running events, and even put together the Pinkathon event in favour of running for Breast Cancer awareness.
Also working just as hard on his diet, Milind Soman is a very conscious eater. He eats everything save for refined sugars, and tends to reduce and limit his intake of meat while all other food is eaten in moderation. He enjoys ghee and butter with his every meal. A committed fitness enthusiast, Milind Soman’s key goal has always been to ensure that he takes slow steps towards keeping his fitness levels high. He also makes it a point to listen to his body – and to keep his energy levels buoyed through motivation from within.
